In the distance a lone fox woman used her onyx Bladed Bo Staff as a form of entertainment as she spun it between the two rings between her two index fingers.
Despite doing that her gaze was still upon the action in front of herself - though honestly it wasn’t going too well. Since Fuka’s shield was all but gone she could hardly help since even if her holy powers weren’t weak (no god meant no buffs) it wouldn’t help much. They also figured that if a glancing blow could completely ruin the high-quality shield it wasn’t a smart move to actively charge towards the enemy.
This left the tank with an inability to really tank thus just threw the occasional [Holy Slash] toward the {Void Beast} to try to at least readjust the attacks of the creature. Lyada was also in a similar position as she danced around with her rapier drawn; sending constant wind infused strikes into the {Void Beast} even if it achieved very little. Even her own little descendent could only do too much as she danced around just like the bunny girl - her sword blocking the mighty blows from the claws while her sword glanced over whenever the fake tails thrust out in an attempt to erase her.
The blade intent managed to ‘erase the void’ but it only seemed to make the creature more assured on it’s goal to erase her. Alexis also couldn’t help but chuckle softly seeing how the little pup constantly would unconsciously position herself between her allies ready to leap in anytime an attack seemed like it would land on them. The girl didn’t even seem to realise her own actions as she did it all without intention - clearly her strong instincts coming into play make the fox smile.
Still a few slices here and there may as well mean nothing to the powerful {Void Beast} else they wouldn’t be so feared. They weren’t too impressive if not for their ‘void attacks’ combined with ‘void body’ making them hard to kill or defend against - unless you were approaching the peak of ‘weapon cultivation’ not much could be done. As impressive as Eel’s inherited intent was, she could only do so much with the borrowed power from her bloodline. If it wasn’t for her amazing regeneration in addition to vitality there was no way that the constant attacking, blocking & dodging would’ve long left her with nothing in the tank.
Despite that, the smile never left the hunter's face as she constantly jumped about the battlefield while doing something none of the other girls dared to do as a claw barely missed her… She charged straight towards the beast with a smile upon her face. Running to the ‘growling maws’ of the {Void Beast} she reeled back her spear for a moment as intent infused itself into the tip - she was well aware magic based attacks wouldn’t do much either for a slash from her sword.
If that was the case she would just need to keep attacking it until it couldn’t fight anymore!
To achieve this she recollected a certain spear art from a certain knightness sovereign. Yet when she began to mirror the motions she recalled those nine tails came from behind the creature making it so Eel had to quickly jump back or end up… Well, as nothingness, since it seemed like being hit by the void only created more void. She couldn’t help but click her tongue with impatience while raising her sword to block the claw coming from the side as she was once again sent flying over to Promicarus who seemed to be happily talking to Emily.
With that scene Alexis couldn’t help but let out a laugh while tilting her head towards the sky with a foxy yet graceful grin.
“Ho~ her way of using her spear reminds me quite a bit of you Sohn-Tochter. Yet so does her unconscious decision to do everything herself. Perhaps you both have a lot you could learn from each other due to that~?” <Alexis>
In a less flashy than usual manner (literally considering she usually appeared as lightning), the mighty {Sovereign of Storms} slowly materialised from the clouds up in the sky. This time she actually appeared without her armour on revealing her true appearance under the armour with the only thing marking her identity being that spear. This spear she held in her left hand while the right hand rested under her just as mature bust that appeared to sag softly with its impressive size… Not as large as the fox but mature enough to fit her profile.
The outfit she wore was a indigo one piece dress with a fur collar - the skirt open in a slit manner to reveal her long legs - while a black glove covered her entire right arm. Her slender left hand was soft to the sight despite the faint sign of age upon her eye which gazed upon the hatchling who was currently making a ‘suggestion’ to the bleach blonde. Still her face's passive expression refused to change or even twitch.
The most notable thing would be the noble aura that exudes from every fibre of her mature and beautiful appearance - making it clear why Sohn-Tochter was the one called {The Queen} - while her face and voice held no emotion.
Her expressions are seemingly as void as the {Void Beast}.
“She wields her spear like a child with a pointy stick.” <Sohn-Tochter>
The woman's plump lips were a painted flush regal blue with her visible eye being the exact same colour in both iris & eye shadow. Even her shoulder length straight blue hair was the exact same colour - her fringe being expectly led to cover the other side of her face though so it was hard to tell if it was true for both eyes.
“Oh~ well she is a child with a pointy stick so I would say she’s doing pretty well for her age then wouldn’t you ohohoho~?” <Alexis>
“True as Mother’s godhood I suppose - at least compared to the mortal’s in both the continents she is far ahead in terms of age. She had nice form when it came to her attempted thrust yet she isn’t fast enough to get the attack in unfortunately. For someone who’s just started using two weapons she is also showing great dexterity.” <Sohn-Tochter>
“Oh~ you seem to like her Ms {Dragon-Slaying Spear}~?” <Alexis>
Despite Alexis’ delighted words one wouldn’t think that was the case since the way the woman in question spoke was just as emotionless as always. If one didn’t know her they would believe she was uncaring about the girl and merely answered in response to Alexis. Still it was very clear to Alexis that the seemingly emotionless woman was anything but.
“I’m merely stating the truth as an observer; the girl has potential. Unfortunately the {Void Beast} is already too strong for her to deal with by herself so it seems that I shoul-” <Sohn-Tochter>
“You’re a bit eager to call it over though I suppose it’s natural as an older sister that you’d act this way. Still do you see that look on her face? Even if she did need your help she would refuse it since you’d be ruining her fun - when was the last time you did anything for fun~?” <Alexis>
Despite being shot backwards Eel took little time recuperating before she once again continued her dance with the {Void Beast}. It had already managed to mimic the shape of a {Nine-Tailed Fox} quite well at this point and it was slowly becoming more agile making it harder for Lyada to keep up - this meant even more focus was being put on Eel. Yet this time Promicarus lifted her two hands up for two large ‘ice spears’ to form before she lowered her hands to slam down into the creature's claws to pin them. Strangely the beast let out a ‘groan’ of pain as it seemed these spears bypassed it’s defence.
This wasn’t important to Eel as jumped to dodge the desperate tails that came flying down before finally having that head right in front of herself.
“[Triple Thrust]!” <Eel>
With that three intent fused thrusts collided with the {Void Beast}’s head…
However considering it had no real head that just resulted in not much difference other than the intent coursing through a larger area. This meant she technically did more damage to the creature yet it showed no signs of dying as it tore it’s claws out from the spears. It proceeded to clap with Eel only managing to dodge thanks to a Promicarus throwing a black string around her waist to yank her backwards into an awaiting Fuka’s grip. Seeing that Sohn-Tochter closed her eyes before slowly answering.
“Never.” <Sohn-Tochter>
