The sky split apart in cascading trails of starlight.
Above the Adrastia Continent, within the sealed dome of the Territorial Domain, a battle of cataclysmic proportions unfolded.
The skies were rivers of gold, emerald, violet, and starlight, churning as though the heavens themselves were at war.
Azuryan the Verdant Flame, once aloof, calm, and untouchable, was now fully transformed.
Her humanoid form bore the majesty of millennia. Skin like carved jade laced with veins of flame, wings of green fire spanning mountains in width, and nine flaming tails trailing behind her like spears of vengeance.
Her claws shimmered with Celestbone fury, her eyes burning brighter than ever.
And against her- calm, relentless, glowing with evolving brilliance- stood Achilles Adrastia Maxwell!
He did not move with haste. His halberd shimmered beside him, its petals rotating slowly. His body floated within the heart of golden time and glorious evolution.
He had cast it moments ago.
