Chapter 464: Anatalien
Mad Flaming Sky
Anatalien felt a sharp pain pierce through her head as her Domain was broken, and another world came into being around her. Smoke from the real space filled back in, suffocating her, the heat returned too making her body ache. The ring on her finger had a crack in it, and she knew that they couldn't take this for much longer. Her senses told her that Sigmund's veil around them was still in place, no one knew what was happening. So no one would come to help them. They had trapped themselves in with Awirren, thinking that they would overcome her quickly.
Now Sigmund had lost an arm, and she had nearly exhausted herself. He flew to the side, using potions to stop blood loss and heal as much as he could. They had been wrong in their estimates.
The Sky around her filled with fire and smoke, and Tali knew that she would get weaker again. She had to act. Her willpower was a roaring storm inside of her, and yet it still couldn't overcome the madness twisted will that held Awirren. It was as if she was trying to take hold of something so disassociated from reality that she couldn't even touch it. And every part of Awirren and her powers was tinged with a meaning that Tali was certain came directly from her Soul. It empowered everything about her, made her Essence so hard to overcome.
She knew that she couldn't let Awirren take charge of this battle, and as the phoenix spread her wings above, Tali rushed at her.
She flew, getting closer as fast as she possibly could. Awirren was a black flaming point in the Sky that had darkened, light dimmed, as if it was late dusk. Fire streamed around her as wind currents, circling her in an insane display that made Tali's skill unable to track anything near Awirren. The heat was overbearing, threatening to ignite the very air around them. Space was fraying, so much so that Tali's eyes saw Light coming in and out, as if its direct line of passage was being bent or interrupted.
Awirren's Qi surged, and a mirror image of the phoenix appeared over her shaped out of black fire, her technique then surged down, diving at Tali.
She reached inside of her and activated her Ideal, the only thing she hoped would be able to stop Awirren's power.
Empty Sky
A blast of power exploded from her, it hit Awirren's technique, and after a moment of struggle pushed it back, alongside everything else. The smoke and heat, the sound and fire, everything was blown away from Tali, creating a bubble of emptiness where the only thing present was the purest Essence of the Sky, just Air and Light.
The expanding bubble hit Awirren, sending her flying higher into the sky, the fires around her stifling under the effect of Tali's ideal.
And as Awirren reached the boundary of the Sky, so high up above, Tali reached with all of her willpower. Her boosted willpower might not have been enough to directly overcome Awirren and blow her up from the inside in an instant, but that did not make it weaker.
She pushed all of it into her skill, and pointed spread her wings facing the Sky above.
|I Shatter the Sky|
Her will bleed into the world through her skill, and the world obeyed. A crack formed high above, and then it spread in an instant, from the top of the sky to the ground itself. It pierced through Awirren and the Sky broke apart.
The boundary shattered in a display much like breaking glass. Void spilled through like a river. The space that comprised the sky split along the crack, and other Realms surged in, each force encountering the other and detonating in a display of power far beyond anything that Tali had ever managed to accomplish before.
Awirren's cry filled the air as her body was in the middle of the forces of reality breaking apart.
It was a cacophony of reactions, a display of light and force that sent a shockwave in all directions. Tali was blasted back as it smashed into her, and she used her skills to control the wind around her, controlling her body. She sensed Sigmund struggling and caught him too, bringing them both closer to the ground and safety.
Once she had managed to stop her body from spinning, she looked above and saw what she had done. It looked like a stem, a darkness at the center filled with colors at the edges, rising from the ground with rainbow leaves growing out of it, with the flower spreading at the end above. A break in the wall of the Sky, with Void slowly falling down like petals. Reality had broken apart in that area and she knew that it would be dangerous for anyone to even try and approach.
She noticed Awirren's body tumbling through the air, the blast sending her in an arc away from her skill, and then she hit the ground hard.
She glanced at Sigmund, and the two of them made their way over. She lost her Evolved Form, her Qi and willpower nearly spent. With the last of her Qi, she shaped a technique, just in case.
The reached the crater, and from high above they looked down. Awirren had lost her Evolved Form too, her body was battered and twisted almost beyond recognition. She was missing her wings, and one of her legs, while the other was a mangled mess. Half of her feathers were gone, and those that remained were a bloody mess. Her beak was cracked, and one eye was out of its socket, lying on her cheek.
Awirren's head turned, and her remaining eye locked onto Tali.
"No, no, no, no," she whispered in a mad ramble. Tali closed her eyes and remembered who she used to be, then raised her hand and formed a technique as a killing blow.
"The sky is mine," Awirren groaned out. "Only mine."
Tali dropped her hand and released her technique, a wave of Qi surged forward to explode against her enemy. And then Awirren's body surged. It started to glow and her Qi winked out, as she started to laugh.
Tali's eyes widened, as she felt Awirren's Soul and the emotions bleeding out of it, the madness that it was infected with.
She reached for Sigmund, caught him and beat her wings, but she wasn't fast enough.
A pillar of black fire erupted from below, a force so great that the world whined and her mind blacked out for a second. Her powers winked out as she tried to use her skills to carry them away. And the black flame raced up to them.
She knew that they wouldn't survive it, she could feel the intense heat and knew that the fire would kill them the instant it touched them. It was over, and as her thoughts accelerated, slowing down the passage of time, she knew that Ryun was right. Her revenge wasn't worth it.
She turned to look at Sigmund, one last time, and saw that his mouth was open, mid speech.
Her mind caught up to the world around her, and she heard what he said.
"LIVE."
Then fire swallowed them whole.
