Everyone gave sighs of relief. Leo took off a bracelet he wore on his right arm and smashed it. The same shadowy liquid that was healing Old man Choi came out of the bracelet and was absorbed into Leo's body like a sponge. The others too did the same thing. Some took off earrings, other tore some type of sash but the result was the same, a shadowy liquid was absorbed into their bodies. It looks like Old man's Choi's item was broken when he was punched allowing him to survive.
All of them started becoming different. Changes were happening within and outside their bodies.Old man Choi's started transforming, his hair started changing from grey back to black. He also had black markings like tattoos all over his body. His limbs were now replaced with long blades. His eyes were pure black.
Aiesha's body lost the fat all around but had the same markings all around with black eyes. Her fists had grown out of proportion, she grew to about three meters looking like a giant with fists that were larger than her head.
Leo had the same tattoo-like markings all over his body and his eyes turned black. He grew claws and his feet became like hands with claws on them. He looked like a human that was evolving backward. He had black fur all over his body with really sharp fangs in his mouth.
Ahang did not have any significant change except the black tattoo markings and black pupils while the leader Abigail grew black wings. The only thing they all had in common were the makings and the change in eye color.
Licht watched their transformation like the villains that normally watched the power rangers transform. The only thing left for them to say was "It's morphin time".
As they finished the transformation, they stared at Licht as he stared at them too with a smile on his face.
"I guess you guys are finally going all out. Okay good, bring it" He took a pose as he twirled his naginata and then pointed it at the five of them.
Aiesha scowled then dashed with Leo. They were using a pincer attack on Licht as they came from different directions at full speed.
"Stonebound" Leo casted a spell as he dashed towards Licht. Stone chains arose from the ground, binding Licht's arms and legs. He tried to break it by pulling but it was harder than he thought it'd be. Leo and Aiesha were already before him. Aiesha punched at his face while Leo swept him from his feet. The two blows connected before Licht could even block. He was spinning in the air till he landed on the ground.
As soon as his body touched the floor, Leo casted another spell. Boulders and giant rocks fell on the body of Licht continuously without a break.
They all watched, waiting to see if he was finally defeated but they were too hopeful. Licht walked out of the debris, looking like really dusty and wrecked but he was not injured. He did not even have a scratch or a bruise. He came out dusting whatever remained of the robe which was funny because he wasn't wearing one but it was also futile as even his hair was dusty. He went from looking like a divine being to looking like a pretty beggar.
The five were a bit surprised that Licht was uninjured even though they expected it. Before Licht could even say a word, Ahang summoned a giant tornado while Leo casted boulders that looked like sharks from a certain angle into the tornado. It was a giant sharkna-oops, it was a giant rocknado. Licht was once again engulfed in another tornado. The winds slashed at him and the giant rocks came into contact with him, some he dodged and some he destroyed but there was a lot.
As the rocknado started to wear out, Abigail used one of her spells too
"Forbidden spell- Descent of the death's hand"
A giant skeletal hand several times the size of the one previously summoned descended from the clouds, as Licht saw the hand coming towards him, his expression became serious as he felt threatened by the power he felt from the hand.
The hand slammed down on Licht but he held steadfast, like Atlas holding up the sky, he held up the skeletal hand. There were cracking sounds coming from his body, Old man Choi charged at Licht who was still holding up the hand.
"Do not blame me for taking this chance" He said. He slashed several times finally leaving marks all over Licht's body. This was the first time Licht was properly injured in this battle. After Choi slashed, Licht lost concentration allowing the giant skeletal hand to crush him.
The hand faded away and they looked into the crater to see Licht. He was bleeding and his arm and leg were bent in odd angles, they were clearly broken but the look on Licht's face was still relaxed.
They were at first pleased when they saw the state Licht was in but after they saw the look on his face, they frowned.
Midas and the others were now worried as they thought Licht was defeated.
"We have to fight them even if it means being defeated. That is the only way we would have a fighting chance." Regallas said.
Midas nodded and everyone was about to move to attack. They saw the look on the faces of the five. They paused, they could not see what was going on in the hole but they knew that Licht was okay.
Licht in the crater was staring out blankly.
'Wow, that actually hurt' Then a smile appeared on his face.
He slowly stood up till he was on one foot. He noticed his injuries and then golden lights started escaping from his bodies. From afar, they looked like fireflies were surrounding his body. By the time the phenomenon ended, Licht was healed. He still looked dusty and ratchet but other than that he was fine.
He looked at the five of them and said "You guys really are something. This was actually better than I expected."
He walked out of the crater as the five backed away. They stared at him menacingly and a little bit scared. They had even thrown a forbidden skill at him and he was still standing before them unharmed.
Now the smile on Licht's face looked demonic to them. Their hearts were palpitating as they saw Licht come closer. They knew Licht had not gone all out against them and that scared them.
They started planning their escape but Licht caught the idea and killed it.
"Are you planning on escaping? I just want to let you know it is no longer possible. I gave you an out but you refused and now you all have to die, sadly." Licht said with a fake frown.
