10/7 3:25 (Autumn, Day, Midrar)
Amber watched, her eyes carefully waiting for any incoming signal of the fight resuming as Luna was slowly adapting to the immense change from before, for now focusing mostly on what she could now do following her increased Skill Ranks, like her previously turning into Black Blood.
Under the heated gaze of the Phoenix, the Lunarian dematerialized her Unique Arma from around her limbs before Manifesting it once again, now being a skin-tight suit covering everything but her neck and up made of the same black, scale-like materials, platinum bands around her wrist and ankles with details of the same material marking her body's shape.
Vital Energy, Mana and Aura flared violently around Luna's body, mixing together and spurning Amber to act, now before it would be too late.
Using her own "Energy Siphon" she fused together her Vital Energy and Mana, makeshifting Vital Mana, flames erupting from her body, the air around her lighting on flame while with each beat of her flames, the wind around her stirring as she started to use all four of her highest Affinities, Fire-Attribute, Wind-Attribute, Curse-Attribute and Holy-Attribute.
Thanks to the Blessing Casted on her by Mafel and her descendance from a Lust-based Demon, she was able to fuse together her Curse- and Wind-Attribute into Ominous Winds, a purple twister forming around her while her Fire- and Holy-Attributes fused into Blessed Flames, thing that was somewhat common in high-Ranking Phoenixes.
Soon after her Ominous Winds fell upon Luna, Amber being careful to add in her own Techniques to increase their Damage by considering the winds as her own sword, purple and sharp wind blades continuously raining down on Luna's body, the attacks first landing on the Auric Beast before proceding on Luna herself as much weaker attacks that left gashes all over her body even with her Armor, gashes that were quickly healed.
Even so Luna did not move, her gaze focused on everything yet nothing at all, still adapting to her now much higher capabilities, being slightly distracted as she needed to manually heal every single one of her wounds with Vital Mana, one of the conseguence of the Activation of "Core Implosion", at least at E-Rank.
Her Auric Wings opened wide before beating violently, Feathers belonging to her multiple set of Wings with Black Blood and Vital Mana at its core, rained down all over the area, piercing right through the rain of Curse-Attribute to fall down upon the entire arena in instant, spinning on themselves and drilling into place.
Amber's Blessed Flames raged around her, combining with her Aura before exploding violently, deflecting the Feathers that would fall near her, surviving the first wave of projectiles without any issue.
Sabel meanwhile grabbed Mafel in her arms before jumping away, a burst of light sending her flying away while the Elf in her arms was Casting Spell after Spell to strenghten the Human and deflecting the Feathers that Sabel would not have been able to dodge.
Luna beholded the result of her attacks, her three long Auric Tails whipping the air around her at high-speed, batting away the flames launched by the blonde with trivial ease before closing her eyes completely, her concentration focused on her own Black Blood and Vital Mana, forcefully initiating the same process as her newest permanent Skill within them.
As a conseguence of such the Feathers, unable to deal with the immense pressure, violently exploded in waves of force, forcing her Mates to barricade themselves down to block the explosions.
This bought the Lunarian enough time for her to concentrate on her newest temporary Growth Skill, she will permanently Gain once her Racial Skill reaches C-Rank, "Orichalcum Conversion", the Rankless Skill that starts to convert a Lunarian's body to Orichalcum, starting with their blood.
In her case, thanks to her blood being Black Blood and her Soul's nature as a stable black hole, she was able to start this process right here and now to accelerate her progress in the future, her Essence being slowly drained down to fuel this process, thing that forced her to spend even more Vital Mana to balance out the constant drain while ignoring the pain of said draining.
Thankfully, while her Vital Mana reserves where slightly lower than before, her Vital Mana Recovery in itself was more than double her normal and in combination with all her other higher Ranked Skills, she gained more than she used in the fight.
Her Aura moved on its own, swinging one of its limbs backwards on its own in order to scatter a Fire Arrow that Amber secretly launched previously, a Fire Arrow that Luna previously would not have been able to Sense as it contained no Vital Energy or Mana but that thanks to her True Sight she saw without any trouble even from behind.
Amber launched herself forward, bursting right through the explosions in an instant to reach Luna and trying to punch her in the face, her Aura fusing briefly with her Blessed Flames and concentrating around her fist.
Once again, the red-eyed one vanished in a mass of Black Blood that flowed around the Demonic Phoenix before reforming into her body but this last one was ready for it this time, a purple twister sending Luna flying back before she stopped mid-air, her Auric Wings opening wide before she pointed forward with her left hand, a beam of power being launched in an instant.
Said beam met the Demon-blooded one's own equivalent, the air where the two met instantly catching on fire before it was extinguished by a shockwave and relitting on fire soon after in a continuous cycle.
While the two were distracted by their clash however, someone else decided to intervene.
Light shone in the area in an instant as Sabel held her sword clad in a mix of Mafel's Holy-Attribute and her own Light-Attribute before she slashed down on Luna.
The Lunarian rose her right arm, blocking the blow but being pushed back, thing that the Human normally would not have been possible but with the combination of Luna's focus being on Amber and the Elf's Blessing on the Human, she was able to unbalance her.
The Phoenix seeing such intensified her attack further, breaking their headlock and forcing Luna to retreat before she could use her strenght against her black-haired Mate, the white-haired one being forced to shield herself with one of her Auric Wings to deflect a Curse-Attribute beam launched by her grey-haired one.
Aura mixed with Black Blood and Vital Mana, forming a long and thin blade in her left hand that she swung, parrying away the rapidly nearing Unique Arma, the brightly glowing red sword sending forward a wave of fire that Luna dodged, Aura forming together with Black Blood and Vital Mana, a pair of long blades.
In an instant the air was rent asunder as Luna swung furiously, Amber barely being able to survive as her Mate rampaged in place, sharp shockwaves filling the area around her and forcing the Phoenix to keep moving or risking Critical Damage.
Vital Mana accumulated around the blonde's right hand as she tried to fight back, actively not making it a Spell but a simple exercise in control to dodge her Mate's "Counterspell" but this proved meaningless as all the same, even without the activation of said Skill, the Vital Mana vanished into nothing, something rendered possible because of her Authority over Vital Mana.
"How…?" Amber exclaimed, surprised and in so doing opening herself up to an hard kick that lifted her up entirely before she was kicked further away.
"You need to remain focused while in a fight, Amber." Luna half-mocked before her Tails pierced high, deflecting the falling thrust launched by Sabel before slamming her back down to the ground with one of her Wings, stepping on her chest to keep her under control before progressing to the next level, activating the function of her "Familiar Summoning" temporarily at B-Rank, the function to temporarily Gain a Skill from each of her Familiars.
Her eyes opened, her eyes now able to actively observe the Souls of all the Beings around her, from her Mates to her Familiars, her own, the Dragon that was even now trapped within her before she briefly concentrated on something that shouldn't be, a piece of a Soul alien to her own but that was all the same resting within her.
With a smile she temporarily left it be to deal with later before attacking.
Using Core's "Elemental Manifestation" and Channeling Blitz's "Electrify" within it, Luna formed a spear made out of Lightning, bypassing her own entirely absent Affinity for the Lightning-Attribute completely, before hurling it high in the sky, precisely targetting the center of the Curse.
And from there, vibrant black lightning passed through it and nearby droplet of Curse, destroying them all before rapidly spreading out of control, filling the sky with somehow shining black lightning.
"I'm sorry, Mafel, but I want you to be more active in this fight and you will not if your role as a support is not disrupted. Now then, let's restart." The Lunarian excitedly explained herself, her Wings opening rapidly before shifting Blitz's Skill towards "Magnetic Amplification", attracting the lightning to fall down violently.
Sabel did not hesitate, rising her Unique Arma, surrounding it in Holy Light before releasing it over Mafel, counting on Luna's body to shield her while helping in shielding the grey-haired one from at least the initial wave, long enough for her to poke her own Unique Arma to the ground, gold-tinted Malice violently erupting to drown out the shocks nearby.
Amber instead merely released her Aura in full, combining her four highest Affinities in a single attack, outshining the lightning for an instant.
