Descending Lightning Of The Heavenly Punishment!
"... ... ... ... ..." There was silence and only it as there were 2 sides from the top left and top right corner of the northern side of the arena, while even more pairs of eyes, numerous times more than those on the arena were watching these 2 groups of people watching each other right as only 20 seconds remained before the starting of the final battle!
"Hooo..." Someone just sighed out a cannon of air, slowly, from their lips as they were shaped into a cute little 'o'. Cyn smirked embarrassingly but also felt a bit naughty as she pinched the dummy Xiao Ruo who had just broken the tense atmosphere. Xiao Ruo responded by actually grabbing Cyn's left hand that dared violate her precious skin that was well and already reserved for her Master!!
Ayyynn~!
"P-...puchi...!" Seeing Xiao Ruo taste the nature out of her leaves and tree root's-like left forearm, Cyn was now the one to break the tense atmosphere as she then hurriedly covered her mouth while those big eyes of hers darted around in slight embarrassment. All while her Little Ruo was tickling her with those canines of her, sigh.
They kept on playing with one another for a little bit and, as the nearby Maidens and Ladies looked on after being bored from waiting and became self-absorbed on watching them go, so did the crowds and viewership as they even became as fast as lightning to create a fan club for the motherly Spiritual Mommy and the cutest Cute Rawrr, best story ever.
In any case...
Bam!
...suddenly, as if now trying to make every single watching eye and to those who are to fight to notice and get ready, the invisible barriers of the arena pertaining to each Association's territory were promptly lifted!
With but a shake of everyone's necks and heads, the warm-feeling Order then turned their faces and expressions on them towards the Sharpened Vanguard Hall with their countenance now becoming those of determined Maidens and Ladies.
Step, step, step, step...
Without needing to say anything, Natalia was the first to move as Diana accompanied her with the rest of the Ladies right a few steps behind them while the Maidens were more or less one meter behind Natalia and Diana; as stomping sounds came from the 102 delicate feet of these women, so was the Sharpened Vanguard Hall's players beginning to also march at high speeds towards the in-between of the 2 territories.
Suddenly, Team#1 led by Estel turned to the left, and her mini-squad consisting of mostly gunfighters, 2 Seven Sins Knights and the rare female Fallen Archmage Xueye, they took the center and went over it to arrive at the right wing of the Sharpened Vanguard Hall 51-player group.
The moment it happened, the two wonderful besties of the entirety of Team#2, Yao Yao and Miriam, turned towards the left and advanced with even greater speed with Itnia's timely Movement Speed buffing skill. Right after, they jumped in the air as Miriam used her Spear Reforged by Light to create a tiny and small spearhead with a length of over 50 centimeters with Yao Yao in front of Miriam.
As Yao Yao upper and lower waist was grabbed by Miriam's careful and delicate and exquisite fair hands respectively, Yao Yao had her palms connected to each other as her head was lowered and not a slight of blush could be seen on her serious face. Miriam, on the other hand, was friendly holding Yao Yao as the speed of her spearhead moved faster than ever possible as she only had to care about Yao Yao this time.
In one single motion, as soon as Team#2 moved towards the center and had levitated then flown and zoomed in the distance; was also the moment that Team#3 took the most strongest Movement Speed buffs with Sammy being the strongest one on this matter thanks to her Myriad Daggers class as she instantly enchanted all of Team#3's feet with murk-dark energy and granted everyone a Movement Speed+50% for 10 minutes.
Obviously, it would've been another color, be it light to dark azure color, but with the special capabilities and effects of Sammy's, Juvenile Blade's, Dark bloodline, she was able to even affect a thing such as an ordinary class to give it this special visual effect. And from only giving Movement Speed+50% it also granted raw Movement Speed+20% and Action Speed+40%; she was great, indeed.
With all of this happening in but a moment, Itnia and the Soul Bridge Maiden who was the other branch that a Shaman could become, joined together and then unleashed an even more exotic Movement Speed+200% for 20 seconds altogether as the Grand Shaman that was Itnia and the Soul Bridge Maiden took the lead this time and were utterly protected by a fully concentrated Diana and a caring Natalia.
Stepstepstepstepstepstepstepstep!
As the Cold Dictator moved slowly forwards and his people ran fast with all of their mighty ability and their equipment's special effects, he was gazing at the front when a frown emerged on his visage; right after, he looked up at the sky, not at Yao Yao and Miriam but to the sky itself as if in understanding of something.
Step, step!
Very soon, from the first step of his as he rushed to the front as well to accompany his people, the second step he made forth was made with all of his strength as he actually finally showed what he himself could do and amazed the crowd as the incredible strong and formidable body might of the Cold Dictator 'came to light' at last!
"Woah, look at that! He can move very damn fast, I think he's wearing heavy armor compressed in some ways to appear of light-weight. How can he do that?"
"Um, I think this is why it is an Universal Hidden Class, he may even... look! He took out 2 small blades and is now running along with them!"
"Ooh? Those look like Tongqiu's, but much more smaller and with much less width, are they some kind of new weapons?"
"No! Those are Charay Khyber Knives! With them, one can handle them as a pair of centurion gladius, but they have a much more stronger and painful cut, as well as cleaving if done well. But that is for real life, in here, it may even be able to be as powerful and heavy as a gladius but also be extremely faster and even able to naturally inflict Bleeding effect and more of the same type. Anyway, that's all I know."
"...Nerd."
As the crowd discussed, Team#2 arrived just a few dozen meters before the rushing Sharpened Vanguard Hall players.
Instantly after, Yao Yao finally did her first move, which was also done at the time as the Cold Dictator caught up with his people and entered the group from behind. Since this wasn't a dumb ass medieval shit, it was rather obvious that his people already knew he was coming but were still going at it to rush into the battlefield without waiting for their Leader; at the Leader's orders.
TSHIN~~!!
A fiery citadel of 270m x 270m appeared once again, its luster was a bit more dark this time and was rather ominous even, but the ordinariness of its fire yet the majestic brilliance of each sparkling bit of the entire fiery orange and slightly dark-red citadel was still there. The crowd cheered like crazy when they saw this move, as Yao Yao had once again began to use the 'signature move' of The Order first things first once a battle commenced at the Association vs Association segment.
As soon as the citadel was created, the Cold Dictator had also reached the middle fo the 50-players man group, now of 51-players instead. When everyone around him got startled by the literally instantaneous famous skill of that one young girl, they took quite a lot of time before being able to convince themselves that this was definitely not an illusion; and should they adamantly think so, well, death.
At this time, as the Cold Dictator calmed down and was about to announce his new change of plan and new orders for defense and passive-offensive demeanor next, a young man's voice could be heard. "God dammit, that fine sweet thing got us trapped. Does she wants us all for herself? Hahahaha, come on brothers, let's go look for the sweet pie! Ah-ha!"
"Stop right there! Get back to your line, and pipe down!" The cold voice that was obviously from their leader's exhausted into a scare the jubilant hearts put at ease of the young man who just now spoke a little bit, he and his group trembled for a whole 2 seconds before scurrying back to their positions.
Step, step.
As soon as they did, the Cold Dictator's steps resounded in their still slightly trembling ears, when those steps came just to the side of the young man, he turned his head to face his Leader as this was commanding etiquette.
"!!" As soon as the young man did so, the old face of an angered damn old man could be seen right at that instant, and just as the young man was about to follow up with more etiquette, the following Cold Dictator's words made him remember of a cutest little girl that was just slightly younger than that of the young girl he just badmouthed around.
"Did you feel short on your free time, young one? Ah?" With his head jerking back slowly once and his mouth deprecatingly opening once against the fearful eyes of the young man, the old Palas looked at him with clear, brutish eyes as he then continued. "Even if you know your cousin, you only know; your fate is all in these hands of mine. Do, talk, think and even breathe something wrong, and you're gone, kiddo."
Step, step. Step. Step... Step... Step...
Leaving the now actually raging but still fearful young man aside, even as Palas did indeed knew of this, he chose to ignore this childish demeanor for the sake of one of his descendants and went over to order his people. They had already wasted lots of valuable seconds, on this battle that could last just a minute or 'only' 5 minutes, seconds were so utterly precious.
Bang! Bang bang bang bang...!
And by the time he was just about to finish giving his new orders, the sounds of his people being attacked and then responding to the scary hearing sounds of enemy gunshots while the Cold Dictator was at the left wing of his grouped up people, making all of the Sharpened Vanguard Hall to start retaliating with the Cold Dictator's one and sole nod at the activity.
In the same manner, he, the Cold Dictator, even shocked them as the blades in his hands weren't put away and he instead charged along with his people; but to the very front of the group as he met the incoming blade of a long sword come his way as soon as he went over to the right wing of his people!
Clank-clink, clink clink clink clink-CLANK! Bvreee-Vwlsht-Pfruiyl!
With but just a few seconds of exchange with one of the Seven Sins Knight Maidens, he showed his incredible value on not just planning a strategy as he soon found himself slashing at the ribs of the Maiden before following with the same kind of slashing motion on the same spot just a second later, creating quite the pain for the Maiden who was then rescued by Sonia.
PUM! CRASH! CLANKCLANKCLANK! PAM PAM PAM!
Suddenly, form the left wing, Palas heard a bunch of new sounds consisting of magical, elemental and even melee-type classes' sword and pole arm skills that detonated all at perfectly the same time. As he saw a bunch of names disappear from his list, Palas actually felt quite excited seeing something so impossible to defend befall on his shoulders.
With a shake of his head made out of something like 'oh well, here we go' and of 'time to work harder then!'; Palas dashed into the distance as he quickly got into a fight with 5 different Maidens who, instead of falling right away by his incredible speed and heavy blades, cautiously managed him after having received a simple report from the Seven Sins Knight.
Whistle, whistle, whistle!
Pfruiyl! Pfruiyl! Pfruiyl! Pfruiyl! Pfruiyl! Pfruiyl!
With the sound of 3 bowstrings releasing arrows, the Legendary Vanguard Archer Maidens wielded a small bow as they fired two arrows with some difficulty towards the very center of the enemy's left wing from their group before raising up to the occasion and stored away their small bows before taking out each a huge 2.3m long crossbow with a width of almost half a meter.
Vvvang~! PWANG~! KANG~!
With the swings of each such crossbow, the Legendary Vanguard Archer Maidens knocked away the 'squishy' Keepers of Light players as some beasts from the Celestial Invokers went straight ahead at this group. But right as it was so, and as the huge crossbow-wielding Maidens were about to be forced into getting distracted by such; a ghostly flame with a color of a combination between blue and white appeared to cover the entirety of the Summoned Pets Bodies as they were forced back to the Celestial Invokers who then lost a huge chunk of both MP and Stamina as well as a tiny amount of HP, however, that HP looked blacked as if... it was no longer possible to be recuperated.
Right after, the Maidens and nearby enemy players saw a young woman wielding the same kind of heavy-light looking set of equipment than all of the other Maidens, and just as they saw her, they also realized that she was holding a huge scalding hot cannon with smoke coming out from the huge mouth of her cannon.
It was of an orange main color with stripes of a darker orange, but from the inside of the cannon's mouth was all silvery metallic and neat. From it, however, came that ghostly fire of blue and white that instantly counterattacked with perfect effects the Summoned Pets from the Celestial Invokers. Be it tall devils with black color and wings of the same, huge dogs with a height of almost 5 meters or even a long python with armored scales that was as long as 40 meters and so on, they were all sent back by this... modernized cannon into a 'flamethrower'!
"Go!" The Maiden lightly said, but the heroic glints on her eyes demolished all sense of low-key that she wanted to keep, and just as her fellow Maidens grinned at her and thanked her with a nod, more Summoned Pets came to their way as she this time took out a smaller tool with a cylindrical shape.
Whoosh-BWABLABWABLABWABLABWA!!
The Ember Armament Maiden threw of the thing, and just as it went away for 3.5 meters, it seemingly dismantled as if it became a little drone with the style of a helicopter. But it was obviously not. It had 3 propellers which were going in circles in midair on the same space that it stopped and 'dismantled' itself. As it gyrated on its own ,the same kind of ghostly flame but with more blue than white came out of it as a hurricane was slowly forming, before anything else could happen, the 3 Elements Prodigy Maidens and the 1 Otherworldly Elementalists took a risk by suffering several hits but also managed to come to the Ember Armament Maiden's side to support her hurricane.
Swish... swish... swish... swish. Swish. Swish. Swish, swish. Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Sure enough, with just 3 seconds since their arrival to the Ember Armament Maiden's side, the hurricane went from a 3 meters height to a full 75 meters height that was now rotating with speed comparable to 200% of one's Movement Speed. Before the Sharpened Vanguard could know it, the Celestial Invokers felt incredibly exhausted as their Summoned on the battlefield began to fly directly into it, before a shadow of the same came running straight at said Celestial Invoker in particular.
That wasn't all, as even the Celestial Invokers who were close enough had their Summons forcibly dragged out of their Summon's space and directly disappeared into the more blue than white hurricane, before the image of those Summoned Pets' shadows return to their master and their master's HP bar gets blackened.
Battles; they were all intense and quick-paced, there was a killing here or there, and even 7 Maidens had fallen in the time since the entire battlefield took place as they were noiselessly transported out of the arena. On the other hand though, about 30 whole enemy players had died instead, creating the biggest contrast ever in such a one on one concentration. This, alone; elicited many cries from the crowd.
"LET'S GOO, THE ORDER. THE-OR-DER!"
"The Order, Champions. The Order!!!"
"Sharpened Vanguard, you can do it! Come ooon~!!"
"Angel Mommy that heals us will protect The Order until the ends of times, woahaaaaa~!!!"
KKKCCRR-KCHI-KACHA!!!!
BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
"!!!!" Suddenly and without no fucking prior heads up nor warning, from the even higher skies, a deeply purple and blinding white made barely a diminute half a second appearance on the clouds as in the right next fucking moment, a lightning bolt of the very same colors descended furiously towards the right wing of the Sharpened Vanguard Hall less than 51-player group.
Yun Beishang was one of the few who knew what happened, or rather, what was going on just right before the lightning struck from above all the way to making a bottomless hole on the arena where a male player was previously at and as a dumbfounded Maiden was standing a few meters away from as Main Kingdom's lands could actually be seen from that bottomless hole.
One young man had been suddenly growing incredibly restless and, just as he was about to coordinate with his group to attempt the kill of the possibly 8 felled Maiden, she was rescued by Estel who instantly deleted his teammates in just 5 seconds along with her Mecha. With an extensive sense of frustration, besides having something else on his mind, the young man actually tried to use his signature skillset of a Soul Monarch to try and... grope a Maiden's left breast with force in his soul form.
Only for him to be brutally shattered into dust and tiny nothings by the Heavenly Punishment lightning that had already reached the young man even before he could move half a step forth in his soul form a few meters away from the Maiden of The Order.
And of course, besides the nearby Maidens, Lady Estel and Sharpened Vanguard Hall and some attentive crowds and viewership; Yun Beishang was one to have seen that in the Living Room with a bunch of other families as his face... turned hideously murderous!
Only with Ellie's help was it that his negative aura wasn't exploded out even a tiny bit, lest he makes them all sleep for the rest of the week...
Meanwhile, however; a brutally shivering and maddened Palas was looking at the right wing of his now less than 51-player group, his eyes were so scary that only the little girl at the Tron Founding Clan territory watching him fight wasn't totally and outright terrified by it... as he gazed at where a certain other young man was at, his eyes were not nice at all and the other young man was already having a mental breakdown.
