Keiran, Ciella and Saito watched the unfolding events through Ciella's and my eyes.
"It's the Weaver Of Calamity again. This time he's acting through the remnants of his army" Keiran explained the situation to Saito and Ariel.
"We'll head over to you guys immediately, San, Ciella!" Saito called.
"The goal of this trial is to protect the Fruit Crops from the Weaver Of Calamity's Army. If you head over to us, you might give him a trail to the Crops you've discovered. Stay put" I cautioned them.
"But you're in danger! The crops can't possibly be worth more than your lives San, Ciella!" Saito yelled angrily.
"They are worth our lives Saito. Remember what Dad said" I advised them.
"You'll basically be hunting for edible fruits while your HP continues to drop. However this time…the Weaver Of Calamity's Army will be hunting you as well. You'll need to gather a bunch of edible fruits before the Weaver Of Calamity's Army destroys all the crops" Saito recalled as her eyes widened in horror.
"The crops represent our sustenance. If they die, we die. There are two ways the Weaver Of Calamity can take us out. One way is to defeat us in battle and the second is to destroy the Crops…our sustenance and wear down our stamina" I explained the situation to Saito.
"Then what do we do?" Saito asked.
"You'll need to consider affinity amongst yourselves if you choose to split up into teams and you'll need to consider your own strengths and limitations before confronting any of the Weaver Of Calamity's forces. Above all of these however, you'll need to communicate as an effective team" Saito recalled our Mom's words.
"I'm not saying you shouldn't help…but do it from within Dad's Zone" my words echoed in Saito's mind.
"I get it. We've got to help you guys while minimizing the potential for casualties. In that case…I'll use my ability" Saito said.
Saito Kusanagi Nightbane, the first daughter of the first Dreamweaver Just Zan Nightbane and the Flame Knight now Princess Of Dreams Ayumi Kirisawa, my sister, had been entrusted with the sacred duty of overseeing the rest of my siblings during battles thanks to her maturity and perceptiveness. Publicly, she's known by the other Dream Knights to possess the Level One Sigil, Pyromancers however…she has another ability gifted to her by her affinity for flame.
"I SAITO KUSANAGI NIGHTBANE! TRUE SUCCESSOR TO THE FLAMING PATH OF COURAGE DO UPGRADE MY SIGIL PYROMANCERS TO LEVEL ZERO! AWAKEN SHINSEI RYUUENJINN!" Saito called out.
A great discharge of Flame from the Sun descended and bonded itself to Saito's Shadow.
"It hath been long since I last heeded summons from the Kirisawa Bloodline. Why do you awaken me human child?" a great fiery dragon materialized from Saito's Shadow and spoke.
"You summoned Shinsei Ryuuenjinn. I see what you intend to do. It might work" Keiran said.
Shinsei Ryuuenjinn, the Guardian Of The Kirisawa House Of Dream Knights. At her current level of ability…
"At thine current level of ability thou canst only utilize five of mine strikes. What dost thou will?" Shinsei Ryuuenjinn asked.
"With your first strike, I wish to transfer half of my stamina to San and Ciella" Saito said.
"With your second strike, transfer half of my stamina to them" Keiran said.
"And with your third strike, do same with mine" Ariel said.
Ciella and I felt a boost in our physical ability.
"Saito, check the current rate of our Psychological Compatibility" I said.
"Current overall Psychological Compatibility at fifty-seven percent. Calculating potential backlash. Potential Psychological Strain at forty three percent" the Pyrostellis Luminares spoke within our minds.
"Draw out my strength and balance it amongst my comrades until Psychological Strain is completely nullified" I instructed the Pyrostellis Luminares.
"In order to do that effectively will require you to unlock the Seal Of Ryugaeia" the Pyrostellis Luminares spoke to me.
"SEAL OF JO-LAN UNLOCK! SEAL OF RYUGAEIA…UNLOCK!" I called out.
My siblings and Ciella felt an inflow of strength.
"San, the Omnicron in the Weaver Of Calamity's Army…" Saito tried to warn me.
"I know Saito, they specialize in spewing out energy based curses from their mouths whenever they're mounted by Giga-Wraiths. If we take out the riders, we can cripple that ability but if we don't take out the Omnicron as well we run the risk of being trampled by them. Don't worry…you won't have to bear the burden of supplying us with your own stamina for much longer. We'll finish this battle…in an instant. It's time to perform…the Savage Prance Of The Lion!" I called as I suddenly disappeared.
Ciella disappeared a moment after I leapt into the air towards the first Omnicron. I kneed it right in the throat instantly shattering its spine.
"ONE…!" I called out.
Ciella appeared right behind me and incinerated the Omnicron I had hit and its Giga-Wraith Rider with Blaze. I placed my hands on the back of the Omnicron I had just hit and somersaulted over it. Before it could hit the ground, I propelled myself off it and headed for the next Omnicron. Ciella looked around as she followed me. Everything appeared to be frozen.
"Whoa…so this is what it's like to look through San's eyes when he's engrossed in battle" Ciella wondered as a lariat knocked the second Omnicron's head clean off.
"TWO…!" I called as the force of my thrust carried me towards the third Omnicron.
Ciella followed behind me and incinerated the second Omnicron and its rider with Blaze. The defeated Omnicron and Giga-Wraiths faded away. I mounted the third Omnicron while delivering a double heel kick to the throat of the Giga-Wraith riding it. The Giga-Wraith was forcefully knocked off the back of the Omnicron.
"THREE…!" I called as I somersaulted and landed on the ground.
I crouched. Ciella followed close behind me and torched the third Omnicron. I concentrated all the force into my feet and charged forward. The force of the charge was so great I oscillated creating fifty clones in the process, one clone for each of the Weaver Of Calamity's forces.
"SAVAGE PRANCE OF THE LION!" I called as my knee and the knees of my clones crushed the throats of the remaining Omnicron in unison.
Moments later, Ciella appeared torching them with Blaze. As the remaining Wraith fell over, I could see the terror in its eyes as the Blaze burnt brilliantly about the Weaver Of Calamity's Army.
"He did all that in just an instant! You couldn't possibly be…Zanviel?!" the Wraith muttered in shock.
"The name's Sanziri Nightbane (Junior)!" I declared as I raised an arm and brought my elbow crushing down on the Giga-Wraith's spine.
The Weaver Of Calamity's forces disappeared.
"Saito, use the remaining two strikes of Shinsei Ryuuenjinn to draw out my stamina and replenish everyone else's" I breathed deeply.
"Okay, I'm glad you're okay San, Ciella" Saito said with a grateful sigh.
The Shadow masking my face gradually disappeared and my features reverted.
"So Ciella…you still game hunting for Fruit Bats?" I asked with a laugh.
"How can you be laughing after such a battle?" Ciella seemed surprised.
"What's done is done. Don't waste your time getting worked up over the details" I said.
"You took an Omnicron's head clean off. If I have any Nightmares because of this I'm blaming you San!" Ciella said and pinched my cheeks.
"Ouch!" I cried out in pain.
"Let's seek out those Fruit Bats" Ciella said with a smile.
