As all the members of the Jade Dragons and their allies were focused on their tasks, Dante and Netherius' battle was still ongoing, razing the area to the ground as if a powerful natural disaster had struck.
Whenever their scythes clashed, shockwaves appeared that shattered the buildings' walls and windows, strands of black lightning struck the area indiscriminately, and the necrotic air got denser.
After Dante managed to avoid one of Netherius' slices and retaliated, he was shocked when his attack was repelled, feeling a pressure in his gut that pushed him hundreds of meters into a crumbling structure.
Instead of continuing his attack, Netherius used his bone wings to hover in the air, glaring at the site where Dante crashed and waiting for him to stand back up.
*Ptoo* Dante spat out some blood as he removed the pieces of heavy debris that were crushing his body.
'I knew he would be stronger, but this is a bit ridiculous…' Dante thought.
