In a fraction of a second, B3 understood what Atropos did and heightened her guard. The Olympian somehow cut the connection she had to the drone leaving her incapable of controlling its movements. It wasn't the same as the signal being jammed; B3's drones were guided through a mental connection, one that should be impossible to intercept or block.
She withdrew the two remaining original drones, opting to use the ones she created through her halo.
The Olympian was closing in on them with terrifying speed. Her movements were hard to keep up with even for the Valkyries, however the red drones found no trouble firing at their target, all thanks to B3's unique ability.
Still, nothing seemed to slow Atropos. She increased the output of her force field and took the lasers head on, deflecting them with minimum effort. She swung her sword at seemingly empty air only for B3 to lose control of the red drones she conjured, which led to them disintegrating into particles of light moments later.
Sitta put up a barrier in anticipation of the Atropos' attack, but when her focus shifted her hold on the barrier trapping the other three Olympians faltered. Perseus raised his staff, the crystal decorating it glowing with blue light as runes formed around it.
"Daedalus." He said.
"Alright!"
The short man raised his orb and deactivate the barrier protecting him and his allies. Almost immediately Sitta's barrier shrunk down threatening to crush them in a matter of seconds, that's when the runes around Perseus' staff began spinning and a wave of light exploded from it, a single pulse shattering the barrier like a layer of thin ice.
[Wha-]
The Valkyrie didn't have the chance to be surprised as Atropos launched one of her white disks forward, splitting it into the four parts that form the panel she used to pass through barriers the first time. Limited Rift separates what's inside the blue lines from what's inside, and with the barrier covering the outside part the inside becomes hollow creating an opening for Atropos to pass through. The second desk shot forward passing through the opening and past B3 before it opened up and created another rectangle. Blue lines spread out connecting the eight parts and just when Atropos passed through the first opening the translucent blue panels formed creating a long tunnel isolating the Olympian and the Valkyrie in red armor.
[B3!]
[Calm down.] B3 said. [focus on the other three.]
It was unlike Sitta to shout so it startled her quite a bit. B3 didn't seem to lose her calm despite being isolated from her allies with the strange crimson blade heading her way. The drones hovering behind her collapsed into small particles, however they didn't disappear, instead gathering before the Valkyrie to form a new weapon.
[You sure it was a good idea?] She said, holding her arm out into the cloud of particles. [You got nowhere to run now.]
The 23rd dimension, as the Olympians call it, is one of the most versatile dimensions that exist out there. It's filled with only one element many call the Nameless Element. It's a particle of unstable, ever-changing nature that takes on the properties of different elements, changing from one to the other over time for no apparent reason.
Using their halos, the Valkyries are able to draw a certain amount of the Nameless Element from the 23rd dimension, changing and stabilizing them into the desired elements then using them to create anything they desire.
With the inside of the tunnel isolated front he outside B3 couldn't obtain enough Nmeless Element to construct new weapons, that's why she collapsed the drones she created beforehand -a process that normally should've sent them back to their original dimension- and manipulated them to form something new.
The red mist concentrated and hardened, materializing into a colossal cannon larger than the young Valkyrie's petite body. Time seemed to stop as Atropos saw the crimson armor disappearing behind a glowing barrel, deadly sparks shining in the depths of its bore. Her eyes widened as she realized her Limited Rift had left her with nowhere to run to, but by the time she began to consider whether to deactivate the ability or not the whole tunnel was flooded with destructive light which forced her hand.
"You almost got me." Atropos said, appearing right beside B3 and preparing her sword for an upward swing from a low angle.
The blast from the cannon had yet to end which left the young Valkyrie in red stunned, incapable of teleporting to a safe distance. Sitta and Ichigo moved to create barriers, however a pulse washed over them causing the invisible walls to shatter.
"It was fun while it lasted."
[You still don't get it, do you?]t
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm The ground split up and red bars jutted out blocking the crimson blade. The smile disappeared from Atropos' face and her eyes became serious. The original drones came down on her a moment later and she was once again forced to retreat to a safe distance.
As the light from its blast vanished, B3 tossed the colossal cannon aside and stared at her opponent. Atropos wasn't the only one though. Perseus was still ready to use his ability to break Sitta's barriers, and the small man sitting on the giant's shoulders seemed to be planning something as well.
[I have been going easy on you, you know.]
Small squares and rectangles flickered into existence, surrounding the Valkyrie in red armor and the two standing behind her. The ground began shaking, splitting up as more mechanical constructs gradually rose from under the dirt. Walls made from the glowing red material appeared one after the other, filling the gaps between giant pillars that reached high into the sky. The burning forest was filled with the mechanical sounds of a giant factory operating hundreds of machines at the same time.
In less than a minute, a giant armored fortress appeared around the three Valkyries, its walls towering over the Olympians menacingly as if to show how insignificant they were. Heavy artillery filled peered down from above, with cannons of every type, both physical and energy-based, all pointed in a single direction. Hundreds of shutters hatched open revealing many more, with drones and missiles ready to be launched at any moment.
As the Olympians stood frozen, overwhelmed by the magnitude of the small Valkyrie's creation, a loud sound announced the start of the bombardment.
[Time to get serious.]
