She didn't particularly notice that an invisible enemy charged at Wukong, how the airborne Avenir vaporized one of the arachnid centaur's limb, Breacher's attempt to save her, nor Leroux charging at the vampiric conductor. Right here, right now, she must purify this sacrilegious sister before attending to her allies. The sniper gritted her teeth as she braced for impact with her weapon, a marksman being forced to defend against a swordswoman at melee, definitely not ideal in any stretch of the word. Fortunately, the Malice Incarnate himself swooped in like a guardian devil, intercepting the zweihander falchion with his blade; his dagger didn't have enough to strength to overpower the faux nun, but it did achieve its purpose of deflecting the attack away from its intended target. Even then, his dark melody managed to coil and restrain around their foe's blade; not having any intention to squander this opportunity, Valkyrie immediately took aim and-... [color=ff991c][b]"...?!"[/b][/color] ...-stood still, not by her own volition; Valkyrie's face contorted into a furious wince as she stared fiercely at the clergy charlatan's single visible carmine eye. Her mind was already sending commands to her feet to step back so she could maneuver Teslic Gauss’ long barrel, yet control over her own body was magically restricted from her. Silmeria tried her damndest to just [i]fucking move back![/i] But whether she'd eventually succeed or not, she didn't have the time to find out as Silhouette's thrown form crashed against her, sending both of them to smash against a nearby statue. As the sniper groaned in pain, she felt a strange substance drenching her frame, its pungent smell assaulting her olfactory senses. [color=ff991c][i]This is... kerosene?![/i][/color] Why in the name of the Allfather did a fucking [i]vampire[/i] keep flammable material in his home? Either real vampires had no particular weakness against flames or Justin was just crazy like that, she's inclined to believe the latter. Right now, however, she had his thralls to worry about. With so many chaotic events happening at once, even the toxic fog of the arachnid-centaur-abomination-thing didn't consciously register in Valkyrie's mind as its smell was masked by the oil. This wasn't good, she's supposed to provide fire support to the team, but the nun was too strong for Silhouette to face alone; she's drenched in oil, and a strange affliction was gripping her body. She didn't like this, no one in her position would, perhaps this was where her story would end? Perhaps it'd be easier to just give up and let the void take her...? Then Helena's visage tore through the fog of doubt of her mind. [color=ff991c][b]"..."[/b][/color] Valkyrie's unblinking gaze hardened, vengeful hatred concentrated into a tranquil fury coursing through her veins. Yes, right now, she wasn't a mere human, an instrument of divine will instead. Shifting the symbol of Thor's might in her hands, she took aim at the perverse mockery of a nun, it was time to free the impure of their curse. [color=ff991c][i]So as the forebears who came before me, I vow to cleanse the world of those whose presence become a haunt for mankind. This shall be known... [b]Nibelung Valesti![/b][/i][/color] Teslic Gauss pulsated with thunderous power, then... [color=ff991c][b]BOOM!![/b][/color] Arcane lightning tore through space, swifter than any esper, faster than any vehicle, and dwarfing all conventional firearms; only the photons of light could hope to match it as the melody homed toward the nun's heart. May her wicked soul be baptized by thunder!
