We will cross that line when we have to,"[/COLOR] Iona said, replying to Suparna's question regarding what to do if she manages to capture Victoire. [COLOR=PALEGOLDENROD]"Your intentions of serving Celestia are admirable but you will not achieve anything if you aren't in the battlefield,"[/COLOR] she added before eyeing the maggot girl inquisitively.

[COLOR=PALEGOLDENROD]"I believe you want me to help you with that, right?"[/COLOR] Iona asked Suparna since it didn't seem like she was capable of getting to the battlefield on her own.

It was a chaotic mess of broken landmasses, held together by what little gravitational energy was afforded to it; an impressive feat given that the valley was located dangerously close to the roiling turmoil of the Nexus' borders. In fact, the very land [URL=https://youtu.be/oWTC7P1Dprw]echoed and hummed[/URL] with the massive power of the reality storm that threatened to engulf and destroy it at any moment. What would happen to anyone unlucky enough to be swallowed by it was anyone's guess.

Nevertheless, the valley itself was far from being sterile. In fact, it was teeming with unique forms of life that seemed to be made part of energy and part of the strange crystals that covered much of the land.

The forces doing battle amid the haze of purple energy were locked in an ever-escalating battle as no one was able to take control over the land for long enough to establish a lasting base of operations that would enable a larger scale battle, justifying the presence of champions, to happen.

Close to Suparna's entry point, she would see a small group of minor Angels being hailed with Machina gunfire, coming from a pair of heavy mechs armed to the teeth with cannons, missiles, lasers, and all else the Supreme Queen's armies had to offer. While they may be formidable foes to an everyday cherubic soldier or minor einherjar, their might paled compared to the monstrosities that Suparna faced on Asgard. No doubt she would be able to deal with them if she wanted to.

The Guardian exclaimed just as Bonesword thought that he got out of range, only to find that Charlie got snared not by tethers made out of the water it was touching—the momentum of his movement certainly throwing Bonesword away.

A moment later, the beast would have its body unceremoniously torn in half and devoured by the Guardian's jaws as it emerged from the water under it. "Your defiance will not be tolerated!" Another one said as he burst from the waters, aiming a tail strike—intent to knock Bonesword to the ground— followed by a machete blow aimed right at the skeleton's skull.

Meanwhile, the other combatants who seemed to ignore the very existence of the Guardian would have another threat to deal with as massive, multiton stone blocks began to detach themselves from the pyramid's ceiling and plummet towards the swamp like an oversized hailstorm. The most curious aspect of this being that not only the blocks began to fall, but also fly around as soon as they hit the ground—running over and crushing anyone in their path— forming what looked like a very characteristic, [URL=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/72/09/2c/72092ced420f2d192add15bacc7b375a.jpg]several stories form[/URL], made of hard stone with a shiny red [URL=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jadensadventures/images/4/4e/Millennium_eye_by_emoneygraphix-d5nooay.png/revision/latest?cb=20140419072931]eye[/URL], blinking on its 'chest'.
