In the Northern Territory, the battle between Nash and Arlo raged on, reaching a critical, desperate point.
Nash still could not find any solution.
Was this sudden disaster truly going to end in a complete victory for the Church of the Netherworld?
Everything he had protected all this time seemed to dissolve into nothingness, like a fleeting dream.
Nash recalled the nightmare he had once experienced. In it, all his loved ones transformed into monsters, leaving him in unbearable pain and helplessness.
He had watched as the monsters slowly devoured him and he was too powerless to stop them.
Awakening from his daze, Nash swore to himself that he would never allow such an ending to come true. Now, he was the only one who could stand up and fight.
Resolving himself, Nash wielded his two weapons and attacked Arlo once more. Yet unexpectedly, Arlo snapped the Shura Sky-Piercing Spear in half.
"This guy must have a weakness somewhere..." Nash thought as he retracted the Shura Sky-Piercing Spear.
With the Bloodthirster Bone Sword still unresponsive, Nash pondered deeply. Disregarding Arlo's immunity to attacks, there might be another possibility… Even if the Bloodthirster Bone Sword did not respond...
Hence, Nash stowed away both weapons and charged at Arlo with his bare fists.
This time, his attack worked. Nash felt relieved that his gamble had paid off. Otherwise, without his true energy protection, he would have been a sitting duck.
Now understanding Arlo's ability, Nash realized that Arlo was not affected by true energy, which meant he could only be defeated with physical techniques or godly power.
With this knowledge, Nash readied himself and flew straight at Arlo.
Even when he grew aware that Nash had figured out his ability, Arlo remained unfazed.
"So what?!" Arlo scoffed.
