The Gods' Decree 90 Cremation

You both have dished out your assaults, now give me the honours."

Taf spoke as he eyed the two demon beasts that contrasted in size below in the wrecked forest.

" Guess i can truly cut loose in this battle huh. Let's test this combo of mine"

As he spoke a second hammer three ft in length was summoned within his left hand.

" This combination will expend quite a bit of my qi, therefore, all needs to be perfect. Will this truly be as effective as i intend?"

Taf thought as he swiftly drew up his plans on how to counter these 9th stage demon beasts.

" One's inherent art seems both a combination of wind and sound. The other has encased himself in metal that at the moment seems quite impenetrable.

From the strike i received previously, this armour is in a league of its own in comparison to the previous eighth stage demon beast. Therefore, my hammer attacks will be less effective.

So how then do i make this armour that seemingly is able to stand the test of time, nothing but hay in my wake?"

Different scenarios popped up within his head. As he thought old Man Ming's imagine was seen.

Within the kitchen of a restaurant there laid four corpses. One's face seemed burnt and deformed as an oily substance dripped on the floor.

" Remember if two options are placed before you there might be a third or even fourth hidden in the rubble. Your environment will always play a key role in deciding a battle. Now the question i ask of you is will you be observant enough to capitalize?"

Soon the image faded as he saw himself now plummeting to the ground.

" Yes, i will old man..."

He then cried out within his head...

☆ Elemental Art ( Light) Illumination☆

Both hammers then became shrouded in blinding light.

" Counter this you dumb Jackal"

Taf taunted as he then smashed both hammers together which would blind anyone below.

" Paltry tricks as expected of a child. Do you really think we are similar to those you previously fought? You truly disappoint me..., now Die"

The Jackal then while on all fours as though his legs were made of springs launched itself within the air.

Its fangs sought to tear apart and disrupt any plans Taf might have by taking the fight to him. However, at each attempt there was nothing but light. Before long it had leapt pass the plummeting Taf who was still shrouded in blinding white light.

Seeing its attack coming to nought it became enraged. Then calling forth within its mind.

☆ Demon Inherent Art - Sounds of the Almighty Howl☆

As the jackal was about to unleash its onslaught on Taf below. Unbeknown to it, Taf was unleashing an art of his own a few seconds before.

☆ Elemental Art ( Darkness) Quintessence of the Shadows☆

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

On the ground, a massive metallic gorilla charged at a youth who contrary to the previous confrontation dodged its attack with seeming ease.

" How can this child move with such ease while fighting. It is as though he is made of air. The other thing i find most odd is he is currently aiming to dodge and not retaliated. It's as though both hammers are just for show.

Where is that damn Jackal off to....?"

The white furred Gorilla thought as it once again tried plummetting Taf to paste with its metallic fists. A smile was constant on Taf's face as the gorilla chased.

" I'll ensure that smile of yours is turned to agony you spawn"

It then shouted within Taf's mind as it saw itself being taunted by the human child.

Suddenly Taf then stopped in place to the confusion of the demon beast.

" What is this child playing at..?"

It thought as it smashed its massive fist atop Taf's head.

Boooom!!!!!!

The ground below cried out once more as a huge crater was formed from the impact. There was no celebration from the beast, however, as it knew it had not hit a solid object. Its hands basically went through black fog.

" Hehe, you have played your role perfectly, now die"

It heard a voice coming from the collapsed shadows.

▪ Fast forward 20 seconds to the present▪

☆ Demon Inherent Art - Sounds of the Almighty Howl☆

Howlll!!!!!!!

The Jackal's attack seemingly became amplified while it was in the air. The winds swirled as huge sound ripples could be seen. Its target a youth in dreads plummetting towards the ground.

As the Jackal unleashed its attack it saw the youth mouth a few words.

" Dying words i see. How sa.. "

Before it could finish the words final formed into a sentence.

"Thanks for your assistance my Jackal friend or should i say Jackass"

Taf grinned before he made a shout within his mind.

☆ Elemental Art ( Fire) Breath of Life☆

His cheeks became puffed as his body expanded somewhat before...

BOOOM!!!!!!!

Torrent scorching flames became apparent. Below Taf a sea of flames could be seen. That was not the end as Taf dodged the attack of the Jackal. The flames below seemingly intensified three folds.

Below the gigantic metallic gorilla felt as though it was nearing the sun.

" Where is this heat coming from?"

It shielded its eyes looking toward the skies that were still blinding bright. Soon instead of the once white blinding skies, it saw seas of yellow.

Above Taf looked on with a big grin on his face.

" Hmmm, i think a fitting name for this combo would be Cremation. "

As Taf spoke the sea of fire amplified through the use of unwilling help of the Jackal, rained down on the metallic gorilla.

"So the question was posed before me, How do i wreak havoc on that metallic defence you apparently deem impenetrable?

If i can't break through then i would simply mould it into a casket for you. Call me a blacksmith my dear deceased ape. Now burn!!!!"

Soon inferno driven flames met the mettalic gorilla below. Its metal exterior started to sizzle from the intense heat.

It grimaced in pain as the metal now was no more as a thick boiling liquid was now dripping from its body. Haunted growls could be heard escaping from its mouth. There were few words that escaped from it that only the Jackal above could understand.

" Damn Jackal i hope you too burn in hell"

That was the last thing it uttered as its gigantic body was scorched where it stood.
