Jean took the lead and attacked the lump of flesh that was Mephisto before him.
Wind blades accompanied his slashes, severing all the tentacles that came to intercept him.
But just as he was about to approach the main body, several mouths suddenly opened, emitting a high-frequency sonic roar that forcefully restricted Jean's movements for a second.
During that one second of stagnation, several wings flapped, and a large number of feathers attacked Jean like flying knives.
Jean had intended to use Stardust Wind to create a shield, but before he could act, a black shield had already completely covered him; Patriot had rushed over to stand in front of him.
Rosemary also unleashed her invisible greatsword, severing a wing at the root with a single strike.
But before everyone could rejoice at the result, with a 'gurgle' sound, the same wing grew back in its original position.
Then Blaze also used her chainsaw to cut off a tentacle, but the result was exactly the same; the tentacle regenerated instantly and simultaneously counterattacked, knocking Blaze back.
Blaze, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, was unsteady on her feet and was pulled back directly by the Doctor.
It seemed that although there was no vitality bonus for the 'Herd', this bonus had all been added to itself.
This made Jean sigh involuntarily; why were all his opponents things with regeneration bugs? Couldn't there be something where 'people die when they are killed'?
Amidst the team's rotating battles, the singing started again, and the controlled Sarkaz mercenaries, members of the Reunion Movement, and a small portion of the Guerilla Shieldguards all moved toward this side.
The situation suddenly became critical.
Jean looked at the tentacle on the ground that had been severed by his White Wind and had not regenerated, sighed, and let go of his mentality of slacking off while relying on the numbers.
"Fine, fine. If heaven wants me to show off, then I will."
He then sheathed his sword, a windstorm whipped up around him, and he said to the others: "You guys hold off these controlled unfortunates, leave this guy to me."
Then, borrowing the wind that had been whipped up, he took a step forward and arrived in front of the monster in an instant.
At the same time, several wind blades severed the incoming tentacles.
He then leaped upward, condensing high-concentration wind orbs in mid-air as footholds, achieving true walking on the wind.
Relying on this, he swept past the various twisted limbs and the chaotic, overgrown wings in one go.
However, the monster before him was not without reaction; all its wings flapped, and feathers resembling steel covered the sky as they attacked Jean.
"Projectiles? Ridiculous. Wind Barrier!"
A wind wall formed by high-concentration airflow appeared in front of Jean, swallowing all these feathers without exception.
Once he reached a sufficient height, Jean used the technique of the stepping slash to close the distance between himself and its head.
"Draw Blade · Lion Fang · Undying Slash."
The huge head was severed in response, and the smooth cut surface experienced a moment of stagnation before green blood began to gush out.
By this time, Jean had already used the recoil of the wind to distance himself, landing gracefully on the ground with a maneuver resembling a gymnastics spin.
The green blood gushing several meters high added a fountain with a rather morbid sense of humor as a background to this incredibly cool posture.
After the headless body went through what seemed like a painful struggle, it toppled to the ground, trembling, and after a burst of twitching, it was silent forever.
