"Ready Kurumi?" I asked, she nodded and we raised our hands to the sky

"Zafkiel!" We cried, with a resounding dong, a large golden clock appeared behind us

I clicked my fingers and darkness spread out from our feet, covering the entire room, Salem looked unamused

"You tried this last time Kurumi, what makes you think doing it again will make any difference?" She asked, I grinned

"Last time she didn't have me." I said, Salems face remained stony, her crimson pupils focused on us, she raised her hand, a hideous ooze rose from the floor, wrapping itself around her arm before slowly falling away to reveal a disgusting blade woven into her very skin

"Let's not waste any more time then shall we?" She said, in a flash she was in front of me, she swung her arm, clashing with Half Rose, I leapt back, loading a crystal into my weapon, Kurumi dashed in with her signature crazed smile plastered over her face, Salem sliced straight through her, the real Kurumi emerged from the darkness below, she unloaded a round of bullets straight into Salems back, Salem twisted unnaturally, avoiding Kurumis attack, I dashed in, swinging Half Rose as it engulfed in flames, Kurumis clones reached out from the floor, grabbing onto Salem, Half Rose embedded deep in Salems skull, her face glowed for a second before exploding, I leapt back, I wasn't stupid enough to believe that was the end, in a flash of golden light, it was as if my sword didn't even touch her, with a swift motion, both me and Kurumi were forced straight into the walls, we fell to the floor, Salem now emanated a horrific aura

"Kurumi, how're we doing?" I asked

"Still need more, much more!" I nodded, Salem raised a hand to the ceiling as the windows shattered from the immense winds now coming from her, the black ooze from before began to raise itself, wrapping around her entire body, whatever she was doing, we had to stop her

"Think we could pull off a Spatial Quake here?" Kurumi nodded, as the ooze encompassed Salems face, reality folded in on itself, resulting in a large black orb consuming everything as it expanded outwards, Kurumi quickly pulled me away and we watched from a distance as the throne room of the fortress crumbled, it seems our efforts were in vain however, as a black figure soon shot from the ruins, the force of their fist against my blade caused the ground beneath us to crack, I looked at what Salem had done to herself, her once thin frame was now adorned in vicious black plates creating armour, half of her face covered by a bone mask and her fingers had elongated in razor sharp claws, I leapt back and was about to try and come up with a strategy, but Salem had no intention of allowing it, she kept dashing towards me, lunging with her claws, my attacks barely fending her off, my Aura was depleting, fast!

"How much longer Kurumi!?" I yelled, three or four clones sprung and tried to pin Salem down, they were cut through with ease one by one

"Little more!" She cried back
