[color=bc8dbf]"...I see. You simply don't understand...no, you [i]can't[/i] understand. You can't see their wishes or their karma, you can't see what they pray for, and so you assume they are the same as you. You assume that is what they live for."[/color]

Tesla's body tensed as he began to move to the side, Disengaging from the conflict entirely as his armor focused on speeding up his movement as much as possible. 

[color=bc8dbf]"A genius cannot understand ordinary men. I do not blame you, Nikola Tesla, as that would simply be to blame what you are, but I cannot accept it. I cannot accept a world that causes them to suffer, and neither can they. Those who have lost their homes and loved ones, those broken by meaningless tragedy, those who rage at death and scream at life, I cannot ignore their prayers."[/color]

Every one of his attacks hit, but Tesla could tell. He knew it wouldn't be enough, he just needed the distraction to get away. 

[color=bc8dbf]"You are indeed a Star of humanity, but are you not aware? Monsters kill humans. Heroes kill monsters. Humans kill heroes."[/color]

A fact Tesla was all too aware of. Vines burst from the ground where Tesla once was, but he was no longer there. He was now completely focused on Disengaging from this futile conflict, he would need to regroup with Darius at the Church if they were to fight off these men. 

[color=bc8dbf]"And in this moment, I stand beside humans."[/color]

And that is why you will fall. Because just as men slay heroes and heroes slay monsters, monsters slay men. And Tesla held within his fortress the most powerful poison created by a monster.

The time was now. A wave of primal madness swept over them, but it was nullified by the Charisma that strange man with the glasses gave off. Altera put on her own pair with little fanfare, they were merely another tool after all. She then calmly walked out the door, closed it behind her, and drew the Sword of Mars.

[color=lightsteelblue]"As my Master said. Chop chop."[/color] Mana was channeled into her legs via the Crest of the Stars, increasing her speed immensely as she scanned the Lyaeus before her. These Beasts while threatening, were nothing compared to the monster she had faced down in the bar. Only a few were in her line of sight, but those few would be destroyed. It was her purpose after all, she was a killing machine. It would be very embarrassing if the machine failed at it's first job.

Her eyes locked onto the one warping space, with a single step she was already halfway to him. The second step had her spinning in a circle, her sword extending outwards like a whip to cut anyone coming towards her in half. The third step was to control her momentum, stopping in front of the Lyaeus and redirecting her momentum into a single punch to the face. The mana to her legs was cut and redirected to her arms, that fist coming in at mach speeds. 

[color=lightsteelblue]"Crumble to dust."[/color]

Her fist slammed into the Lyaeus's face, sending it flying backwards as Altera cut off the flow of mana to her arms. She turned to the next one, the sun reflecting off her sunglasses as she prepared for the real fight to begin.
