On the battlefield with the Foxes, a woman stood watching the war from a far. This woman had long, silver-white hair that cascaded down her back in waves. Despite the warring atmosphere there was a calm, almost serene beauty to her features, but beneath all of that lies the weight of countless battles fought and won. Her face, delicate but yet sharp at the same time. She looked both youthful and ancient as her violet eyes seemed to hold immense knowledge.
This woman was Vaelora Iretheil, the Matriarch of the Weapon Bearing Sect.
She was a part of the group that included The Human King and both the Demon King and Queen. This group also had the Dragon King, before he left to join the others. Currently she stood alone as the other three were currently at their base.
Unlike the other battlefields, this group played things slow and to the pace of the others. Over the last 6 months Vaelora has been the only Saint to make an appearance and even when she did it were only small confrontations at the most. She and the others were much different from Raven's group, these four were seasoned warriors.
People who had lived for many years and had seen war before. Even if they hadn't fought wars on this scale, they still knew better than showing all your cards at once. So, with this being the case she waited a gathered intel appropriately.
And now it was time. As she watched over the battles her eyes wandered until the locked onto a man. This man was tens of thousands of meters away, but even then Vaelora could see him clearly. The man had white ears and 8 tails behind him, he was the Saint that was currently on the battlefield.
Vaelora and this man had clashed a few times over these few months, but now it was time to pick the pace up. Looking at the man with cold and calculating eyes Vaelora hand moved to her weapon that was on her back.
Unlike most people, Vaelora choice of weapon was rather unique for several reasons. The first reason is that her weapon has been with her since birth. It was hidden deep within her soul and didn't reveal itself until she reached the Mythical rank. Her weapon was called 'Shattered Aegis.'
The Shattered Aegis is an ethereal weapon that shifts between various forms, all while retaining its original purpose of being a protective and destructive force. It was made up of a semi-transparent material that appeared to be a mix of crystals, obsidian, with jagged edges that pulsed with energy.
The look was unique, it looked almost as if the shield was 'shattered' by cosmic forces, but the power within the shield still seeks to reform. In its primary form, it manifests as a shield, its surface reflecting and refracting the light around it, appearing to almost 'fracture' space itself. The surface of the shield bears inscriptions of forgotten runes, each one pulsing with the energies of the unknown.
As she reached for it, the shattered shield began to transform into a great sword as if understanding her intentions. She grabbed the hilt then spoke.
|Concept of Boundless Storm|
HUMMMMM!!!!
BOOOOOM!!!
Once she activated her concept she moved towards the male fox. Her speed was so fast that a sonic boom sounded. She appeared in striking distance within an instant, catching the man off guard she swung her great sword with an absurd amount of force.
BOOOOM!!!
"Let's have our final dance, shall we?" She spoke as she watched the man crash into broken rocks that floated in space.
The Fox crawled out of a crater that was on a dead star and wiped some white blood from his lips. He looked at Vaelora in the distance and spoke.
"So, you finally decided to finish things. Well, that's fine with me too." He spoke with a grin his face. He then activated his concept as well.
|Concept - Mirage of Verdant Reverie|
HUMMM!
The moment the fox whose name is Shen, activate his concept a surge of energy flowed towards him. Then in the next instant illusory foxes and phantom vines formed around him. He then moved with speed that rivaled Vaelora.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The two engaged in a fierce close combat fight. Shen used his concept 'Mirage of Vedant Reverie' as his summoned illusory foxes and phantom vines attempted to confuse Vaelora. With every blow he landed, the battlefield around them warped, as verdant illusions showed, forming false landscapes and even false skies. His goal was to disorient her and make it difficult for her to land her strikes.
Vaelora stood firm, her Shattered Aegis morphing between great sword and into a spear as she focuses her energy. She channels the Boundless Storm—the chaotic, ever-changing force of creation and destruction—to obliterate the illusions. Her spear strikes with immense force, cracking the illusory landscape and pushing through the deceptions with raw power.
CRACK!
BOOOMMMM!
With nothing but sheer power, Vaelora shattered the illusions like glass. As the illusion shattered, she pressed forward as Shen fought back fiercely. He continued to distort the surroundings, creating false landscapes, making Vaelora believe she's surrounded at times by mountains, magma, and even vast forests.
For a brief moment, she got confused but the moment she did her concept 'Boundless Storm' within her stirred to life. She releases a surge of storm mana, using her concept to tear apart the illusions once again. Her Aegis morphed again as her blade crackled with destructive energies, cutting through all that was illusory.
As the Storm energy raged around, Vaelora stood unleashing a barrage of attacks on Shen who was starting to become overwhelmed. Each strike Vaelora launched seemed to be a manifestation of pure destruction.
|Shadow Tendrils|
Shen, sensing his illusions fading, attempts to strike at her with Shadow Tendrils a skill he created seeking to entangle her limbs. But Vaelora's Boundless Storm swells, and in a flash of energy, she unleashes a cataclysmic burst from her spear. A torrent of energy bursts outward, disintegrating the shadows and forcing Shen to retreat from the overwhelming power.
With the full force of her storm, Vaelora releases a tempest—a violent and chaotic surge of creation and destruction—clearing the surrounding space of Shen phantom illusions. The area around them is swept clean, and the real battle begins.
