Rakan grabbed both Zeta and Delta and flung them away with his inhumane strength. He goes on all fours and charges after them with a beast-like expression.
Delta and Zeta both flip in the air and land on all fours in the ground, their claws used to stop their momentum.
Zeta extended her hands conjuring forth her chakrams with her metal magic, which now acts more like her divinity due to their previous training and transformation.
Meanwhile Delta kicks the ground destroying a part of it due to her strength, as she charged ahead her figure distorts as she had a savage grin.
Her speed caught Rakan by surprise as she appeared in front of him with a punch, all Rakan could do was cross his arms in front of him.
Rakan skidded backward from the force of Delta's punch, his feet gouging deep trenches in the earth. He snarled, his eyes gleaming with primal fury as he regained his footing.
Before he could react, Zeta hurled her chakrams, which whirled through the air with a metallic hum. They slashed at Rakan from multiple angles, cutting deep into his tough hide. Rakan roared in pain, swatting at the chakrams, but they moved with a life of their own, dodging his powerful blows.
Delta, using the opening Zeta created, launched herself at Rakan again. Her claws extended, she aimed for his throat, her movements a blur. Rakan, sensing the danger, twisted his body with surprising agility and managed to deflect her attack with a swipe of his massive claws.
Zeta, seizing the moment, manipulated her chakrams to form a barrier of spinning metal around Rakan, trapping him temporarily.
Delta didn't hesitate as she saw her opportunity. She summoned all her strength, her muscles bulging as she prepared to deliver a devastating blow. She leaped into the air, her body arching gracefully before descending upon Rakan with the force of a falling star.
Rakan, realizing the impending threat, let out a guttural roar and broke free from the chakram barrier with sheer brute force. He raised his arms to block Delta's attack, but the impact was so immense that it sent shockwaves through the ground, creating a crater around them.
For a moment, the battlefield was silent, the air thick with dust and tension. Then, with a mighty heave, Rakan pushed Delta back, his eyes burning with unyielding determination. "You are strong," he growled, his voice a low rumble. "But the Beast Monarch is stronger!"
Delta landed lightly on her feet, breathing heavily but grinning. "We'll see about that," she replied, her eyes gleaming with feral excitement.
Zeta stepped forward, her chakrams hovering protectively by her side.
Rakan roared again, charging at them with renewed ferocity. Zeta and Delta stood their ground, ready to face the onslaught.
All three of their figures vanished and reappeared in rapid succession, their speed creating afterimages that blurred the battlefield. Each time they reappeared, the ground quaked with the force of their attacks.
Rakan's claws slashed through the air, aiming to tear through his opponents. Zeta and Delta moved like shadows, their movements synchronized and fluid. Zeta's chakrams whirled around her, a deadly extension of her will, slicing through the air with lethal precision. Delta darted in and out, her savage strikes keeping Rakan on the defensive.
They reappeared in mid-air, Rakan's powerful fist colliding with Zeta's chakram shield, sending a shockwave that rattled the heavens. Before Rakan could press the attack, Delta struck from his blind side, her claws raking across his ribs and drawing a pained growl from the Beast Monarch.
Rakan's retaliatory swipe missed Delta by a hair's breadth as she disappeared again, only to reappear behind him, delivering a kick to the back of his knee. He staggered, and Zeta seized the opportunity, her chakrams converging on him from all sides.
With a roar, Rakan unleashed a wave of energy, scattering the chakrams and forcing Zeta and Delta to retreat momentarily. His eyes blazed with fury as he charged forward, his speed matching their own. The three combatants clashed again, the sheer force of their blows creating shockwaves that flattened the surrounding terrain.
Each time Rakan thought he had cornered one of them, they vanished, reappearing in unexpected places and launching coordinated attacks. Zeta's chakrams sliced through the air, always just out of reach, while Delta's relentless strikes kept Rakan off balance.
The battle raged on, their figures flickering in and out of existence. The landscape bore the scars of their conflict, deep gouges, and craters marking their passage. Despite his monstrous strength, Rakan found himself increasingly on the defensive, struggling to keep up with the combined might of Zeta and Delta.
Realizing he needed to shift tactics, Rakan unleashed a bestial roar that echoed across the battlefield, summoning a burst of raw, primal energy. The force of it sent Zeta and Delta flying, their bodies skidding across the ground.
But they were far from defeated. Zeta rose to her feet, her chakrams hovering protectively around her. Delta pushed herself up, her eyes blazing with determination.
"He's strong," Delta panted, a savage grin spreading across her face, "But I like it when they fight back, it makes the hunting so much better!"
Delta took a deep breath and let out a thunderous howl that caused Zeta to cover her ears and glare at her.
Delta's shadow expanded, and from it emerged a pack of two-meter-large shadow wolves, their eyes glowing menacingly as they flanked her.
"You can do something like this?" Zeta asked, a bit surprised.
Delta puffed her chest with pride as she nodded. "Bossu said I should be able to with my Divi-Divi, and it worked. NOW CHARGE!" she howled once again, commanding the wolves to charge toward Rakan.
"Divinity..." Zeta corrected, but Delta wasn't paying attention as she charged ahead, leading the pack.
"Why do I even bother," Zeta sighed. 'Now then, since she's getting creative with her divinities, I can't let that mutt get ahead of me,' she thought.
Rakan grumbled as he saw the shadow wolves approaching. A white aura began to expel from his body and surround his claws. He bared his teeth, his eyes narrowing in focus.
White claw marks flew towards the shadow wolves, which were made from Rakan's mana. As they ripped through the shadow shadow wolves they formed once more and continued charging ahead.
When they appeared they clung to him digging their shadow teeth trying to penetrate his hide but were unable to. Rakan would grab them by their throats and rip them to appear with his claws and fangs but they would regenerate and continue their assaults.
Delta one joined in drawing blood with her claws and monstrous strength. Causing Rakan to growl in pain but his regeneration healed, Hit cuts back up.
Meanwhile Zeta turned her chakrams into liquid metal, she summoned multiple around her and began transforming them into multiple different weapons.
She charged towards Rakan and stretched her hand out, she took a hold of a large metal mullet. As she charged in Delta was on all fours, Zeta used Delta as a spring board and jumped towards Rakan, she swung her hammer and bit Rakan across the face. Multiple of his fangs exploded in his mouth as blood flew everywhere.
While even his neck snapped, Rakan was sent flying into multiple building taking them down with his body.
Rakan's massive form crashed through the buildings, debris and dust filling the air. He shook his head, blood dripping from his shattered fangs, his eyes glowing with unrestrained fury. He rose to his feet, his regeneration rapidly healing his injuries, though the pain still lingered.
Delta, still on all fours, growled low, her shadow wolves surrounding her, ready to continue their relentless assault. Zeta landed gracefully, her metal hammer transforming back into liquid metal before forming into a pair of sleek, curved blades in her hands. She narrowed her eyes at the rising Beast Monarch.
"He's not going down easy," Zeta muttered, her grip tightening on her weapons.
Delta nodded, her eyes fixed on Rakan. "We just have to keep hitting him until he does."
Rakan let out a roar that shook the ground, his aura flaring up in a blinding display of power. "You think you can defeat me?" he snarled, his voice a thunderous growl. "I am the Beast Monarch! I will not be bested by mere demigods!"
Delta howled in response, her shadow wolves charging forward once more. They leaped at Rakan, their teeth and claws aiming for his throat and limbs. Rakan swiped at them with his mana-imbued claws, but the shadow wolves regenerated almost instantly, their attacks relentless.
Zeta darted in, her blades flashing in the sunlight. She struck at Rakan with surgical precision, each slice aiming for his vital points. Rakan parried her attacks, but she was too quick, her movements too fluid. She danced around him, her blades leaving trails of sparks as they clashed against his claws.
Delta joined the fray, her strength and speed matching Rakan's blow for blow. She dodged his swipes, countering with devastating punches and kicks. The ground cracked under the force of their battle, shockwaves rippling outwards with each collision.
Rakan roared in frustration, his aura flaring brighter. He released a burst of energy, knocking Delta and Zeta back. But before he could press his advantage, Delta's shadow wolves pounced on him again, their teeth sinking into his flesh. He tore them apart, only for them to reform and continue their assault.
Zeta took advantage of the distraction, her metal blades morphing into chains that wrapped around Rakan's limbs, binding him in place. The chains then glowed red burning into his skin leaving marks, causing Rakan to scream at the torture.
Delta's eyes gleamed with determination. She charged forward, her claws glowing with a fierce energy. She leaped into the air, her form a blur as she descended upon Rakan with all her might.
Rakan struggled against the chains, his eyes widening as Delta's claws dug into his chest, piercing through his armor-like hide. He let out a roar of pain, his aura flickering as he tried to free himself.
Zeta, her chains holding strong, added her own power to the mix. Her metal magic surged through the chains, sending electric shocks through Rakan's body. "You die today!" she declared, her voice ringing with finality.
With a final, thunderous howl, Delta unleashed a burst of energy that tore through Rakan's body, ripping him apart from the inside. The Beast Monarch let out one last, defiant roar before his form crumbled, kneeling with an almost lifeless look. His heart ripped out from him.
Delta landed on the ground, breathing heavily, her shadow wolves disappearing as she released her power. Zeta stood beside her, more liquid metal came forth morphing back into chakrams.
"We did it," Delta panted, a tired but triumphant smile spreading across her face.
"Not yet," Zeta said as she sensually walked up towards Rakan. He was chained up, his head down, while blood endlessly poured from his chest, painting the ground red.
Zeta grabbed him by his hair and made him look up at her. She saw the reluctance and fear in his gaze.
"Any last words?"
"I–"
*Shinnnn*
The sound of metal cutting through the air was heard as Zeta now held his decapitated head. She lifted it up to look at her and smiled. "Kidding~ you don't deserve that privilege."
"Hey! That's not fair!" Delta shouted, pointing at Zeta. "You stole my kill! That means Bossu is going to give you his power! It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair!" Delta whined.
"Relax, you big baby, you can have it," Zeta said, rolling her eyes.
"Eh? You don't want it?"
"Ew, he's part mutt. I don't want any of that inside me," Zeta said in disgust.
"Yay! Wait a minute… Hey!" Delta said, displeased.

[Third Person's PoV]
As Zeta and Delta both left Querehsha, Beta took to the night skies, even though it was night time clouds began to obscure the moon, dimming the natural source of light in the vicinity.
The sound of thunder rumbling and lighting flashing were almost overbearing. When Querehsha looked up she saw Beta, a white short haired elf with wings made from very winds itself, with a large black bow in her hands.
Beta's eyes narrowed as the bolt of lightning coalesced into a crackling blue arrow. She drew back the string of her mighty bow, the energy coursing through the weapon making the air around it hum with power.
Without a word, Beta loosed the arrow. It sliced through the night, a brilliant streak of blue lightning aimed directly at Querehsha.
Querehsha raised her arm, and with a swift motion, summoned a barrier of dark, writhing insects. The arrow struck the swarm, causing a brilliant explosion of light and sound. The force of the impact sent a shockwave through the battlefield, scattering the insects and pushing Querehsha back a few steps.
Beta wasted no time and nocked another lightning-charged arrow. She let it fly, but Querehsha was ready. The queen of insects twisted her body, and from her hand emerged a lance of venom, a sickly green in color, which she hurled toward Beta.
The venom lance met Beta's arrow mid-air, and the two powerful energies collided in a dazzling display of light and dark. The shockwave from their clash shook the ground and sent ripples through the sky.
However Beta wasn't alone, Gamma soared through the chaotic night sky on her broom, her witch hat perched firmly on her head despite the turbulence. Below her, a swarm of gigantic insect-like monsters raged, their grotesque forms scuttling and flapping in a frenzy.
Her eyes glowed with a faint purple hue as she conjured balls of gravity in her hands, each one pulsating with immense power. She hurled them toward the ground, where they made contact and imploded, forming temporary black holes that sucked in the monsters and anything else unfortunate enough to be caught within their radius.
With each throw, the battlefield below became more chaotic. Insects were pulled into the gravitational wells, their massive bodies twisted and compressed before the black holes closed, leaving nothing but empty craters.
Gigantic insects took to the air, chasing after Gamma with their grotesque wings buzzing angrily. Gamma skillfully maneuvered her broom, dodging their venomous stingers and snapping mandibles, All though she appeared confident she was screaming loudly as she desperately grabbed onto her broom flying away. She spun and twisted through the air, The more she flew the more fun she began to have, her laughter echoing as she threw another gravity ball behind her, catching several airborne insects in its implosion.
The temporary black hole sucked the creatures in, their screeches abruptly cut off as they were crushed into oblivion. Gamma continued to rain down her gravity attacks, each one strategically aimed to create maximum destruction among the swarming monstrosities.
Suddenly, a particularly large insect with glistening, chitinous armor lunged at her from the side. Gamma quickly shifted her focus, casting a gravity well directly in front of it. The creature was caught mid-leap, pulled into the swirling vortex and compressed into a singularity before disappearing.
Gamma looked over her shoulder to see more insects closing in. With a swift motion, she created a barrier of gravitational force around herself, causing the approaching monsters to be repelled with such force that they were sent hurtling back into the ground.
"Looks like you'll have to try harder than that!" Gamma called out, her voice filled with confidence and a hint of amusement, her confidence growing the more she fought the monsters
She descended closer to the ground, targeting clusters of the gigantic insects with precision. Her balls of gravity created a symphony of destruction, each implosion a testament to her growing mastery over space and gravity.
Querehsha's irritation grew as she watched her forces decimated. The sound of a triumphant shout echoed across the battlefield, catching her attention.
"IT'S TIME TO ROCK AND ROLL, BABY!!!"
Turning towards the source of the shout, Querehsha saw Epsilon standing atop a rise, her axe-shaped guitar in hand. Epsilon's eyes gleamed with excitement, her presence a stark contrast to the dark chaos around her. She swung her arm, striking the strings of her guitar with a fierce strum.
A beam of sound waves erupted from the guitar, its force disintegrating everything in its path. The ground shattered, monsters were reduced to dust, and even the shadows of the shadow soldiers were momentarily obliterated. Though the shadow soldiers quickly reformed, the sheer power of Epsilon's attack was undeniable.
Epsilon continued to play, her fingers dancing across the strings with precision and fury. Each note unleashed waves of destructive energy, cutting through the ranks of ice elves and beast-like creatures. The ice elves tried to shield themselves with barriers of frost, but the sound waves shattered their defenses, sending them sprawling.
Beast-like creatures lunged at Epsilon, but she deftly dodged, her movements synchronized with the rhythm of her music. With a powerful chord, she sent a shockwave that blasted the creatures back, their bodies crumbling under the force.
Epsilon's music resonated through the kingdom, its power undeniable. She directed her focus toward Querehsha, her guitar glowing with an intense light. Epsilon strummed a final, powerful chord, and a concentrated beam of sound waves shot straight at the Monarch of Plague.
Querehsha barely had time to react. The beam struck her, and she screamed in agony as the sound waves tore through her body. Blood escaped from her wounds, trickling down her form, but her regeneration slowly began to heal the damage. The pain was excruciating, and she could feel her strength being sapped with each passing moment.
Querehsha's eyes burned with fury and pain as she glared at Epsilon, who stood defiantly, her guitar still glowing with residual energy. The battlefield fell silent for a moment, the aftermath of Epsilon's attack leaving a trail of destruction.
"You'll pay for this, you elven bitch," Querehsha hissed, her voice strained.
Epsilon smirked, her confidence unwavering. "Not if you can't keep up with the tempo, insect queen."
Querehsha's chest puffed up, and her cheeks swelled as she prepared to unleash a blast of acidic venom toward Epsilon. The venom shot out at an incredible speed, sizzling the air with its corrosive power. Epsilon, however, merely scoffed, her confidence unshaken.
The ball of venom stopped midair, coming to a complete halt. Querehsha's confusion deepened as she looked up to see Eta, the goddess of Wisdom and Alchemy, lounging on her flying pillow, a sleepy expression evident on her face. With a lazy wave of her hand, Eta transformed the venom into pure water, which fell harmlessly to the ground.
Querehsha snarled, her fury intensifying. "You dare interfere!"
Eta yawned, her demeanor nonchalant as she lazily adjusted her position on the pillow. "Interfere? I thought I was just cleaning up your mess," she replied, her voice calm and detached.
Querehsha lunged at Eta, her claws ready to tear through the goddess. But Eta remained unfazed. With a swift gesture, she transmuted the ground beneath Querehsha into a pool of quicksand, trapping the Monarch of Plague in its grasp. Querehsha struggled to free herself, her movements growing more frantic.
Eta watched with a bored expression. "Struggling is futile.."
Querehsha managed to break free from the quicksand, her fury driving her forward. She launched a series of venomous spikes at Eta, but the goddess effortlessly transmuted each spike into harmless flower petals before they could reach her.
"Is this the best you can do?" Eta asked, her tone almost mocking. She raised her hand, and a circle of alchemical symbols appeared around Querehsha. The ground beneath the insect queen erupted with pillars of stone, striking her and sending her reeling backward.
Querehsha roared in pain and frustration. Her body began to heal, but Eta was relentless. She clapped her hands together, and a burst of alchemical energy enveloped Querehsha, transforming her acidic blood into crystal, each wound becoming a sparkling shard.
Querehsha staggered, her movements hindered by the crystalline formations. Eta floated closer, her eyes gleaming with an almost lazy interest.
With a final, powerful transmutation, Eta turned the air around Querehsha into a binding force, constricting her movements and rendering her nearly immobile. The Monarch of Plague struggled, but Eta's alchemical prowess was too strong.
Querehsha's eyes blazed with hatred and pain as she glared at Eta. "This isn't over," she hissed through gritted teeth.
Eta yawned again, waving her hand dismissively.
Eta released a final wave of alchemical energy, sending Querehsha crashing to the ground, severely injured and unable to continue the fight. Eta floated above her, her expression still nonchalant as she surveyed the battlefield.
The battlefield was littered with the remains of Querehsha's minions, but the fight was far from over. The ground trembled as Querehsha's mana began to seep from her injured body, forming a dark, pulsating cocoon around her. Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, and Eta watched with a mix of caution and curiosity.
After a tense minute, the cocoon erupted, revealing Querehsha in her final, terrifying form. Her body had transformed into a monstrous, insectile being with numerous appendages sprouting from her back. Her insides seemed to be composed of countless insects, ready to be summoned and manipulated at her will.
Querehsha let out a bone-chilling screech, causing the goddesses to wince. The air around them vibrated with the sheer force of her cry.
Beta took to the skies once more, her wings of wind propelling her upward. She nocked an arrow of pure lightning, her eyes locked onto Querehsha. "Let's finish this."
Gamma, riding her broom, gathered balls of gravity in her hands. "I'm with you," she said, her voice steady despite the chaos.
Epsilon strummed her guitar, sending waves of sound energy toward Querehsha, each note a powerful attack. "Time to end this concert on a high note."
Eta, still on her flying pillow, summoned her alchemical power, her eyes sharp and focused. "Let's get this over with already I deserve my beautiful sleep"
Querehsha's insect appendages lashed out, but the goddesses were ready. Beta's arrows of lightning struck true, paralyzing her momentarily. Gamma's gravity balls imploded around her, pulling her appendages into crushing black holes. Epsilon's sound waves disintegrated the insects she summoned, while Eta's alchemical transmutations turned her attacks into harmless elements.
The goddesses moved with precision and unity, their attacks converging in perfect harmony. Beta's lightning, Gamma's gravity, Epsilon's sound, and Eta's alchemy merged into a single, devastating force.
Querehsha screamed as the combined attack struck her. Her appendages were torn apart, her body battered and broken. Blood poured from her wounds as she fell to her knees, her arms severed and useless.
Querehsha's hair was disheveled, her breathing heavy. "I'LL KILL YOU ALL—"
The last thing Querehsha heard was the sound of lightning ripping through the air. As she blinked, Claire appeared in front of her, her entire body covered in chaotic lightning flashing from her eyes. Gritting her teeth, Claire had her sword already at Querehsha's neck.
With a powerful slash, Querehsha's head went flying off her body, twirling in the air. She saw her open neck erupt like a geyser with blood before her body plopped to the floor with a thud and her vision started to darken.
Claire had a serious expression as she slid to a stop. "Like I said, my brother's enemies are my enemies, you insect-looking bitch," she said with a scoff, flicking her sword to wipe away the blood.
The others just stared at her in surprise, not expecting her appearance.
