The War of the Three

So, the battle is finally over. I'll post the conclusion on my next post or so. In the meanwhile, @Silvan Haven, you can have Saef be back to Celestia on your next post, if want to.

Now that the battle is over we can officially have some free time.

The War of the Three

Battle

Farris rose from the small crater formed when she collided against the ground, breaking into the catacombs much like the Dragon. Her stoic attitude didn't change, despite the heavy hit. The Herald brushed the dust off of herself, after eliminating any nearby Demon Roses, and flew back into the air.

Farris rejoined the fight in time to see that there was one more demon still willing to oppose Saef and her. The Dragon seemed to be preparing its strongest attack. Saef's spell disrupted it but wasn't enough to force the dragon to a halt, because of the —was that a harpy?— demon deflecting part of it. This gave the time Farris needed to snare the Dragon —and possibly the corrupted harpy, too— in crystal chain, rendering it unable to dodge what came next: Farris response for a foe as powerful and brute as the Demon Rose Dragon. Such a response came in the form of a huge crystal meteor, hurtling from the skies right at them.

The Dragon's breath attack was interrupted by Saef's magic. Thanks to Atarah's attempts at mitigating the effect, it wasn't totally wasted though and the great demonic beast could recover the energy it lost in a matter of moments. However, just as it was about to unleash its destructive might at the Heavenly warrior, chains of holy crystal bound it in place, forcing the Dragon's maw close and cutting its mobility.

All of the blood it gathered, splashed back on the ground like a rain of corrupted vitae, painting the earth in its vivid crimson. Such a view would be beautiful if Victoire's magic wasn't the apex of unholiness. Crimson roses; as beautiful as they are tragic. Nevertheless, such beauty was fleeting. Just like roses are born, bloom and wither so did the Dragon as soon as Farris' divine smite rained upon it.

The destruction of the Dragon also expunged the remaining Demon Roses from the rest of the battlefield. Looks like Victoire's magic had finally worn off after her last creation was defeated. A wind as cold as death itself blew the withering petals away, sealing the Angels' victory, unless... any more opposition was left.

Other Events

"..." Victoire raised her head silently, looking into the distance, far beyond Pandemonium's walls. For a moment she seemed upset —or was it sad?— before turning to face the remainder of Hell's leadership. "It seems like our efforts were in vain," she said in a low voice, "Excuse me, I must... rest now. Even if our efforts were void, I gave it all that I had. The fatigue is catching up with me," Victoire added.

She curtsied graciously —though, not as pompously— once more before walking away from the Hell's throne room. On her way out of the Demon Fortress, Victoire tried to avoid contact with anyone else. The Blood Countess was visibly upset. There was no telling what could happen if she was disturbed now.

"Well, this place looks kinda neat," Diana said as Suparna and she explored the frozen lands. A metallic sound ringing loud and rhythmically on her ears came from the direction the two of them took called Diana's attention. As the two of them approached the busy square, it became evident that it was the workshop of a blacksmith. Weapons and armor hung from the same eaves as horseshoes and spades, a testament to Asgard's lifestyle.

Other shops and businesses, like an inn-tavern that looked more like a celebration hall, lined themselves along the road, all leading to what seemed to be the core of this settlement: A great stone building whose entrance was flanked on each side by statues of the Angel of Death carved in polished obsidian, which was so prevalent in these volcanic lands. "I don't know about you, but if I were looking for directions, that would be the place I'd go first," Diana commented kinda goofily as the two of them walked around.

This new character is ok on my end. Wait for @TheWindel's word.

It's fine. Don't worry.

I'll get a post pretty much likely tomorrow.

I was planning to do so today but an acquaintance roped me on a 6 hours long Dr. Who marathon.

My day simply disappeared.

@KoL Same battlefield. Aka, she doesn't get to fire if she's not in the battle, or if dead, or something like that.

Oh wait, thought you were talking about the revenge fire.

As for with her allies for the normal function.. Er, I dunno, same range as her sister's aoe buffs I suppose.

@The 42nd Gecko

I see. That's alright, then.

The War of the Three

@The 42nd Gecko

How close to Tsukuyomi do the other allies/her sisters need to be to activate the extra shots of this ability?

The War of the Three

@TheWindel
Reflect thy Boon basically is just an inversion of faction effects.

So instead of Demons -> Machina -> Angels -> Demons, it's flipped the other way, becoming Demons <- Machina <- Angels <- Demons.

Can be easily removed though, if you would like to do that.

@Banana

Better remove it. Because, just like I said, it doesn't go like this. Amaterasu would simply be strong against the Machina and Demons, getting far too imbalanced for my tastes.

The War of the Three

@floodtalon

What Windel said.

@Banana

What Windel said. I didn't get the usage of that power as well, even what it's really intended to do because the description conflicts with itself in a few places.

For the mirror's reflection, I'd like it to have a chance of breaking if she ever tries to reflect something what's too power like, say an attack from a machina superweapon, for example. That makes a lot more sense. Also, why is it able to reflect physical attacks? Just energy (in whatever form) and magic would make far more sense.

As it seems, she was geared a bit too much as being an anti-Machina Angel. As always, reverse counters like those have to very scrutinized since she would be strong against two factions, instead of just one. It feels quite a bit unfair.

@The 42nd Gecko

What Windel said.

In addition to it, I'd like to see the limits of those Rice Cakes (so that we don't have someone running around with endless Senzu Beans, sans heal part). I wouldn't even mind the heal, if they were limited in use, in fact. The idea is good but feels a bit too Nebulous.

Atalanta

"Tsc," Atalanta clicked her tongue just as the other Archer spoke. "That is an awfully bad attitude. You cannot blame Keisuke for treating you equally to the rest of us. If nothing else, a true Heroic Spirit would be flattered to have their name recognized and spoken," the leonine Archer lectured her peer, seeping the typical pride of a Heroic Spirit from the Age of the Gods.

The discussion about the worthy of Hero's name had to wait though. Soon enough, they were attacked by a Sea Serpent. They had to take it down while Medea kept the ship on course with her wind magic. Nobunaga opened fire first, the thunderous roaring of her rifles, was enough to bring a frown out of Atalanta, who could never understand why mankind abandoned the gracious bounty of Apolo and Artemis and surrendered themselves to such loud and dirty weapons like firearms. That said, she didn't have the time for such musings at the moment.

With a quick swipe of her hand, Atalanta summoned her goddess' bow, nocking a pair of arrows to it. She didn't have time for a full draw, so a killing shot wasn't likely to happen. With that in mind, Atalanta positioned her bow in the horizontal and shot, aiming for the beast's eyes. They didn't necessarily have to kill it. Just compelling the beast to run would be fair enough.

After her first shot, Atalanta turned to Medea and asked, "Did you not say that the Gods cannot exert their influence upon the world? Why is it that one of Poseidon's beasts attacked us as soon as we left the port?" Atalanta didn't want to sound like she was doubting Medea again —there was no point in that— but this situation smelled fishy; Atalanta didn't even need to have a lion's nose to notice that.
