Kyle was quickly running out of options.
Using the same move to dodge again would essentially deplete him of Ether, and he would be a sitting duck.
He wouldn't even be able to support Ignition's passive Ether usage.
However, retreat also wasn't an option.
The Second Advisor had regained all her senses, and she was faster than him while having the ability to launch devastating ranged attacks.
So, he was forced to keep charging forward.
As he charged forward, the Second Advisor launched another dagger.
CRACK!
Kyle blocked with his hammer without slowing down.
The daggers had destructive power, but they did not have a lot of kinetic energy for people of their level of power.
As soon as the dagger hit the hammer, it vanished.
However, it didn't vanish because Kyle destroyed it, but because it unloaded all its Ice Ether into the hammer.
The hammer instantly became so cold that it froze to Kyle's hand.
Four daggers left.
The Second Advisor launched another one.
BANG!
Kyle's hammer completely froze, and its composition denatured.
Both of Kyle's arms froze.
Three daggers left.
She launched another one.
CRACK!
Kyle's hammer exploded just as a burst of fire exploded out of his arms.
The dagger gave off all of its Ether again, but there was nothing it could go into except the surroundings.
After all, Kyle had literally detonated his arms into many frozen chunks.
He was still charging forward despite not having any arms left.
Two daggers left.
The Second Advisor launched another one.
Kyle gritted his teeth.
BOOOM!
He created an explosion above the dagger with 10% of his Ether, slightly changing its trajectory.
It angled down a bit and hit his abdomen right in-
BOOOOM!
Kyle detonated everything below his chest milliseconds before the dagger hit him.
Now, he was left with his chest, neck, and head.
Any future hit would be fatal, and he only had 10% of his Ether left.
One dagger left.
Kyle kept going forward, his face contorted in fury.
The Second Advisor launched-
Suddenly, the world lost its hue as Kyle activated his Momentum with all of his power.
The Second Advisor's hand shook.
The shock of Kyle's Momentum was significant, and she lost control for a short moment.
And then…
She bit on her lips, drawing blood as she forcefully halted her dagger.
She continued moving back and regained control.
The last dagger was still ready, and she aimed it at Kyle. Kyle just kept charging forward, leaving a trail of fire and smoke behind.
He was out of options, but he still continued.
There was nothing he could do, but he still kept going.
The Second Advisor launched the last dagger.
BANG!
A bolt of lightning washed over Kyle harmlessly and hit the dagger, turning it into cold gas.
A dense wind of Ice Ether washed over Kyle, but it didn't have any penetrative power anymore.
The Second Advisor's eyes opened wide in shock.
She had been so busy with Kyle that she had forgotten that Sebastian had also joined the battle earlier!
Just two kilometers away from the battle, lightning came out from all over Sebastian's body as he looked forward.
The Second Advisor gathered more Ice Ether-
BANG!
Several bolts of lightning came from the sky, went past the Second Advisor, and hit the ground.
The Ice Ether in the surroundings was disturbed and pushed away by the dense Lightning Ether.
Sebastian opened his fists, and a cube made of pure lightning formed around the Second Advisor.
Then, he clenched them again.
BANG!
Eight bolts of lightning came out of the cube's inner corners and focused on the Second Advisor's body.
Her entire body blackened and convulsed under the intense electricity.
While Kyle had been keeping the Second Advisor busy, Sebastian hadn't just stood around, doing nothing.
No, he had used this opportunity to prepare an ungodly number of powerful Lightning Spells.
The eight bolts of lightning had injured the Second Advisor more than all of Kyle's past attacks combined, and the attack wasn't even over yet.
CRACK!
But at that moment, the Second Advisor's original daggers broke apart.
The daggers were made with solidified and concentrated Ice Ether.
When the daggers exploded, the insides of the cube filled with Ice Ether, and small walls made of ice blocked the lightning bolts from hitting the Second Advisor.
Sebastian gritted his teeth as he moved his hands down.
BOOOOM!
A humongous bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
Yet, all the walls gathered again and blocked it, turning the huge bolt into several tiny ones that hit the ground below the Second Advisor.
When Sebastian saw that, his expression intensified.
A huge wave of pure Lightning Ether washed over the Second Advisor, but it didn't accomplish more than creating some minor burns.
Sebastian almost fell over.
He had just used up all of his Ether. The Second Advisor realized that this had been an attack in desperation.
Just the fact that Sebastian had this much Ether was already unimaginable.
And then, a rage-filled face appeared right in front of her.
That was when she realized that this had not been a desperate attack.
This attack had been launched to disturb her Ether Sense and block her vision!
Kyle reached the Second Advisor, and his head grew.
Finally, he opened his gigantic mouth…
And bit down!
He bit down with all of his power and ground his teeth together.
The Second Advisor's arms reflexively tried to push Kyle's torso away, but they didn't feel anything!
Kyle no longer had an abdomen or legs.
There was nothing to push!
She quickly changed her approach and dug her fingernails into Kyle's cheek, tearing off his flesh.
But the problem with that was that there was just too much flesh on the gigantic head.
She couldn't gather any Ice Ether from the surroundings to launch another attack, and she had used her remaining Ether earlier to block the lightning bolts!
Yet, her efforts were not in vain.
Her fingers got a good hold on Kyle's jaw.
She just needed to yank and break-
BANG!
Kyle's last bit of Ether was used to explode the flesh around the spot she had grabbed.
The explosion pushed her hand away.
Once more, the Second Advisor grabbed Kyle's jaw.
CRACK!
She gave the command to pull, but her control over her arms waned as her neck broke.
The mouth of a beast was a terrifying place to be.
It constantly broke down any kind of Ether inside of it.
Her mind became more chaotic, and the orders she gave were no longer followed perfectly.
Her arms started to flail weakly in an attempt to tear Kyle's head off.
But before she could get anywhere, the last strand of flesh was torn apart by Kyle's grinding teeth.
Her body fell from the sky.
The Second Advisor couldn't think straight anymore.
She just felt a wet object moving "her" around for a moment.
Kyle's tongue put the severed head over his molars.
Then, he bit down.
An unimaginable feeling of pressure came over the Second Advisor.
CRKSH!
Then, her head was crushed.
