As the Soul General descended from the sky, everyone was taken aback. They were not informed or prepared to fight such souls. Amaya screamed "Everyone use your Ice Burial: Chains of Moonshadow Attack together, this will weaken him and we'll get some time to prepare.
Everyone did as Amaya had said
"Hyōsō: Tsukikage no Kusari"
The icing chains wrapped around the soul and got him trapped. Then Arata Jumped and shouted "Shinmetsu no Saikōdan 神滅の最煌断 { Divine Annihilation }".The trapped soul general started screeching with immense pain. The sound of the soul general was heard till the Frost City. All the souls rushed to attack on Arata. The Divine Annihilation was a release of divine Seiki on the evil soul to erase the corrupt soul's existence. Haruko ran and took a stance behind Arata and made an Ice barrier to prevent souls from stopping Arata's attacks.
To support Arata's stance, all the defenders started firing Reikakuha: Yami Dangan 霊核破:闇弾丸 { Core-Breaker: Dark Bullet} on the souls to slow them down. Amaya commanded all the rushers "Make a defensive frontline in front of Arata and use your Zanka no Ukenagashi 残火の受け流し {Ember Parry} to burn down those souls. The Divine Annihilation required a lot of Seiki, in an enormous amount, which Arata did not possess, he had already used up most of his energy in the fight before the soul general entered the battlefield. His stamina ended up being used very quickly, because Divine Annihilation required massive amount of Seiki in consecutive times. The Seiki depleted completely even before he could kill the Soul General, he ended up using his vital Seiki which was required for his oxygen intake and blood circulation. The suddenly fainted and fell to the ground without completing the Divine Annihilation attack.
The Soul General got a chance to escape the Ice Chains of Moonlight, and he used that chance very wisely. He showed that he is Annihilated and fell down. As soon as the Ice chains loosened upon him, he escaped and jumped into Arata's body within a glimpse and took full control of his body. As soon as he took control he released a surge of Seiki and started controlling the body functions. The body's color started turning pale white and eyes turned red, just like Akane's body. He used an attack that none had faced before. He chanted "Kuroshinsei: Jibun o Kurau 黒神声:自分を喰らう {Black Divine Voice: Devour Thyself }
The attack gave some unique effects. An effect that nobody could handle, that was, Soul Collapse. Which meant that all nearby souls are shattered or corrupted. Everyone got blown away by the Seiki surge and by the time some of the soul squadrons got back up to face the soul general, Arata attacked again and wrecked the soul out of everyone's body.
Wrecking the soul doesn't mean dying, the body dies because the soul isn't in the body anymore. The soul general wrecked the souls out of every alive person on the battle field, except for Amaya and Haruko. They barely survived behind their horses. Before they could understand what was happening, the Soul General exited Arata's body. And before he could kill Arata and escape back into their realm, Amaya used the final ounce of her Seiki to attempt to use a temporary seal to trap the soul general and Arata.
That very moment Amaya felt that a feeling raised in her heart for Arata. Amaya didn't feel that her seal would work, but it did!
