They progressed through the forest, using one of the many diverging pathways qbd soon emerged in a camp site, it was utterly abandoned with a little flame burning for something, but for nothing.
"What...!" Aster was cut off as a horde of shadow knights appeared, ready to fight them, even to the death.
Aster and Zoe drew their weapons, and began to clash with their enemies.
Aster charged up a blue energy on his blade by holding it up for only a moment, focusing and summoning energy to his blade, slashing the armour and taking the shadows off, Zoe now began to hit with the handle, butting them in the face and chest, allowing the darkness to seep off them, due to Lily.
"I really hate fighting my own soldiers!" Zoe said, kicking away a soldiers spear and slashing sideways, then down, making the darkness writhe and drop off the soldier.
"Guys!-" Lily screamed, as a giant, brute dark solider appeared, wielding a giant axe.
"Must...kill..." It muttered, eyes soulless through the shadowy cover on his body.
"He's clearly not himself...we should take him down aswell!" Aster commented, as Lily and Zoe nodded.
Aster jumped up, his sword was suddenly overflowing with energy and might of the stars was active.
Might Of The Stars-Aster's Passive.
Aster's passive ability gains 1 stack when he attacks with his basic move: 'Star-Slash.' Which increases his attack by 13%. When he uses his ultimate, 3 stacks are placed, making his Critical Hit Chance, Damage and Attack Increases by 30% plus the first stack on the attack.
Story:
He now slashed his sword down, creating a massive light blade that followed the slash, sending the Darkness flying away as it hit the man.
"Phew..." Aster floated back down.
"That was...Amazing to see..." Zoe shook herself from the shock, sending the soldiers away from the abandoned campsite.
The dark cluster writhed with fear as it began to grow, knowing even if it did grow into one, massive dark being, it stood no chance against the Goddess's sole creation and his 2 powerful allies.
Aster sheathed his sword, walking towards the culminating darkness before him, as he began to focus. "Please...I shall give you a new purpose..." He muttered, as light wrapped around the darkness, transforming it in a tiny blue ball of light, into one, normal rock with a glowing blue star pattern in the middle.
"How..?" Zoe began, but Lily suddenly spoke.
"The power Aster holds can also manipulate other energy around him, so, the darkness he transformed has been cleanse and converted into power for him to be upgraded."
"Well said, Lils." Aster smiled, picking up the rock and channeling his inner thoughts and soul, closing his eyes.
A big star, colour of the galaxy shone within his soul, tied to it, with streams of light and creation going in and out of the star.
"I would like to...use this energy to upgrade my abilities." He spoke, the void carried his voice, as the star shone brightly, and showed 3 skills.
1. His Basic Attack, he slashes in an X-Pattern, and then slashes upwards at a left right angle.
2. His Secondary Attack, he summons 2 clones that slash the opposition, one on the left to the right, right to left for the second, and he directly charges his sword through.
3. His ultimate, he jumps up in the air and creates a giant sword of light and creation energy, using his Star Magic to push it down, and causing a massive explosion on impact, buffing the teams basic stats, and debuffing any enemies that are left.
Story.
He now nods, tapping his basic attack, making himself glow and the rock disappeared, as he woke up.
"Did you manage it?" Lily asked, voice laced with concern.
"Yes...we should go to the other town as soon as possible, and take out any dark beings we come across." Aster declared.
The two girls nodded, as they set off.
