The sonic wave crashed into the barriers he'd placed around his allies and Yuri could feel the potency. Such a roar would have been adequate enough, but with the enhancement provided by the butterfly, it proved to be enough to rattle the sign-wielding maniac. To add to it, Gou had launched a wind-based attack as well which collided with the alien and proved very useful. Yuri was impressed. The Yuheng Sect was known for their intense training, much like the Lan Sect and those of the Silver Moon Sect. Being a part of the same world made Yuri feel some sort of responsibility for Gou as if he were his guardian or something. He knew of Gou's master and his mind reminisced to the day he first met him. Talented. Strong, and very rash. His disciples often laughed at Yuri when he would say that their master was kind. Apparently, he was known for having a cold exterior, but when the man trained Yuri, he had a warm approach and everything flowed better. There was no sexual attraction there, but Yuri knew he could also reach out to the man if needed. There was one from the Yuheng Sect that he missed terribly, but he dare not go back, he couldn't not now, not after what he'd done. He left that lifestyle for a reason because he wanted to prevent fighting, but he knew he'd hurt them, he knew they would probably never forgive him. Meeting Gou was bringing back memories he didn't expect and it unnerved him slightly to think that there could be a possibility of returning just to visit, only to visit. His mind had left the battlefield, if only temporarily, but when it returned he saw that ice now covered the ground and the lifeform now had a speed limit sign attached to his chest with a metal pole in hand. His body reacted on instinct and when he heard the clang of metal striking metal, he looked at Gou and quickly located the Sign Master. The blade of the beautiful sword Yuri held pulsed with energy. Letters etched in the blade began to glow. He didn't have time to wonder why as the Sign Master came charging again and again his body reacted, protecting Gou as if he had sworn to do so. The sword's edge collided with the pipe in a shower of sparks littered the iced ground. "This has gone on long enough," Yuri said as he cut his hand and ran it across the blade. The letters engorged with power and Yuri's form brightened slightly as he flipped away elegantly on the ice before spinning around to unleash his attack. [color=9e0b0f]"Blood Omen: Spirit Swarm!"[/color] Yuri's aura fluxed as several portals within the cube opened releasing a swarm of spiritually charged butterflies before closing swiftly. Each butterfly was packed with arcane energy, resistant to manipulation, and controlled only by Yuri. He would need to be knocked unconscious for the swarm not to attack their target. The swarm of butterflies gathered around Yuri, Yuri's eyes having changed with the power of the spell. Holding the blade of the sword, the swarm waited until Yuri made one slashing motion in the direction of the Sign Master. The swarm surged forth like a bright line of destructive energy.
