A battle between Erca and the witches rages on. With his fighting spirit reignited, Arka fights effectively with Garou to keep Arka's defense. Erca knows Garou's soul is in full force and one transfiguration may not be enough to kill him. Arka's soul was in a much more unstable condition, but Erca was also not in a very good condition. He felt less than half of his full strength after the duplicate was destroyed and struck with a black Flash after the Arka attack. It all started from Jang Uk, making Erca admit that although she was a nobody to him, Jang Uk left his mark on this fight.
Erca plans to deal with Garou's transition first and tries to use the transfigured humans to distract the Arcs. However, Erca is shocked when Garou uses her technique to swap places with a transfigured human. This allowed him to get behind Erca and force the demon to destroy his own weapon at the same time. Garou thought about the feeling of being left behind now because Erca could also use a black flash. Arka refused to lag and used the technique during the fight. Garou refuses to let Arka feel alone and lets go of her own black spark. By giving a perfect high kick, Garou hit Erca with a black glint!
Erca's arm was broken by Garou's black glint but she didn't believe Garou would be able to hurt her like that. Even so, the special grade demon acknowledged that the three fighters had reached 120% of their potential. Erca voluntarily spewed out some transfigured miniature humans and combined them using the Multiplicity of the soul. Erca immediately activates the Body Repel, creating several transfigured serpent-like heads that try to chew on the enemy with their giant teeth.
Body Repel broke through the underground Lestallum into the streets above it. Arka and Garou are forced to move and evade the air attack. Garou later realizes that Erca has counteracted her technique by attacking from all directions. He admitted it was time for them to reach the next level of battle.
"Come, Arka! This is our last chance to curse each other." Erca resolutely shouted to Arka.
"Come on, you haven't forgotten me, have you?"
Garou swapped the positions of the three of them so he held Erca and then slammed her first to the ground.
Arka tries to smash Erca's head with a kick, but the demon cuts off his own head to avoid the blow.
The body of that special grade demon grew two eyes and turned his arm into a sword before attacking the witches quickly. At the same time, Erca's head grew a separate body and stood behind the other half to activate Soul Multiplicity.
This time Erca combines the soul with a weak refusal to form one powerful human transfiguration using polymorphic soul Isomers.
[Polymorphic soul isomer : Utilizing Soul Multiplicity, the user combines multiple souls with a weak refusal to create one body. It manifests a very stable and very powerful transfiguration man who does not speak and has little chance of dying by himself.
Polymorphic soul isomers are attack specialists with explosive power behind their attacks. This was because the Multiplicity of souls took out many souls to make them. However, the trade-off for exceptional strength is a lack of endurance. Polymorphic Soul Isomers can be killed with one direct hit using soul energy.]
Garou uses his techniques to continue to provide a favorable position for his comrades against the enemy. He believed Erca's body contained most of the power but her head was Erca's real one because it used the Transfiguration.
Before defeating Erca's original self, Garou tries to defeat the Polymorphic Soul Isomer. However, to his great surprise, Garou was suddenly struck with an unusually powerful punch. The impact made Garou hit the entire floor of the office building. He crashed the other side into the road but managed to recover his balance.
The polymorphic soul isomer confronts a grade-1 mage and Garou's counterattack is to combine the stone with soul energy and swap places with it behind the opponent. To Garou's surprise, one hit was enough to kill the polymorphic soul Isomer. He guessed that his explosive power was the result of Erca expending multiple souls at once to make it happen. There were two more who faced him and Garou apologized before finishing them off.
While Erca, who had been freed from Garou's technique, decided to attack Arka. He uses a more ferocious version of Body Repel to attack but the witch dodges Erca's attack and drops her into the air. The demon retaliated by grabbing Arka's leg and slamming her to the ground. As the dust settles due to the accident, Erca tries to follow up on the attack. He was annoyed when he found Garou standing behind Arka.
Erca is surprised even the two Polymorphic Soul Isomers are not enough to stop or defeat Garou. He can't change Garou if he can't touch her and Onimaru will retaliate if Erca tries to play space expansion. It was too complicated for Erca to exclude Arka from the space barrier so she decided to take inspiration from her fight with Agung.
Arka and Garou were both shocked when Erca suddenly activated space expansion. They believe this action will usually be a suicide but Erca is ready to bet on an all or nothing space expansion in just 0.2 seconds.
[Erca's space expansion created a space where she automatically connected with the soul of anyone within it and was able to transfigure it at will.]
Garou acted quickly and activated the space expansion as bright as he had learned from Ino. Faster was the Ark that had already run towards Erca in an attempt to drive her away before the Transfiguration could be activated. However, Erca was the fastest of the three.
The two-step process of realizing one's innate space and the activation of their cursed technique was combined into one by Erca, who was resurrected through Black Flash.
Due to the activation of the expansion of space, Erca accidentally enters the subconscious of Onimaru. An innate space. He uses this opportunity to ask Onimaru if this is a safe place and inquire about his agreement with Arka. The demon prince remained silent but Erca retracted her tan tone to challenge Onimaru. Erca arrogantly claims Arka will die before Onimaru can exchange consciousness with her and tells the demon prince to remain silent and watch.
As his space expansion ended, Garou's left hand began to change shape. Arka turned to check on her fighting partner and Erca dropped him to the ground while turning her back. Garou quickly cut off his own hand but this made him vulnerable to the approaching special grade demons.
After activating the space expansion, the user's innate technique would become difficult to control. Erca realized this fact after the fight with Stardust. He instead attacked Garou with a powerful punch reinforced by a black flash to the stomach that made the gorilla stagger.
The 1st class magician survived the heavy blow. Garou instinctively concentrated all of her cursed energy to sustain the blow and minimize the damage, shocking Erca. The demon can activate the transfiguration again and plans to kill Garou with the next blow. Erca's focus is suddenly cut off when Garou's necklace falls to the ground and opens a small picture frame containing a photo of Ino and her mother.
When his opponent was distracted, Garou used Erca's hand to clap and activate his technique. Garou instantly swapped places with Arka, who attacked Erca's face with another black glint.
Garou fainted and looked at the rest of her hand while thinking that: "For a second, I touched her hand. I'm so lucky to still be alive after that reckless act."
Ready to finish the fight alone, Arka looks back at Garou and thanks her for all the help.
Wounded severely, Erca creates a polymorphic Soul Isomer to hold Arka. Erca admits the gorilla witch was a big deal for her until the end. Despite her dwindling condition, Erca was sure she had discovered the true essence of her soul from the previous exchange. Arka defeats the Polymorphic Soul Isomer and Erca evolves into its final stage, emerging from its cocoon in a sense. Erca activated her technique.
"Transfiguration: Instant Spirit Body from Distorted Murder!" The form of Erca transformed into a more created form to fight. "How about singing my birthday song, Arka?"
