Fifty-five dead on the second night. Unforgivable. Utterly unforgivable. The warning had already been doled out, and yet they had not listened. The innocents had cried out, and yet they had not listened. As he approached the structure, following the return of the Berserker, an armored hand swung through the air haphazardly. [color=f0cca3]"'The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.' Amen."[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/QESCCv7.png[/img][/center] Something 'other' appeared, lurking beyond the thin glass of the world. A nightmarish weight pressed down upon the surroundings with its arrival. An eyeless gaze was cast upon the structure. There was disgust in its gaze. There was enmity in its gaze. There was love in its gaze. And the Bounded Field which surrounded the building...no, not merely that, but every ensorcelled effect upon the premises- Shattered. Came apart. Fell away. Bounded Fields were broken. Magic foundations became inaccessible. Rogue spirits were sublimated. Karakuri familiars and Mirai's own limbs shut down, refusing to move. Even the foremost Caster of the East and the draconic Berserker felt it, their spiritual foundations shaking under that oppressive weight. The shape that could not be seen looked on in sorrow. He, however, never once stopped moving. A blade appeared in his right hand. Hidden eyes glinted, a hunter before prey. When he finally came to a halt outside of the building, his voice tore through the air. The upright pride of a man of faith. The bestial growl of a man of war. [color=f0cca3]"Mirai Kurojishi, Madhisi, in the name of God, come forth and be judged for the men and women slain by your hands. Failure to comply will be considered a declaration of war."[/color] Such was the declaration of the war's true overseer. Such was the first appearance of the Servant, Ruler.
