Everyone silently stared at the dome of darkness not knowing what to do.
The presence still lingering within the air had them in shock, many had already given up on going forward. A Royal was present, it was the absolute of a realm, an undefeatable existence to many within the crowd.
As is often thought, as there were those that were discouraged, others were burning with a fervent will to surmount the odds, to challenge the legend of the undefeatable Royal and such a chance had been presented to them.
"HAHAHA!!! Yes, this makes things interesting, hurry and finish with the small fries, Allow me to experience the strength of a Royal," his mad laugher woke everyone from their inner thoughts. One Mastiga looked at the dome with battle intent surging from his body.
Many were affected by his radiant will of battle, though now would come forth and say as such, but it had its intended effect of arousing their slumbering defiant wills.
Not everyone needed his wake up call as before he had even spoken there were those who had already taken a step forward and were already tearing through the army that stood before them.
"Not bad indeed, A will to fight against the odds and never submit is essential on the path that a Royal walks."
*Chirp chirp*
"Don't be hasty, even though he has some of the aura, that young one isn't a True Royal as of yet, although he is impressive in his own way; not many dear to do what he has done."
*Chirp chirp*
"So annoying, when you grow more you'll understand. Oh, look at that girl, a true battle prodigy."
*Boom*
An outburst of flames engulfed 10 meter area, burning all the apparition within its scope to ash.
Stimulated by the appearance of Vasilias, they held nothing back but even then they barely made a dent within the army.
The first hour swiftly passed and while the number of apparitions had dwindled, casualties and injuries had started to appear among the others. The fight wasn't without its benefits which was why even with all the death the battle still raged on.
Amore's hands and legs were wrapped in her flames, punching a hole through the chest of an approaching enemy, a kick served another at the waist. A step back dodged a spear of energy that tore through the enemy that was rushing to attack from her blind side.
Surrounded as she was, Amore toyed around all her enemies as if they were kids, none of her movements were wasted, each strike she made aimed to kill in one hit. It was as if she were dancing to a tune no one but her could hear and everyone around was pulled into the dance with no control over their own tempo.
"Haha yes, send out more, no one can grow without the tempering of blood, this is what I wanted so send out some more!"
Even with the distance between each battle field, everyone heard the words Amore shouted, as if the space itself wanted them all to hear her request and heard it did.
*Rumble*
The masses of energy shrunk at an accelerated rate as tens of apparitions formed from all the energy, no longer were they only of a singular color each, many of the newly appeared were mixed with two or more colors, signifying the different types of energy used in its creation.
Seeing the new and strengthened members of the army a killing intent surged within many towards the voice that caused the situation.
Said owner of the voice eyes were sparkling as she felt how powerful the new apparition was and as the wave of killing intent engulfed her, if possible her eyes seemed to have shone even brighter.
"Can't she try to behave like a normal person, no wonder they always let her out, to keep her at home would be an endless headache," Teresa sighed, looking at the jubilant Amore.
"Each time I go out with her, I feel like I lose years off my lifespan," Rian said, moving his battle a little closer to Amore in case of any unforeseen events. These people had whole heartedly aroused killing intent towards her, didn't know her background at all and wouldn't know the consequence of their actions until after the fact.
'Then again, the amount of people that pose an actual threat to her here aren't that many,' Rian thought as he smacked the mask of an apparition to bits with a fur covered fist.
*Shatter*
The sound was crisp in everyone's ears and they couldn't hide the look of delight at the Mastiga's face twisted with anger and hatred at the apparition before it, "Serves you right!"
*Chirp, Chirp*
"Shut up, that one for my own enjoyment," no sooner as they two started arguing again, the fight had kicked off once more.
This was the fight that Thirio walked into, with his eyes still active he saw masses of pure origin energy sparks fighting others.
'I wasn't expecting it to be so lively over here.'
'So much sparks, Thirio hurry and join the hunt, take as much as you can.'
Thirio was sure that the ball of flame was drooling from the sight laid out before them, he understood why thou, a spark was worth a lot no matter how small they were and some of the one's he was seeing were on the larger side.
Locking onto a target Thirio was about to attack when the screen appeared before him again, reminding him of the mission the Sin of Lust had given him.
"Lust is quite pushy but lets handle it as I fight and see if I find a worthy target. If I'm gonna do it, I'll do it damn well."
Charging at his previously locked onto target, dragon claw shaped gauntlets formed over Thirio's hands in seconds.
The unsuspecting apparition knew not what hit it before dissolving into specs, "I won't waste a thing, Kataplei."
The specs were sucked into the vortex of Thirio's trinity, " let's hunt little guy."
One, two, three…..
The number of apparitions falling to his hands rose quickly as with a short activation of his unique eyes, Thirio was able to pinpoint the best target to strike that would also provide him with the most benefits.
The spark within him was also growing with each dispatched apparition, it had already surpassed the size of many that were fighting for longer and harder than he was.
'These eyes are really convent, I need to spend more time digging deeper into their use.'
Vadne didn't respond as she was musing on the topic of his ocular ability as well, thinking back on all the unique ocular abilities she had read about from years passed, ' it should be one of the Star Eyes but I'm not able to pinpoint which one of them.'
*Tingle*
'Thirio, stop, stop, stop, my honed senses of perversion are picking up on a prime target for your mission.'
'Now isn't the time, Vadne!'
The small flame phased into being on his left shoulder as the right was occupied by his trinity, 'Now is exactly the time my dear Thirio, you're almost out of time and I promise you that I recognize the best.'
Bringing the screen to the forefront of his vision, the timer had a measly six minutes left before the mission expired, 'Where do I go Vadne.'
Vadne smiled at the urgency she heard in Thirio's voice, 'go to your left for a thousand meters and you'll see who I'm talking about.'
Having direction and being short on time as he was, the distance that was long for even those at the beginning of the Budding Realm was covered within a few short minutes by Thirio.
Dense life, wood, wind and a unique energy he didn't know assaulted Thirio's sense as he got closer to his destination, traveling a few more meters he saw what or rather who Vadne was referring to.
Many Elves were before Thirio, the men were as elegant as the one he had seen chopped to bits, and as for the women, everyone of them was a beauty, but even among that crowd, one elf still stood out from among them all.
'That long silver hair, those towering peaks hide under her black tank top, are they DD or E cups, that nice bubble butt hidden under her green skirt. Man was I right, seems my senses haven't dulled at all.'
Tuning out the pride filled voice of Vadne, Thirio had to agree with her appraisal of the woman before him, his heart and loins burned with the desire to conquer and make her his and his alone.
Taking a deep breath, he quickly calmed himself, he took note of his strange reaction as well but filed it away for later before taking another look at the woman. His gaze now clear, Thirio took note of her strength and felt his back turn cold.
'What do you think? A good find to complete the mission.'
'A good find indeed Vadne, but do you think I can even do that to her.'
'Haha, with your full strength I believe you can. Scared?'
Hearing the teasing tone and the mockery that filled her voice when the words scared echo within his mind, Thirio's body shook.
'I know you're goading me and it's working.'
Thirio tapped into the energy from his nine pointed star as the golden stary energy surged through his body, feeling power fill his body like never before Thirio locked unto the woman before he moved.

Teresa sensed the energy too late to react; she braced herself for the impending blow, ' these are the tell tale signs of someone that has manifested Self.'
The blow she expected didn't land though, instead she felt a hot, rough hand on her ass.
*Grope, grope*
Teresa's brain froze, she couldn't believe what was happening to her now was real.
*Grope grope*
This had to be some form of illusion manifested from the Self energy she sensed.
*Grope grope grope*
"What a sublime ass, If only I could feel it everyday, what a shame."
*Slap*
Hear the disappointment that laced the voice, the hot breath that tickled her neck, the burn rod that poked her cheek and that slap that sent tingles down her spine. Teresa finally accepted reality and with it came a burning rage and an equally burning shame.
When Thirio met her eyes all he saw was death, plan and simple, his death was all the woman before him wished for.
'Vadne, I think we fucked up, like really fucked up.'
'Maybe but you have to admit, her ass felt divine.'
'It did, indeed and the way it jiggled from that slap. All in all a worthy death I say.'
' A worthy death indeed Thirio.'
