Third person's P.O.V
--in the observation room--
'that armour... It can't be... How can she wield something that powerful already at this very young age?' the general thought, trying to think of every possible answer he could muster up... But none were coming... He knew that this battle had scaled higher than even the last one... That very armour Mona wore was what made everything very serious.
"...general... That armour... It can't be..." one of the general's escorts spoke out in fear and awe, as everyone else in the room was not that aware of how much the fight had just changed. "isn't that armour meant to be... A sacred arm, only wielded by the heir of a noble clan of high status, most of them are adults as I've heard... But this... This girl has it."
"I'm just as surprised as you... Who would have thought... A teenage girl will wield that much power... Though... For some reason..." the general stated while staring at Trinity whose smile never left... At all, but the glare was still very visible. She kept on keeping up with Mona, even with her sacred arm. "That girl... Trinity, Is something else... Because out of everyone else in the representatives except for the "boy" she got the highest level... Reaching the level of an admiral... So now the question is... Why is she still stalling... Is she cornered by Mona's new advances?"
'.....I highly doubt that... her smile never left... Though let me see... If she can handle the true power... Of the de Montfort clan.' the general thought, as he kept on staring at the screen with a large grin on his face.
--back at the 12th representatives waiting room--
"That armour! Who allowed that thing in here, this is rigged." Rin and Luca roared out in Union, as it seemed that both of them knew the big deal with the armour. Dante stared at them with a confused expression on his face, but he then turned his head towards the fight raging on, as he observed the way Mona was managing to keep up with Trinity and even that armour of hers... The power behind it was... Something Dante couldn't read at all... it just felt so... ominous.
"It seems you confused Dante?" Mark asked from behind the couch with a lot of bandages around his upper body, but most of his injuries were already cured by the dragon guild's responsive healing department for all representatives. Dante turned to face Mark sheepishly and a crooked smile with his arms at the back of his head.
"Whaaa... Nooo-o... I understand." Dante tried to lie his way out, as he was trying to avoid one of Mark's always intense explanations, but nope, it was too late. Mark held his head between his left biceps and roared out at the top of his voice performing a pose.
"Don't start to feel embarrassed Dante about lacking some certain bit of knowledge, just remain brave and life will teach it to you!" Mark roared out with his usual overenthusiastic behaviour, but Dante just pulled his head out and sighed while sitting back on the couch and staring at the screen once more, as he noticed that the more the mona came closer to Trinity... The red vein-like vessels on the armour start to glow up and increase in size... But why. "That armour is a sacred arm, Dante."
Mark finally remained calm, much to Dante's appreciation, and sat down on the couch with Dante. He spoke out while staring at the screen with Dante and the rest.
"What is a sacred arm?" Dante asked Mark, whose eyes hardened at the mention of that name... 'sacred arm'
"...
"...mark you didn't even mention anything on the sacred arm-." Dante wanted to continue, but Mark caught him off by continuing his once-started speech.
"And as a reward for coming under their individual bishops' rule... All clans were blessed by the monarch himself... It was these blessings that differentiated them from the rest of the clans and nobles around there... Now these powers were divided into the three pillars of mana presence... And these were." Mark was cut off by Luca who came and sat down close to Dante with a grumpy look on his face.
"The sacred art... That is under the pillar of magic technique... These clans are blessed with special moves and magic techniques that are only particular to them and this blessing can only be accessible by the clan... It can be an elemental attribute... Or a reality attribute.
The sacred aura... That is under the pillar of the aurora technique... these clans are blessed with special auras that can grant their bodies different kinds of physical abilities... That could help them surpass their original limits, as this blessing is also unique to them, as even their bodies have been altered to use it.
And finally... The sacred arms... That is under the pillar of Weaponry technique... These clans are blessed with heavenly weapons that could either be seen as a symbol of peace and hope... Or a weapon of pure demolition... These arms can't be wielded by anyone... Of simple blood... Only a few can wield them... But most are grandmasters and clan leaders... However... What I'm witnessing here is so bizarre.... " luca ended, then he started to focus on the growing veins on Mona's armour and then run came along with a vexed expression on her face. "those guys are jackasses."
"Big jackasses! This fight is already unfair... That armour is one of the strongest arms around right now... And it was said that the wielders of the very arm... Can manipulate the mana presence of every being... So it is bad news." Rin burst out, trying to point out the rigged and flawed combat before them. But Dante just stared at the screen, as he noticed that Trinity was still smiling towards her, as if she's already aware of the arm on Mona... But then Luca spoke out with a very serious tone to his voice.
"Trinity needs to be very careful... She might understand the power in general... But she doesn't understand the true blessing." Luca shaped his head in total defeat, but then faced danger with his stoned cold face.... "Dante... That arm's blessing... It's called SEVERE..."
"huh... What is that...?" Dante asked, as everyone threw their attention to the screen due to the large blast attack that shook the whole terrain.
"you see Dante... That armour..." Luca started.
--Back at the battle arena--
Trinity and Mona continued their raging battle, causing catastrophe and discord around the whole field, with Trinity throwing an unbelievable amount of projectiles at Mona who just kept on deflecting and blocking with her sword. But something felt weird to Trinity... And that was that Mona always just tried to come closer to me and bush out, And those veins on her armour seemed to be increasing constantly with every proximity she got towards me.
'hmmm this is weird, those veins are... Expanding and the mana presence from them are... Somewhat... Similar... To mine... Is she draining my mana... Could that be the power of her arm?' Trinity thought as she kept on analyzing the situation... But just as Mona wanted to slash her, she casts a barrier to stop it right on time... But this time... Something felt wrong. The barrier started to fade away, as Trinity quickly created distance between her and Mona, though Mona just started to laugh crazily while walking towards Trinity, her armour now glowing full red with black outlines and her sword was now a pitch black colour. "my barrier broke... This can't be... My mana presence still feels active... But... How is it looking as if I have no mana left to sustain the spell'
"hahaha feeling shocked... Well, you should be!" Mona charged again at Trinity, who tried to summon another barrier to block this incoming attack... But immediately as Trinity summoned it... It vanished into thin air instantly, resulting in Trinity evading the attack and creating even more distance between her and Mona.
"what have you done?" Trinity finally said warily.
--back to the observation room--
"I'm afraid it's over now..." the general spoke out, as his escort started at him with a serious look on his face. "Monalisa has activated the true power of the arm... Living up to its name."
"I see... So that means she has been severed from the outer world due to the armour's effect on her from Monalisa... I see, so basically...."
--back at the 12th representatives waiting room--
"...trinity... can't use magic for the rest of the fight..." Luca ended, shocking Dante in the process as he started to feel worried for Trinity... Because at this very point... She has been cornered.
