The intense golden light continued to shine brightly as the essence-machine continued to take shape. The Elemental rushed out from beneath her and into combat with the unknown foe while Ysolda finished the spell. Not a minute later, the spell took final form. The mighty Solar Exalt was encased in a glorious and golden construct capable of withstanding immense punishment and dealing out even more damage than it could withstand. The spell's completion was just in the nick of time, too. A rain of unknown armaments came down from the heavens and created an eruption of flame, debris, and air pressure less than two kilometers from where Ysolda stood. She heard hundreds of voices cry out in terror just before the explosions snuffed them out and overcame the wails with thunder and fire. [B]"This is... why would someone... I can't let this go on."[/B] She was in shock. Sure, she had seen death and war back in her homeland... but this was destruction on a new scale. Comparable to the mightiest of Solar-Circle spells, even. Frankly, she was lucky to be outside the blast radius. Moving at an intense pace ( 10x normal, as per the spell description ) thanks to the extended stride of her essence-armor, Ysolda rushed through the inferno and powered through the ruined area in the hope that she could assist in combating the threat. Coming to a bombed-out shell of a building, she fired the armor's shoulder-mounted Medium Essence Cannon. The blast ripped a huge hole through the front of the building and tore right through to the back, allowing Ysolda nearly unhindered passage through it. Unfortunately, she was still about 1500m from the foe that unleashed this destruction. Worse, she still could not see the enemy... this time due to the smoke, fire, and settling debris. By her math, she was still about twenty seconds out. Good enough, she figured. Twenty seconds to think of how best to deal with a foe that was likely on par with Creation's Deathlords. There was always one option... but she didn't want to resort to that unless there was no choice. Problem was that this entity had unleashed such mayhem in such a short time... that she may have no choice in the matter. Only time would tell... and that time was growing shorter with every stride she took toward this very dangerous enemy.
