Those beams of golden light split upon contact with the first ice block, redirected to the four sheets waiting further down the street, each time those beams touched a new sheet of ice the spell woven into them took the mana from the contact points, amplifying themselves and imbuing them with a frosty chill despite being, well, light.
And now, instead of just a frost chill, the beams had a pinkish hue to them as well, the Lust Mana inside my magic now further empowering the spell Jahi had casted as she allowed the beam to go on for another second, creating a long, thick stream of light that traveled towards Tza'Orbias almost instantly.
As it traveled through the air, arcing between the street and bouncing from mirror to mirror before streaming through focusing lens, the spell that Leone had set up began to activate as well, a spell we had seen before back when she first activated her True Vampire form all that time ago.
Back in the fight against 'Lord Pele' the Draconis, she had summoned pillars of flame that she used to trap and burn the ignorant Lord into nothing more than a crisp; then, they had been impressive pillars of fire that threatened to burn everything, but looking back, they hadn't been truly impressive since they lacked the finesse and power that Leone had now, which made this spell all the more terrifying as we saw it again.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Each spear turned into a towering tornado of flame that began to spin faster and faster as they absorbed the mana and oxygen around themselves to burn stronger, slowly tearing their way towards the bound Fiend and layering the impending doom it must have felt as everything came crumbling down around it.
Missing an arm, burned on the back thanks to Ammit's lightning, bound to the ground by Anput's chains and Torii Gates, and covered in various wounds that sapped its strength, the once proud Tza'Orbias had been humbled quickly, and now all it could do was watch as beams of amplified, focused Light Mana and tornados of slowly whitening flames approached it far faster than my spears had.
The beams connected first, slicing into its flesh and causing its skin to bubble as its weakness to Light Mana was displayed, each beam cutting cleanly through its muscles, tissues, bones, and organs, slicing off parts of its body and severely lacerating the rest, while the intense heat found within the beams began to ignite its flesh, burning it and drawing out screams as the Light Mana got to work.
Each beam lasted for two seconds, which sounds short but gave me more than enough time to rotate the lenses freely and cut the Fiend into pieces, parts of its body smacking against the ground with a wet thud as its blood poured out freely, staining the cobblestones below blue.
As I cut the Fiend apart proxy Jahi's lasers, Leone's hellish pillars closed in and merged together overtop the kneeling Fiend, burning the oxygen straight inside his lungs and not allowing him to make a sound as his flesh began to melt, the intensity of the flames illuminating the entire city whilst melting my mirrors in mere moments; everyone leapt back and protected themselves with their mana as they watched the True Vampire control this tornado with no issues, it power frightening.
The cobblestone ground began to melt into magma, whilst the glass panels that were lucky enough to remain during the battle began to drip, eventually sliding free from their spots and crashing to the ground, joining the magma and adding to the superheated soup that was the street; stone, brick, glass, and all of the bodies of the Cultists melted beneath this tornado, leaving nothing behind as Leone made sure there would be nothing left of this Fiend.
The flames consumed everything, shrouding our view of the Fiend as it was bathed in a sea of white flame; whilst we couldn't see it now, when we saw it last inside the fiery vortex it's flesh was melting, revealing the bone beneath.
For better or worse, Leone was burning this Fiend down to nothing...
Sure, it was an abundance of materials waiting to be utilized, but were those materials worth risking such a powerful enemy surviving and potentially coming back to fight us?
No, no it wasn't, so we watched as Leone used her magic to consume the area in white flames, until eventually nothing was left.
As the tornado slowly began to dwindle into just three white spears, we saw that there actually was something left; the silver ring and blue orb were steaming, but they remained intact atop the magma, which quickly hardened as I bathed the area in Ice Mana, counteracting the damage done by Leone's Fire Mana.
The True Vampire stepped forwards to retrieve it, only to pause and look back as Cali tutted and said "Nuh-uh~! Don't touch it lest you want to test your mental fortitude against something a few dozen times older than yourself~! Besides..."
Blinking forwards, Cali elegantly reached down and picked up the silver ring, a smile tugging at her lips as she turned back towards us and raised it up, before wrapping her fingers around the orb.
"Wouldn't you like to see a trick~?"
Without waiting for a reply, Cali clenched her fist and shattered the orb, her hand flaring pink as she destroyed the orb completely, allowing the ring to fall harmlessly to the ground as she tossed the dust into the air, revealing the fragmented shape of Tza'Orbias, who was trying desperately to run away.
"Look~! So much for being an impressive listener to your Sedis~! The world might listen to you sometimes, but you can't work with it like he did, Orbias. No one can. That's why HE is a Sedis, and you aren't even an Arch Fiend. If you had listened, you'd have understood that while the world might listen... it doesn't care about you at all. You are just another piece of it, and it owes you nothing. Now... perish."
Enveloping the fragmented Fiend in her mana, Cali grinned as she watched Tza'Orbias squirm beneath the blanket of pink, trying to throw it off only to scream silently as she squeezed the remnants of the Fiend into nothing, killing it.
[Fiend Tza'Orbias has been killed!]
[Congratulations, Kat... another one felled, yet there remains so very many far more powerful than this one. Please... be careful.]
Blinking, I felt my crest go cold, causing me to gasp as all the mana that Cali had gifted me drained away, returning to its true Mistress, who was still grinning as she stared at me, those pink eyes holding a single question.
'What are you going to do now~?'
