For the first time being mentioned by Luna - The Golden Knight works directly below the authority of Aetheria in Volume 2, Chapter 10. Ritualists usually play with their death and life for each time they start the rituals.
This is caused by the principles and nature of their power - the granted power from The Restricted Forces.
In the Aurorize System of Energy, the natural elements like fire, water, wind… light and dark are allowed to exist - because they are a part of building up this great realm years ago. And "mana" represents the unit measuring the level and density of those elements, on the contrary, Aura is the product of living creatures by consuming the energy and extracting them to their own power.
And those are some of the officially allowed existences of energy among the Middle Realm - where living creatures live. On the other hand, Helheim - Hell and Abyss contained, doesn't allow that kind of power in its own lands. Also Heaven, the realm reigning over the seven layers of skies above Middle Realm, has its own kind of power. This is the Rule of The World due to the separation among this realm at the end of the Age of Chaos.
So which kind of energy and power stayed behind the strange spells of Loye - The Stellar Grand Sage of Wisdom, and Aetheria - The Diamond Knight? They all came from outer space, where the Rules of Aurorize can't reach. They were allowed to exist, yet, that story was billion years ago already - a long bygone journey of history.
And they were all called by one and only one term in this current era, the gleamy interstellar streams among the galaxies - Arcane Force. Long ago, when the Rules were nothing but the edge in theory to distinguish Aurorize, was the imperfect three-layered realm divided haphazardly, the flows of Arcane had already taken their places.
And after years, mythical creatures, the great strong and the incredible existence were struggling, fighting and finally landing their feet on the apex of the world. Some of them mastered the basic elements of Aurorize to the level of calamity, some of them chose to unlock the final limit of their physique and some of them stepped on those paths - The Paths of Outer Forces.
Then, after many years again, the Volition of Aurorize made a decision that greatly affected the entire world years later - The Paths of Gods. Since that moment, the line between Authority and Ability was finally drawn by those thousands of silhouettes. There were many ways to achieve the crown of God Authority, as usual, there was always a difference among them.
For those who broke through the final chain of mortality and pursued the ultimate divinity of Aurorize, they were praised as the Mighties of Orders - binding themselves to the existence of the entire realm Aurorize.
A part of them chose to descend to Hell and The Mysterious Depth or even ascend to Heaven to find their own divinity all along the greatness of creation.
And the rest of them chose to leave behind their own lands and enter the space of sparkling celestial bodies, gleamy stars, trailing comets and the great galaxies.
No one was allowed to archive their story under any kind of language. Because they all went beyond the existence of morality, only them alone, no one will be able to remember that there were The Great Ones, who achieved the highest crown of the earth years ago.
The agony even became worse when "them" decided to invade Aurorize, the developing realm, before it can thrive to a perfect world. No one knew their nature, name or purposes except The Great Ones. And they call those entities with the appellation of The Chaotic Star Devourers.
That war wiped out all the creatures below Demi-God level to nothing but corpses thrown aside. The sky was shattered apart, dyed in the crimson color of doom and despair for the entire era after. The connections between three dimensions were also broken beneath the devastation of that massacre - leaving no home for souls to rest after death. Following it, The Circle of Reincarnation was also damaged to six imperfect fragments - totally disappeared from other's sight.
Let's start from this point, after witnessing the entire deleted flows of history, what do you think about the relation between Arcane Force and Aurorize?
The answer is both enemies and comrade-in-arms. It's weird, isn't it?
The Chaotic Star Devourers were the entities born among the Arcane Power, they seeked for the end of their evolution by eating all the celestial bodies they found. And that's why Aurorize was targeted, when among the entire hazy galaxy, it's only the unique realm with life blooming.
Andrazyvalis, the name of that young galaxy containing Aurorize years ago, was nothing but a dead galaxy. Different from others, Andrazyvalis was created by the collision of not two but three great-size galaxies.
Can you imagine the scale of that event? Three galaxies, with the diameter of over millions of light years units in our measure, collided into each other and left the great vestige at a remote corner of the universe. With that back story, wasn't it clearly a charm when those Star Devourers witnessed a unique sprout of life thriving through the ashes of devastation?
And beneath their watch and the skies of Aurorize, there were thousands of "idiots" who chose to stand up steadily and point their blades of fighting spirit through the gap seemingly infinite between them and the Star Devourers.
Since that moment, the entire legion of five thousand nine hundred and eighty three maniacs were deified within the divine light pillars descending from the shattered skies - beginning the first Blank Era in the flow of time in Aurorize.
The overview of that battle can't be told by me to you individually, the tails must be narrated by no one else but those of great knowledge. Yet, it had to be a great war of blood and corpses I can tell.
And now, guess which possibility was able to be real during that war - for the Arcane Force to be accepted in Aurorize after that erased era and another billion years of regeneration?
It began in the day that was still red as usual, beneath the broken skies and shattered earth, those five thousand nine hundred and eighty three Great Ones were taken down half. And those Star Devourers were still able to at least kill them all slowly but surely, then continued their own works later, in spite of their total damage.
It's such bad news that Aurorize's World Authority wasn't perfect, which means the more Gods granted themselves to the world, the more times that limited power had to be divided eventually to them. Yes, they can group and beat a Star Devourer, yet, their opponents could do the same, but even better.
Despite the same source of power of Aurorize Gods, they were still unable to be united perfectly. On the contrary, Star Devourers were even born in Arcane Force, their compatibility was obviously better than The Great Ones. It's a shame to admit, but the main reason that kept them half alive was because of the other Gods.
As I said, besides the Gods bound to Aurorize's World Authority, there were also many Great Ones who chose to achieve their own divinity by immersing in the greatness of the creation throughout three dimensions of the world.
Divine Force - The power of divinity that a part of them learnt on their own Paths of God was also the main power used to fight against those Star Devourers. The blazing flame, the ponderous water, the destructive winds, the wrath of earth, the combination of light and dark… everything can be the model for them to dig in for the greatness of creation.
Yet, a wheel can't roll forever, an oil lamp can't be lightened endlessly and none of them was able to prop that destruction up all along. They failed and again half of them were also taken down after the third wave.
And this was the true turning point for the answer that I've been walking you all around to lengthen this conversation - The Return of The Arcane Gods.
As I said, a part of the original group of ten thousand guys left their own places to enter the Realm of Dead Stars and Galaxies - Andrazyvalis. They watched, they observed and they immersed into the flows of Arcane Force years after years.
Consequently, the knowledge of countless years flowing through galaxies were carved a part into their mind and might.
With their support, the Legion of Gods was finally successful in eliminating all the Star Devourers. Yet, if it's that easy, the karmic bond between Aurorize and Arcane Force shouldn't be that serious.
Two thirds of the Arcane Gods, that's the cost of the victory of Aurorize against the Outer Forces. That's enough for the Karmic Debt owned by Aurorize far too great. The strings of karmic bonds in the third layer of causality were made since that day. So, even if Aurorize wanted to eliminate all the roads leading to Arcane Force in itself nowadays, it just couldn't do anything. This binding debt will last forever until this realm comes to its very end, as a reminder to the world that its current development was built up from the corpses and sacrifices of many lives.
And this is the end of the forgotten tale belonging to that bygone era. The time for History class has ended, let's move on to the next part.
Shall we start the lessons about Ritualists right now? I mean… about their power allowed in this era of recession.
The first thing we can determine about their power is their so-called term - Ritualists, which means their power comes from the rituals they make. The rituals require at least an incantation made of terms to let the Arcane Power flow through themselves for capability of casting arcane spells.
Besides that requirement of the most basic thing, they can also strengthen their spells by drawing some arcane magic circles, or setting up supporting items around or even sacrificing something during the process. Unfortunately, Aetheria's "sensei" didn't teach him anything but chanting the terms in order, it seems like she was waiting for a "chance."
Now, let's start with what he just did in the last chapter:
"Astral Rage" (2) - This term is a Normal Term giving him 25% damage in maximum output due to the second stage it's marked right next to, also presenting for the two added ritual sigils.
A Special Term was also intertwined purposely: "Adomeus"
Continuing with: "Twilight" (1) - which gave him 15% range of the spell, one ritual sigil was added.
Again, another Special Term in purpose: "Platinus"
"Moonlight" (1) - 15% damage was added, also a ritual sigil indeed.
A Special Term intertwined: "Eronimus"
"Sun and Moon" - This is a Composite Term, which allowed him to lengthen the incantation while not to mess up with the "special order" of terms - 100% damage explosive damage and 50% total damage (40 x 0.5 = 20% extra so far). It also reset all the ritual sigil.
"Astral Rage" (2) - This term was repeated and due to the core principles, its power had to be reduced half, which means 12.5% damage was added.
Following up: "Endless Night" - another Composite Term giving him 20% damage and 15% range.
"Twilight" - Repeated term, half reduced, it added 7.5% range of the spell.
"Parademyk" - As usual, another Special Term was added right after that to keep the chant in "order."
"Moonlight" - Half reduced, 7.5% damage.
And to end the incantation, Aetheria performed the 10-grade Special Term: "Andrazyvalis"
So actually he had 100% damage and 37.5% range buff for the base. Ending up with Andrazyvalis, the full incantation was made, adding another 100% damage in maximum output.
And here is the explanation of the "special order" that I mentioned.
It must be formed by the intertwined combination between one Normal and one Special Term until the incantation ends. If the ritualists can obey this rule, their final output will be raised for 200% more damage.
*The Special and Composite Terms can't be chanted repeatedly like Normal Terms.
*The Special Terms must be set as the end of the incantation - the last term determines the kind of spells they cast.
*All percentage amplifications scale only within the user's output capacity and cannot exceed their inherent limit.
*Composite Terms can be added to any place in the chanting order – can be used to continue the incantation with a Normal Term without adding a Special Term to activate the Intertwined Power.
*Special Terms must be separated by at least one Normal Term.
Total chants allowed = Ritual Grade (Grade X = X chants maximum)
→ Can be shortened but reduces output efficiency
Grade is determined by Ritual Sigils, if the Sigils > Grade
→ each gives a 10% maximum output increase.
Interweaving Normal + Special Terms mid-incantation
→ Increases pressure, cost, and instability
All of those are the rules we should know to understand what Aetheria did certainly for the power. The grades of the rituals are determined by the last term - Special Term. In this case, Aetheria has already reset his ritual sigils by the term "Sun and Moon" after chanting four sigils in total. Now the grade is determined by the sigils before reset, even if he added more Normal Terms, the grade wouldn't change - which means the ritual is grade 4. Yet, the final Special Term he chanted was "Andrazyvalis," the 10-grade term.
The efficiency of the ritual spell is determined by the function: RC (Ritual Capacity) / TA (Term Authority). RC stands for the counted ritual sigils and TA is the grade of the last Special Term in the incantation.
In this case, it's 4/10, which means equally 40% efficiency.
Through all the process, 400% total maximum output remained only 160% at the end. Yet, the true purpose of that action was about the "special power" of the attack.
The Andrazyvalis term granted him the power of thousands of cosmic beams, this power can bypass all the protection below the Demi-God level no matter in any condition. Also, its explosive power is the strongest in all the Special Terms he has so far.
And here is the explanation for some normal mistakes in defining the "explosive power."
Extra explosive power being added to the spell, it's a fact, yet, it doesn't mean that Aetheria has free 100% energy out of nowhere to buff his strike. "Sun and Moon" sets the final 100% damage from the spell to be released immediately instead of "normally." This mechanism is important to be understood, remember that energy can't be generated out of nowhere, there's only ways to make it seem like "more powerful," not more energy.
Also, there's a detail that I have to say. Andrazyvalis has two kinds of attack, the first one is concentrating everything into one beam and piercing everything in the way absolutely. The second type was what Aetheria performed - thousands of cosmic beams. This kind of execution is splitting the beam into a plenty of much smaller ones, also reducing the damage and Arcane Force cost for 90% of each strike.
This second way allows the user to drain as much Arcane Force as they can and eventually split it to many cosmic beams. With the special trait bypassing all the protection below Demi-God level - except Arcane Power. It's actually a bombastic rain of beams ready to blow away anything without a chance for enemies to block. In short, the first style destroys one target, the second one destroys all the terrains.
*Vroom* - The space is bent and all the shields are twisted each time a beam passes through, this is the biggest meeting gift Aetheria especially prepares for The Pontiff.
Among the dust, the scream pierces through the sky. Many hired hitmen were torn beneath the shockwave of those strikes, they ran, they hid, they did all the things they could but hopelessly being killed guy by guy.
"Did he just come here alone?" - Reigning over the throne, The Pontiff carefreely asks.
"Yes, my mighty, please grant me the honor to execute that heresy."
"Hold up." - He prevents the priest.
"I think… we should prepare for the true match." - He points to the sky.
"All for your glory."
At the destroyed field, a grinning nun with a massive mace is looking straight at Aetheria.
"How cruel you are? Don't you have a heart?"
*Smack* - They both rushed into each other, and then she got punched right at the face. The velocity coming from the fist instantly knocked her straight to the ground, yet, it's even stronger enough to have the reaction force lift her body straight up to the same height at the start while keeping moving forward.
Aetheria only walks away without a waste of time on giving her a glance, "You are not him, bruh."
*Smack* - Not getting hit, yet, getting blocked. A priest swiftly swings an axe directly toward his face, and as I said, it gets blocked by a dagger right after that.
A dagger? But where did it come from?
"Now, let's start our revenge." - A voice clangs from the sky and it slightly moves.
In the witness of injured hitmen and Holy Council members, the sky above them slightly gets opened as a can of food. And inside that space weaved room, four hundred thousand knights instantly jump down as the true calamity upon the world.
"All of them? How?" - One of the Bishops swiftly shoots a barrage of spells toward his enemies.
*Vroom* - He witnessed them get bent and dragged in another direction. As a merry go round, those beams rotated once, twice, thrice and shot back to their owner with the tenfold acceleration each tick passed.
"Hold still the formation!"
*Clash* - Three *knights instantly supported that Bishop with an Aura shield, buying him time to cast another spell.
*These knights were secretly trained since birth, so literally in their eyes always shine a loyalty to The Holy Council. In other words, they are the best meat shields and puppets for The Holy Council nowadays.
Yet, does it matter? - "Nah, mind controlled puppet?"
A guy with medium-length black hair instantly stays in front of them without a signal before.
*Splash* - A second after, ten wounds are on their bodies already.
"I wonder what a Bishop would do when he's forced to face an overwhelming enemy. Pray?" - Accompanying the arrogant question, his hands have already broken two arms of the Bishop right straight.
"Or beg for live?"
*Crack* - The sounds of broken joints and bones, the scream clangs over the empty sky above.
"Oh sorry, did I just put too much force on you?"
A wicked grin, "So sorry~"
*Crack - Splash* - The Bishop's arms are instantly uprooted directly without any mercy in those eyes.
"Instead of goofing around as a deadass, it's better that you actually do something useful with your power." - Aetheria walks through his site and drops a mission.
"Oh c'mon, you are the one who needs my help by the way. Stay in the correct manner." - Still that mocking voice, he replies.
"Then go back to your Clan and end the mission, I allow you to."
This time, he has to shut up already. Helping Aetheria is the mission that "he" directly ordered in the highest rank.
This kind of juicy bait, how can I even reject it? He smiles.
"Where are you going?" - He instantly rotates himself.
At the rushing hammer priest to Aetheria, he grabs that face and lifts the whole enemy up as a ragdoll.
"Not a wise choice." - Following the crack sound, the target's neck has already broken apart.
"So pathetic." - Another guy gets grabbed while he's on the same purpose as the previous one.
"I said, f* off!" - He throws that guy backward, hitting three rushing random guys.
Those eyes instantly stay on a knight in full metal armor, a greatsword within. He is covered by the madness of destruction, the sense that threatens all the existences are currently right at this battlefield.
"Get out of my way. I need to kill that guy."
"Oh chill, chill, chill." - He disappears without a trace.
And stays right behind the knight as an assassin. Both of them really moved fast, a full swinged slash was thrown straight at his head, yet, he dodged it.
Also, at the same time, his right hand has already laid on the armor of the knight.
"Get out!" - In the madness, he swings the greatsword again, aiming for a powerful slash.
*Whirr* - Following the sound of soft winds is the bombastic crash sound of the blade destroying the surface around.
"Don't be that surprised." - Again, he has stayed right behind that mad guy.
*Swish* - The same thing just happened. He swung the sword and got sent right back five steps for no reason.
"Wha–"
*Smack* - The skull of a hitman was shot straight to his face. Surely, his opponent did it. Of course, the knight has been totally rage baited.
"Guarhhh!" - He rushes toward the task performer as a beast without any plan.
*Whirr* - Again, the same phenomenon just occurred. Yet, this time, instead of being able to move around, the knight has already been locked inside a thin frame of glasses.
"Get baited thrice in a minute, wild." - He strokes his hair and leisurely approaches that "frozen" guy.
His right fist slightly puts on the heart position, "Good luck."
*Fshh* - Five silhouettes of him instantly rush through him, to the rear of the knight without any damage being done. Each of them shows a different but still logically related to the caster, who is still standing. Seems like they all present for each moment of a movement.
*Crack* - The frame instantly gets broken with the heart position as the picked starting point. The impact instantly spreads out through all the frame as true damage - shocking his heart directly with the destruction left over.
As usual, when the impact is launched, the velocity must work. That damaged opponent instantly knocked backward and upward at the same time.
At the position of the fifth silhouette that's still lingering, that guy surely falls right at that coordinate. Without any signal, he instantly performs the same movement, posture and movement as that silhouette.
He takes out a light knife and stabs it through the pharynx, the blood overflows madly.
Continuously, the knight is again frozen inside the frame mid-air. This phenomenon instantly kept him floating in the air at the same height, yet, the object is no longer a body, it's a thin glass frame right now.
Which means, he can actually perform it again. A swing strike and that guy is sent flying to the right side, the corpse of the Bishop. When the frame got broken, the dagger already stayed inside the right hand of his, this is its special feature.
He also throws it straight at the knight's head, yet, this time nothing happens.
Doesn't matter at all. At the tenth silhouette, he instantly appears right there with a heavy punch bursting with 120% maximum output via Ignite.
*Splash* - Don't want to make his rightfist dirty, he didn't stab through that guy's belly. Yet, only that released pressure within, a hole was made on that knight without anything inside. Of course, even if the armor and flesh were blown away, how could the viscera stay soft and sound?
"Weak as hell." - He strokes his hair again, with a smirk he turns away for the second prey.
And then, he just saw something special.
*Vsh* - "Yo, what do we have here?"
He teleports right behind Kura, who just wiped out all the hitmen and priests at his side.
"Oh, alliance?"
"Sure buddy." - His eyes slightly stop at the right fingers of Kura, where the chains are bound to.
"Specialist?"
"Yes." - Kura admits.
"What are you doing right here?"
"Nah, nothing actually. Just take a look at Cylian."
"Alright, I think we should continue this conversation later." - Kura proposes.
"Of course, I'm Yone, nice to meet you." - He disappears.
"I'm Kura, nice to meet you too." - He rushes toward that silhouette.
*Crash* - Wrapping the neck of the enemy as snakes, he pulls that dude toward himself for a direct slam to the ground - crushing the skull totally. On the other side, Yone kicks away a priest at the rear of Kura like shooting a ball.
"Focus on the Bishops and Priests, I'll clear all the annoying brats." - He suggests.
Kura shoots three chains through five guys in a line, "Sure."
Soon, the Holy Council force also gets in line after all. The majority of them are still mature hitmen and high grade priests, surely they are able to fight back the Holy Knights force too.
The whole battlefield instantly is dyed in the countless combat trades, ability strikes and zones.
Luna boosts herself via Ignite and she has already taken down two guys with her sword. Other Aetheria's inferiorities also are doing well. Even though the quality of his army while compared to others' was such a shame. Yet, beneath the special power of his, which is called money, all his knights are now at the Golden Knights rank in power literally.
This reward is also impossible without the efforts of them in the hell training arc too, congratulation.
*Smack* - It's the random guy that asked Torun about the mana and Aura problem a month ago, he just throws a punch toward a mature hitman and knocks him out instantly.
"Fahhh!" - Youth is a gift, he acts like his adrenaline just got doubled for no reason, rushing to the enemies with the hand covered by his Aura and directly crashes them out.
This consequence was started from the process of training that they attempted before. You all must know that the path of Aura users is more difficult than mages. Without talent, mages can build up their power by knowledge and mastery of specific spells instead. Yet, without talent, perhaps throughout a full life, that person won't be able to sense his flow of Aura.
So let alone to achieve maximum output technique through Ignite in just two months like him.
If sensing the flow of Aura is a problem, Aetheria just needs to pay a little bit money to put them into a pool of special liquid - then bursting the energy inside that liquid into their veins. Beneath the continuous process of broken and repaired, their veins were able to sense and control the flows of energy better.
With that advantage and base, the six basic techniques of the Aura System were all taught. And this small victory of each individual from Aetheria's side is the most obvious evidence for their efforts.
Yet, the victory of the whole war isn't decided just by those small matches. Another high rank priest has already activated the spells. The warm light slightly flows through the army of the Holy Council, and the blessings have been given.
"Not good." - Luna shouts out to the knights, those who are standing near that side.
Following her voice, the countless beams are shot toward the field.
*Clash* - Some of them instantly activated Guard technique and survived through that storm of strikes, yet, there were still some of the knights taken down mercilessly.
Thankfully, their wounds aren't too serious, which means the power of money is still available on them.
*Crack* - Crushing the potion in hands, their wounds and damaged traces were all eliminated. Consequently, they all come back as if there's no problem at all.
"Healing potion, a bunch of high rank healing potions? What the f–"
When the priest was being shocked, a small blood orb had already stayed right behind his head.
*Splash* - Not only the orb, but also the head of that guy exploded into nothing. Of course, it's Torun, our semi-mage Aura user.
He points that finger toward the strongest guy standing near his place, "Don't bother the weak, strong must swing the sword to the strong, right?"
"You are not strong."
*Splash* - Another explosion occurred, however, the second Bishop took no damage at all.
"Bet."
On another side of the battlefield, Hazen and Luker are clashing directly with two elite knights of the Holy Council and the third Bishop.
"You're good?" - Swinging his blood spear, Luker parried thrice and asked.
*Clash* - Same thing, Hazen parried one strike and took down two fingers of the elite knight, "Still good."
*Fshh* - Yet, beneath the boosts of the Bishop, all the wounds they damaged are all recovered in a blink.
"For you two heresies, God will forgive for all your guilt." - Standard voice, the Bishop slightly propagandizes.
"Oh c'mon, that ass sleepy voice again?" - Hazen rejects.
"A heresy calls others heresies, wild." - Bypassing the knights, the spear has already approached that neck.
"I have the protection of Holy Spirits, you fools."
*Crack* - "Well, actually I have the power of Lady Blood by the way."
The spear of his has the power of rejecting protection, this match is going to be easy obviously.
Until… that guy joined.
*Crack* - The ground beneath his feet is crushed into pieces and fragments that are no longer integrity. He has a height of 3.5 meters, the wide shoulders and ground-touching long arms. The worn black outfit of his is even revealing the severity of the wars that he survived through. Upon those hands, the dark metal claws of five slightly cuts through the surface of the ground as slashing a thin paper.
"You… my feast… thanks…"
Luker hits Hazen with his elbow and murmurs, "Hey, did he just escape the rehabilitation center?"
Murmuring, "No one knows dude, just ask him."
"Nah, f* it. I swear my bloody corpses are prettier than this dude."
*Crack* - His head titles aside, but the neck seems to get broken by that movement. The dried lips slightly move and he unconsciously bits his dark nails while humming something.
"Blood… meat… my feast."
"Blood… flesh… final rest."
"Blood… Dinner!"
"Blood. Eat!"
"Blood. Eat!"
"Blood. Eat!"
…
"I swear this guy just escaped from the mental asylum." - Luker looks at Hazen.
"Should we call someone in charge of this field?"
"No idea." - Luker actually has no idea.
*Swish* - Jokes are done, now it's time for the fight. That entity swings the claws of slaughtering toward Luker, of course, he parries it just right after that action.
*Clash* - Hazen parries one knight's slash and dodges the second one in order to bypass all the meat shields - aiming straight to the Bishop.
With a smirk, that white dressed guy glances at him as an ant.
*Clash* - The alarm instantly popped up in his mind while rushing to the destination. Hazen instantly parried those claws coming from the tall and gangly guy, non-stop, the Bishop event sent him a gift of ten spells for lunch.
"No thanks you assh*le." - Deflecting half and taking half, Hazen slightly recovers his burnt left arm inside the flows of Aura, Amplification element within.
"Alright, let's stir up this too silent pool of mud." - Yone rushes toward the group of hitmen offending five knights.
"Dooo–cha~"
He grabs one and throws that guy to another one, negating them permanently beneath the crushing force. Dodging and countering one guy and leaving a jawless face for that dude mercilessly.
*Smack* - He parried a strike and stabbed the knife through the head of the fourth hitman, freezing him in the frame. Continuously, he grabbed that frame then threw to the fifth one right behind him.
*Crack* - Even though there's only one framed object, Yone can still share the damage by pushing another object right at the framed one. The rest is performing a kick toward them all and activating the ability.
*Fsh* - At the third silhouette, his dagger has already come back to the right hand of his, then hit right at the head of the sixth guy.
*Splash* - The 343 meter per second speed of sound was too slow to make his second strike be heard clearly by the knights. The seventh guy was taken down with the same strike after Yone threw his dagger away intentionally.
"Don't be careless, he could take you down at that moment." - Yone points to the blue-haired guy.
"Yes sir!"
"I pray–"
*Smack* - Fifteenth silhouette, Yone kicks away that priest's head as a ball.
"Don't let them cast or pray anything, especially the priests, don't let them gather together." - He leaves a guide and teleports to another side to help.
"Hey hey, too fast right here." - Surprisingly, there's even a guy catched up with him while dragging him back with such an iron claw.
*Whirr* - Yet, he still got hit away softly by the special ability of Yone, "Get out boy."
*Crack* - Smashing one guy's head down to the ground, he again rushed away as a bullet.
"I said you're too fast right here dude." - Still that tight grab as claws, he grabbed the left shoulder of Yone and threw him to another direction.
*Smack* - "Just get out of my way bro."
Yone instantly came back with a swift strike toward the face of the opponent, also threw him away as fast as a bullet.
The right hand of that dude again points toward Yone as two previous tries.
"I see, this gap..." - Yone gazes at the annoying guy chasing him.
*Vsh* - He disappears and stays right behind that guy immediately.
"Your ability may relate to speed synchronization, right?'
*Crack* - The cracking sound of his spine, that guy was hit away as a ragdoll by just one strike. Non-stop, Yone keeps moving on his own with the support of his ability. For each time his movement matches the set action of a silhouette, his speed is boosted 10 more percent on the scale of the starting speed. And in the first 100 meters, nine thousand eight hundred and fifty one actions were completely and perfectly done as planned.
Which means, his speed was set at 98610% as usual, which means 986.1 times faster. The maximum speed that Yone performed was 300 meters per second.
At this point, you all might be disappointed and wonder about this number. Don't worry, the maximum speed of others is counted with the Aura Shifting Technique or at least Aura Boosting Technique as what Savan did to reach the speed of mach 300 at the beginning of the fight with Loye.
The Ability of Yone only lets him start with the pure speed and agility, Aura impact is excluded from this calculation. After a small calculation, we should have the number of mach 862.47 right now. The more incredible thing is the total time of this acceleration was just about a second.
For more information, this total speed boost is only counted after the set amount of silhouettes are completely done without mistake. So basically, if Yone got disturbed or even damaged leading to a small mistake in performing the planned movements, he would face the penalty as a trade off. Moreover, the more frames left, the higher the penalty came.
This mechanism is called Frame Stacks: Speed Acceleration, it's a part of his full Ability power. The name of the power when he baited the first knight (berserker) is Frame Counter and the dagger's one is Forced Frame. Keep these things in mind, because he'll face his deadass natural enemy.
Within the first strike, Yone has already defined the "value" of the road block. Frame Skipping is the power that allows him to set the "silhouettes" or "images" to "set an action" that he "will be able to" do in future. And when he reactivates it again, the whole process leading to that action is deleted and the strike is able to launch without any delay with set damage as his maximum output.
This ability called Frame Skipping can be activated in two ways, and during the Speed Acceleration effect, it costs him one "image" each time he sets the action no matter if he'll do it or not. Consequently, his total speed will be reduced 0.1x per image he sets until the boost is gone. Yet, it's still worth itself.
Aiming straight at the air that the location the opponent will fall to, an image has been set. After a tick, Yone has already kicked away the road block out of the battlefield, it's powerful enough to send him flying away without a chance to block or even come back the fight after.
Nevertheless, the speed boost of Speed Acceleration only be available when he's moving, which means there's no time more than one tick for Yone to stop. He must keep moving as a bullet on the battlefield until his Aura stock exhausts.
Yes, Frame Stacks: Speed Acceleration is a non-stop Aura consuming process. It does boost the user to an incredible level of speed, but it also requires an equal amount of Aura to fill up the "hole" of the action.
Listen, do you all still remember the part where I said "base speed" was the starting speed of the Speed Acceleration? That's the problem, this technique only allows him to "cheat" the maximum speed he can reach via the specific requirements, but it doesn't give him the energy to do it.
It's like Ignite, which allows the Aura users to consume more Aura to launch a 120% maximum output strike. Speed Acceleration also requires an amount of Aura to maintain the boosted speed after the user successfully completes all the requirements. On the other hand, Speed Acceleration also consumes a specific amount of Aura to maintain the "power to cheat" on the boosted speed of Yone.
In short, the more he moves, the more his energy is drained.
*Penalty: No matter in which condition, if his Aura reaches to the bottom without any last drop while Yone's using his Ability. His "Frame Manipulation" power will be sealed for up to 24 hours. And the frame stack applied on him will be counted ⅔ in any case, no exception.
And that's still a problem belonging nothing to the current event, so let's move on to his massacre real quick. After a leap, Yone has already clashed himself into three guys in a line and crushed them into flesh and blood. He keeps going on his way, one, two, then three times he has already run around the battlefield to take down at least more than fifty priests without harming any alliance. So how about the hitmen? He doesn't care about them literally, he bets that they're strong enough to help Aetheria's force grow faster through fights.
*Clash* - On Luker's side, he's still swinging his spear swiftly to parry every kind of attack from the monster standing still on the field. To be honest, after a month of special training, he can't even make sure that he'll win this fight individually at all. If you just glanced through the situation without a patient gaze, you might think that they are at the same level.
Yet, besides all the fluent movements, Luker's body is tolerating the incredible pressure each time he blocks those swift claws. They are fast, yes, but also heavy as all, a deadly combo.
"O the pathetic heresy, repent for your sinful soul belongs not to this grave Cathedral." - He raises his staff over the head and the holy light spreads out as a veil lapping the space around.
"It grates on my ears, haven't you brushed your teeth?"
*Clang* - "This untalented dude has nothing but experience."
"So, prepare yourself." - Hazen, after deflecting the beams into other directions, declared.
Lancer's Technique: Lesson 3 (upgraded) - Sky Breaker. A crack sound clangs around in its high-pitched notes and the monster is knocked back two steps indeed. Luker also approaches it with a sharp blade swinging in the air.
*Clash* - Of course, it's parried in the middle. Yet, the true strikes are coming from Hazen. He has two kinds of sword styles, the first one was what we admired during the fights at the Beyonder's Vestige. Hazen also admitted that he can't perform the same liberated sword style like that anymore. It's just like a unique technique born for "that guy."
And the second style is his own sword technique, which was used to show off the royal honor and superiority through each movement - Royal Sword Style: Larizupi.
His old realm had mana and Aura too, it's kind of more advanced than Luker's. Yet, it isn't the reason for him to individually and firmly defend the entire stronghold beneath the attacks of Lesser Void Worms and Void Walkers. Even though the sword he's holding is no longer the legendary relic that's able to shine up the whole sky, his sense is still the same as the day he died.
A phantom is hiding and the blade is approaching.
*Splash* - A deep wound stretched by the blade slightly revealed itself on that monster's neck. Non-stop, it's moving.
*Clash* - Yet, the blade is still stopped by the protection of the Holy Shield.
"You bastard!" - The Bishop instantly throws three light beams to get him away.
*Clash* - Three continuous sounds respectively clang out. Within one strike, Hazen has already deflected those strikes onto the ground.
Three half light speed strikes were just deflected? He curses the damn situation that he's facing. The Bishop swiftly chants more spells just in case–
*Clash* - Again, still that unforeseeable strike has been stopped right before it can cut through anything of that Bishop. He smirks, his face is obviously carved the sentence of "If only you just can catch me."
How idiot he is. Hazen again swings his sword, yet, this time it is to that monster instead. On the contrary, Luker also approaches the Bishop with the spinning spear in the right hand.
*Clash* - Hazen instantly deflects the claws of that monster away right before it can stop Luker in any chance.
As predicted, this is a puppet. He defines the nature of the enemy.
*Splash* - At the same time, the spear has already pierced through the Bishop's heart.
"H… How!? It's the Holy Protection that I–"
The spear even bursts the whole heart into pieces, roughly, "That dialogue is too old already, change the better one next time."
*Splash* - Luker catches the spinning spear again, then he instantly releases an explosive strike through Lesson 3: Rotation at the same spot. Consequently, beneath that destruction, the Bishop has nothing left yet a perfect hole at his heart location.
*Crack* - The crack sounds and the monster falls down. Hazen didn't do anything after deflecting two more strikes from that monster, it seems like they have the relation.
"This Bishop…"
"It's just a puppet." - Hazen confirms.
"Should we move to another field to help others?"
*Vsh* - A fast object moved through their side like a bullet in the air.
"What's wrong with him duh? It's been the fifth time he completes the whole lap." - Luker recalls his spear and strokes his hair as usual.
Hazen doesn't care about that action, he rejects the previous option, "I don't think we need to do it."
He points to the west and east sides of the battlefield, "They did it already."
The third Bishop and two more knights, five hitmen, were taken down by Kura with his chains. Of course, Torun also blew away another Bishop besides ten hitmen at the nearby place.
Others are doing really well. Priests can cast spells, yet, they can't shoot them at all. The inferiorities of Aetheria teamed up perfectly. Two guys play the role of road blocks, they have the fast speed enough to distract any movement of the opponents. While others turn by turn jump the enemies with the back up ready from the last dude guarding at their rear.
Even though they can be outnumbered really badly, yet, the epic items they have can easily build up an unshakable wall protecting them absolutely.
Oh, where do those epic items come from? C'mon man, look who's their superior.
*Whirr* - The energy bursts, he swiftly rotates himself for a heavy strike to the hip of his opponent. The Aura power reaches 120% right at that moment.
*Crack* - Maximum Output Technique, he launched the hardest strike ever in his life before. It's powerful enough to crack out the shield and the heavy armor of that elite hitman and blow him away.
"YES!" - He jumps and poses the victory posture.
"They're talented compared to the average power of normal knights, aren't they?"
Hazen kicks in, "Obviously, both me and you, none of us were this powerful after two months since the first time we heard about Aura."
Yes, the entire army of Aetheria just heard about Aura two months ago, unofficially mentioned by their superior sometimes. If we count from the day Torun and others explained about the Aura System in front of the entire army, they perhaps have learnt, trained and achieved all of those powers in just a month. It's crazy, isn't it?
This difference might be caused by the difference level of the realms that they, nevertheless, the main reason may come from the difference in the training condition. To be honest, the total budget Aetheria used just to thrive these guys can be large enough to maintain the whole stronghold of 10 million populations in a month without anyone receiving lack of support or cure.
Don't think it's just a waste of money. As I said, without talent, no one can step on the path of Aura users. Yet, these guys can still bloom their flowers after all, it's just enough to prove that this is a wise investigation. Also, it's been a month, it's still too soon to claim that they're not worth it. So, just let the time answer.
Side information, among these 400000 knights, there are only 8000 of them actually working under the authority of Aetheria. And of course, none of them have fallen down so far, while the total damage is 23000 guys killed by enemies already.
This difference is because of the quality of the entire faction. Even normal knights can join this purge and the quality of that tier is such a shame.
In spite of the fact that all of them have unlocked Aura, they just haven't maximized their power at all. This is the most obvious evidence of proving talent is important for this path. So, the majority of them only can defeat normal hitmen through battles, they can't do much. Meanwhile, Silver and Golden Knights are carrying the mission of watching the army. They must keep themselves available to back up anyone just in need.
Even though they're holding the field, they are still fighting in the playground of the Pontiff, so being careful is still better than carefree. Diamond Knights are the main force of this battlefield. They have enough power to fight and enough experience to withdraw effectively. Seventy percent of the total hitmen were taken down by them, indeed. Above them, the Holy Knights are currently doing nothing. It seems like they're waiting for something, except one guy.
He has a title of "Shipper," solely the exception on the Holy Knight Round Table. He was the guy who manipulated the sky and space to shift the entire army into this Cathedral without any trouble. He isn't counted as a Holy Knight, but more like their companion - the true freelancer.
His job is really easy, he just needs to run around and cover the injured ones inside the wrapped space veil to shift them to the set location for cure. Also, his Space Manipulation technique also allows him to distort the space structure for the shockwave blowing ahead. It's not as powerful as Space Breaker, yet, it's still enough to at least stun and knock back the enemies in three seconds.
"A bunch of sh*t." - A guy descends from the gate of light, he smirks while looking all around the battlefield.
*Bling* - Six more dudes just do the same at the same time, they're standing right next to him, eventually to both sides.
"Aren't you all waiting for us? Let's begin." - The bald guy proposes.
*Crackle* - "I think we should move already." - Phoenix advises.
"Of course." - Dragon stands up and wipes the dust on his pants arbitrarily.
*Splash* - Still on his way of wiping out all the road blocks potentially harming some of the army, Yone is non-stop rushing around the battlefield while mercilessly uprooting some cute heads everywhere the foot traces of his take place on.
*Clash* - All of a sudden, his fists punched straight toward a guy without any signal. Yone instantly dodges aside and again rushes away as a bullet, he has no time for that weird thing.
And while he's aiming to launch another punch.
*Clash* - The same thing just happened. He was again forced to hit that target but no one else.
"Alright, If you want to."
Frame Skipping - Stacked: Within one tick, Yone overwrote ten images at the same point. And right now, if he reactivates the ability again. A tenfold maximum output strike will be launched ahead suddenly. In other words, he will be able to thrust his entire arm through that guy without any challenge.
*Clash* - Yet, it seems like he just thought everything was that easy. Terribly, after paying a cost of 1x speed boost, all he received is hitting an unshakable mountain instead of blowing him away.
*Vsh* - Whatever, he needs to run first, in order to keep the Speed Acceleration available.
Impossible. He murmurs.
An ability that negates physical damage? Or even immunity to any kind of damage with specific conditions required? Yone keeps running away.
Until another lap is done, he wasted 10x of his speed boost just to launch another strike. Unfortunately, nothing changed, at all.
"Aren't you in a bit of a hurry?" - That guy asks.
"Quite, so get out." - Yone one more time launched a kick toward that dude and ran away with the cost of a 10x speed boost.
"You chose this path by the way."
His feet again touch the ground, Yone bursts himself forward with the total speed boost of 965x his base speed, he's been already.
For this step! At the moment that the gap between them was only ten meters left, Yone's right foot even popped up the entire impact frame scenes for its owner, nice and neat. All the space went blank while only his body stretched out the dark lines of blocked light. Forth then back, left then right, one and two then three rotations of the light source, they drew over him a sense of power before the strike landed itself.
After a leap, the world became normal as usual, yet, that guy was still moving. One, two and three, each time his feet landed on the ground, each time the space distorted itself just because of his movement.
Until the gap was only one meter left, the scene again turned to the impact frames with the flash lights bombing around.
Within this strike, he had already used all of his current images, which means, the entire 964x speed boost was already consumed. Yet, its benefit also gained him 964x in the maximum output as an equal trade (excluding the 1x base speed).
Nevertheless, this time Yone chose the starting point, the unit to boost, it is his pure physical strike with its maximum power. The reason for this choice is obviously about his durability. Yes, he has enough Aura for the 964 times stronger strike with maximum output, yet, his entire body will be blown away due to the incredible reaction force.
*Zttt* - Not the sound of lightning, but the sound of screaming winds. His fist before landing on that face, it stopped right at the air with the 0.001x speed in the slow motion mode in five seconds. Not too long to make viewers bored, yet, not too short to give them an unsatisfying watch.
Impact frames kicked in, they again spun around that fist to stretch a lot of dark lines contributing to the sense of depth in each scene. And then, the fist instantly got back its normal speed, just to stop again in the 0.001x slow motion mode right at that face. Another impact frame popped up for the last second before the strike successfully landed itself.
*Splash* - His right arm from the finger's tips to the entire right shoulder was torn apart as a sacrifice for that powerful attack.
*Rumble* - All of sudden, the entire ground around the Cathedral got shaken. This impact was incredibly overwhelming while compared to others' strikes. Yet, that guy still stands there as if nothing happened. Is he that strong?
A grin, "Ho, soka." (I see.)
Yone smiles, "Chikara o kintō ni bunsan sa seru?" (Distributing force evenly?)
"Kono jiin wa, tan'naru misekake no tame ni tate rareta wakede wa nakatta ndesu ne." - He strokes his hair with the regenerated right arm. (So, this temple wasn't built merely for the sake of appearances.)
"Sō iu koto ka… sō iu koto ka!!!" - He faces the sky above with a smile of victory, it seems like he has found the key. (Is that so!?)
Hazen's POV, "What is going on with that guy?"
Luker shrugs, no comment at all.
"I know nothing about what you just said." - He shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head.
"It doesn't matter at all!"
He raises his finger ahead, "Because your death has been decided."
"Oh ho? Shall, we?"
You still remember the moment that I explained how he got a 985.1x speed boost, don't you? The unit used was "tick," which means each time his brain can load, define and be aware of the world around him. Right now, he even divides the tick tenfold for this Speed Acceleration. Which means, 9851x speed boost has been added.
Isn't it?
Nah, with the greed lingering, Yone even set it all around the whole perimeter of this Cathedral. Which means he has set the entire process all along 950 meters. Let's do some easy math. The amount of 9851 images were completed in a 100 meters gap within a second, which means the ratio among them is 1 : 9.5 and the tick is shortened tenfold, which changes the ratio to 1 : 95 instead.
Which means… 93585.5x is the total multiplier of his base speed after completing this process, equally, Mach 81853.2 in total. At this point, the number is too nonsense to keep the calculation. Within this speed, just imagine that he can complete a trip all around the world in exactly 1.6 seconds. Isn't it amazing?
Yet, with this speed, the pressure applying on him is really enormous. Even if he can wrap himself in Guard maximum output after finishing the Speed Acceleration process, his body will be torn apart immediately.
So, it's time for him to pull out one of the apexes of Aura Abilities - Ultimate Move: Spatial Distortion Field. It scales on the boosted speed of the user after Speed Acceleration is activated. This move is really cheating while allowing the user to temporarily exist the concept of three dimensional space to access the 4th layer - 4D field.
During this period of immunity, Yone can bypass all the drag force of any source in 3D space until it ends.
Yet, this part is truly the most important one. How can he reduce the crashing force? The answer is the "wall" between 3D and 4D fields. It prevents the majority of the impact of each side to the other side and it's the goal that Yone's aiming for.
When his first steps are made, he has already entered the 4th dimension. During this period of time, his existence is counted as an informal 4D entity, which means his body in Aurorize also be counted a part of his existence.
And then, if his body crashes into the enemy, his reaction force won't be that much, he can still bear it. But to determine how many of them will be reduced, Yone will still need to time his "come back."
Set the anchor at the moment he entered the 4D space, if he wants to reduce the damage on himself to zero, the aberration of clashing time and returning time must be 0 tick.
What does it mean? Easily we can determine that he'd take all the damage by reaction force if he returned faster 1 or slower 1 tick when his body did crash shot. And 0 tick is the perfect zone that he can ignore all the damage with the high cost.
The principle is really easy to understand. Due to the informal existence that he is, Yone can return to 3D space from the 4D space to "rewrite" himself from an entity in 4D space back to his normal self.
The reaction force is still here, it'll destroy all the parts of Yone. Yet, that body will be deleted because it's informal and temporary. Let's say B is a part of 4D Yone and A is himself. When A enters the 4D zone, B continues A's work and sacrifices itself for the strike. Based on the principle, A can get back to the 3D zone to negate a part of the "related" reaction force transmitting from B to A in the 4D zone.
Yet, everything has its own cost, the less reaction damage he takes, the more he pays. Life force, Aura or any kind of energy can be exchanged to EV (existence value), he must pay it off.
Now, let's start the performance!
The Shipper: "Holy sh*t, don't tell me."
"Oh f* no." - After seeing that guy start running around, the freelancer instantly rushes through the battlefield. He needs to drag the army to another place real quick.
*Vroom* - The moment his step landed on the ground was the moment he entered that immunity. The space distorts itself orderly and reveals the whole 3D reality below his eyes. It's just like you are looking at a perfect chessboard with the background itself reflecting the world his B part is rushing toward. In this dimension, he can achieve the "omniscent" state via observing every phenomenon around B part with many side views.
Each tick, based on the moment he entered Spatial Distortion Field, those enormous will coercively flow into his mind. It's like sure-hit attacks but can't be deflected or blocked, a massive pressure that no single one in this battle field can bear alone. Yet, this is only the first risk he has to face.
Oh c'mon, please. The Shipper is still rushing himself to catch as many guys as possible.
"Where are we going?" Luna just wonders.
"Well, far from that place."
"Can I…"
"If not, all of us will die."
"Okay."
Luker also realizes the problem, his special eye allows him to see through the set actions of Yone. Plenty of images are set all around the Cathedral with the perimeter of 950 meters and the end of the chains is directly pointing at only one guy, who is still standing strong. He knows that this is the final strike of both sides.
*Vroom* - He heard the space was bent, after taking a look, he realized that guy was evacuating the army. Luker instantly drags Hazen's shoulders and throws him toward that direction while rushing to another side to get more people.
"Appreciate that."
"Left side, three monsters!" - Luker warns.
As soon as he finished his warning, right behind our freelancer, they were all rushing toward him with the metal claws on hands.
*Vroom* - After a rotation, the space field is dragged toward Yazul immediately. This is the power of his ability - Space Manipulation: Shockwave. It works as Space Breaker Principle, still touching the space structure and shaking it to amplify the scale of the strikes while keeping the same destruction as the start. However, this move can only be activated thrice continuously and then he must wait for five minutes for the next three times. Nevertheless, it gains him the guaranteed chance for a Space Breaker, so why not?
*Crack* - As painting without paper, the crackles slightly spread out in the air miraculously.
"I'm quite in a hurry."
*Crack* - "So please get your ass out of my way, disgraceful ones."
*Bang* - Not even tearing them down, but blowing them out of this world in one on a thousand seconds.
*Vroom* - His second step has landed and the impact frames again pop up themselves. The stretched dark line and the blank instantly overwrite themselves over the reality just because of him - Yone.
The screams of winds tear down themselves and the impact frames again appear. Second step is down and Yone himself one more time rushes toward with the speed of 300 meters per second.
"Oh c'mon, Luker!"
"I see." - He calls out his companion, Latimas, and a hundred blood undeads.
Each individual instantly runs to a different direction just to pick up at least two people at once, because they all share the same vision, Luker can observe the total view of the current battlefield.
There have been around 15000 guys taken down, yet, only three of them are working under Aetheria's authority. On the contrary, the seven guilds of hitmen are already destroyed half in their force, around 231500 individuals. With this situation, it should be a victory signal for them, yet, Luker is sensing something strange.
*Vsh* - Something, strange, here!
*Clash* - He swings the spear right immediately at his left side and it actually hits a knife. After rotating half, he again parries two more while stepping backward once. He can't see the bloodlust in those eyes, but an emptiness inside.
"What are you?"
"I don't even know." - It takes out two dozens of knives and slightly plays with them. It has four arms, a head yet made by two different ones, a long snake-like tongue and a natural armored skin.
"Weird." - Luker takes out the golden spear.
"True." - And they both start the match right away.
All of a sudden, he gets dragged from behind, "You idiot! Run first!"
Ah yes, Luker even forgot that he was helping The Shipper to evacuate people then running away.
"Oh, sure."
*Vroom* - The veil has been closed and both of them disappear out of the battlefield, a second within. It only stands still, waiting for the up-coming destruction.
Within only this approximate sonic level speed, Yone has already tortured the pressure large enough to almost wipe out his consciousness in that moment.
"This is the first and only time I use this move." - A voice clangs all around the 4D space.
"So prepare yourself!" - A smile distorts and that silhouette disappears right at the moment he's going to do a crash shot.
0.08 tick…
*Splash* - With the speed of mach 81853.2, the kick has finally reached its destination.
*Whirr* - A moment of silence, but under the veil of obscurity, the sound of cataclysm is parading. The winds then suddenly stop moving, the leaves also stop falling and that guy has stopped standing.
*Boom* - The entire ground of the Cathedral with a perimeter of 950 meters was crushed into dust. The entire land of 850 meter radius was also broken into many various size blocks of dirt and rocks. Seems like the destruction was too large for that dude to disperse evenly through a 10^9 cubic meters.
Inside the hall of the Cathedral, there are two guys staring at each other. One of them is reigning over the throne of faith authority, he's playing with the crown carefreely. That face, that smirk, the blue flames lingering around and the distortion of humanity, obviously, he is the Pontiff.
The other guy has a white as snow hair, his eyes lingering the trails of astral. He is murmuring something, perhaps an incantation.
"Andra–"
His fingers point straight up toward that heresy, the cosmic flows intertwined as a blessing. The shockwaves and bursted winds outside of the hall even enhance his determination by an unshakable gaze. They aren't in order, each and each and each of them continuously blows through his entire back, shoulders, body and hair as a scream of madness.
However, perhaps they didn't even bother him a moment at all.
The flows keep flowing and the stars are shining, it's time for an end.
"–zyvalis"
