Pov Ibuki:
Alice appears and looks in my direction for only half a second before advancing against Baldr, on her side were the 3 Heroes of Zenos, advancing together.
I remain hidden, as Baldr is now considered an Outside creature by the universe, he is being repressed to so degree by this Universal and because of that, I know that his senses are greatly weakened, even though he is stronger than , he still won't be able to find .
"(I don't like his light.)" (Night Shadow)
"His power and existence are completely based on my Divinity where the Shadow Elent rules, light is its opposite and he was the forr God of Light." ()
"(When we attack, I want to kill him.)" (Night Shadow)
"Wait a little longer, I don't think we can kill him, but I will cause as much damage as possible." ()
Baldr was too strong, I have no illusions about killing him, if he wants to escape, I don't believe anyone here could stop him, I also fear that he has beco stronger after becoming an Ascendant or he wouldn't have stopped being a God.
While talking to my swords, I couldn't help but pay attention to the battle in front of .
It was clear that Baldr wasn't fighting seriously, that didn't make sense, even if he was reserving power, he could have easily killed Irius and Lilith who were attacking him from close range, even Irina's barriers and Nicole's weapon interventions wouldn't be a hindrance to Baldr if he really wanted to kill them.
"(Is sothing not right...?)" ()
The more I observe the battle, the more apprehensive I beco about Baldr's plans, he was already a sneaky God of Light and sothing like an Ascendant must be doing things without restraint.
So he ca all this way to not kill anyone?
That wasn't possible, he hates us, he hates Zenos almost as much as he hates his mother, the Goddess Selene, yet he isn't even paying attention to Vanessa, even though she's Zenos' daughter and Selene's Saint.
That just ans he must have a plan more important than his personal hatred or he's reserving a greater destiny than simply death for us.
"I need to find out..." ()
I tried to pay attention to Baldr's Aura, his attacks and several of his actions, regardless of what he's planning, I can't believe he doesn't leave any trace.
A few minutes passed and I finally found it, I saw his attacks break up into particles of light, but these particles didn't disperse, these particles of light moved into the distance, gathering into a new star that, looking closely, had a different color from the other stars in this place, as well as a slightly different Aura.
Knowing this, I started observing the stars and found so more like that, but other than that, I can't understand anything else, so I didn't try. My study of magic is too focused on combat for to understand that kind of thing and maybe it's not even magic, so seek help from soone with a greater range of knowledge.
"Nicole, pay attention to the energy particles from Baldr's attacks and the stars that are at the coordinates I gave you." ()
"Don't let Baldr notice any of this." ()
"[I'll take a look.]" (Nicole)
--------------------
Suddenly I noticed a change, even though I warned Nicole to be careful, she released hundreds of Divine Crystals made from Zenos' Blood, then she activated a magic that converges all the Divine Crystals into a large Holy Magic invading her body.
I know what technique she is using, I once asked her to use this technique with to train my skills.
"[If you want to attack him, this will be your biggest chance, I don't have ti to wait!]" (Nicole)
"Damn it!" ()
This ti I moved as soon as Baldr's attention turned to Nicole by her big move, because of that I was able to get closer to him while storing power and pulling Night Shadow back into my hands.
"< Holy Awakening Magic: Angel of War >" (Nicole)
Nicole's entire body was sent into a blaze of stellar flas as her body expanded and changed completely, her clothes burned as they beca tal armor, her wings appeared on her back burning as tal wings were revealed underneath, her eyes turned black with two red circles inside each other, her hair beca ethereal as the energy around her seed to beco solid, two large cannons appeared in her hands, her wings opened upwards as a current of energy ran through them in resonance, a magic circle ford below her as 6 tal rings rose around her, carrying large amounts of energy.
From Nicole's transformation to the creation of so many weapons, everything happened in extrely fast seconds, with Nicole soon pointing all the weapons in different positions that made Baldr's eyes narrow, a strong killing intent erging in her Aura.
"< Law of Light: Solar Supernova >" (Baldr)
"< Unholy Magic: Shadow Path Annihilation >" ()
Nicole was aiming at the stars Baldr was creating, this alerted him that he was already exposed and his eyes focused on Nicole to stop her, this was the perfect mont to attack.
Baldr's wings glow as he places both hands with the palms facing each other with a small space between his hands.
Soon the space distorts as a strong light forms a Rune of power of the Ascendant Law condensed between his hands that makes fear arise within .
While Baldr was channeling his technique ready to attack Nicole, I was already attacking him, my Divinity channeling all its power into my swords while a magic circle forms behind emanating constant streams of dark energy that I make flow into the swords.
I was behind his head and my target wasn't his vital points, it was his wings, it was more than obvious that the wings are responsible for the Ascendants' center of power, since I can't kill him with my current power, I'll weaken his power for as long as possible.
"Finally decided to show up, Divine Brat!?" (Baldr)
"Damn it!" ()
"< Shoot >" (Nicole)
"< Holy Magic: Hidden Hand >" (Loki)
In the middle of my attack Baldr was already turned towards and my back went cold, he wasn't aiming at Nicole, he was aiming at the whole ti.
He smiles as his shining Law Rune cos towards like a thin beam of energy, but before it could hit my body I disregarded my original place to be in the middle of the army of converts, so I continued swinging my swords devastating them.
Nicole continued her attack and destroyed most of the stars in her first attack before starting a second attack directly against Baldr who seed irritated with a burnt convert in front of him, it must be the one Loki made to switch places with .
"< Divine Magic: Gate of the Holy Blood >" (Vanessa)
"I'll let you free this ti!" (Baldr)
"< Law of Light: Path of the King >" (Baldr)
Vanessa soon appears in front of everyone, her Aura emanating a strong, growing Divine power as her blood evaporates from her body quickly forming a curtain of red mist above her.
Baldr wasted no ti being surrounded by light that obstructed our vision before disappearing in a flash of light that crossed the rift in space before any of us could react.
Without Baldr here, Natasha erges from the curtain of red mist smiling in the direction of the rift, it seems that it was not the Goddess Selene coming to our aid.
--------------------
Pov Alice:
After Baldr and the other Ascendants left, Natasha helped heal Okan while we eliminated all the Converts left behind.
Now I was with Vanessa, Ibuki, Nicole and Natasha in a room inside the mansion, discussing what had just happened.
"So those stars that Baldr was creating?" ()
"I don't know what they were doing exactly, but extrapolating from their positions it looked like a magic circle of so kind and it was almost complete, that's why I acted so quickly." (Nicole)
"Show us the diagram of the magic circle." (Vanessa)
Nicole raises a hand and a small sphere of energy expands on a flat screen for all of us where an incomplete magic circle was shown.
"I don't know that magic." (Vanessa)
"I have no idea either." (Natasha)
"That magic circle isn't in my databases, so I'll give it to Erica to research." (Nicole)
"That's good, but what are we going to do with Baldr, he's back and he seems to have many Ascendants on his side." ()
"With Baldr back, the traitorous Gods must rally to his side once more." (Ibuki)
"Everything is getting worse..." ()
Baldr returning is bad enough, but if the Ascendants launch an invasion now that most of the Dragons are gone, it will be bad, very bad, not to ntion that they are not ones to wage direct war, their sches so far have been extrely dangerous for this universe.
"(You have to go back... Zenos...?)" ()
