At one point, the elven army summoned a giant spirit avatar of their own imagery—a bright and domineering illustration of their finest exemplary, alongside the manifestation of the waning moon looming on the back of the 70 meters tall spiritual fighter.
The great elven avatar roared as it chanted indecipherable words from its mouth. Giant purple magic circle appeared in the air. Not long after, a giant spiritual sword befitting to be wielded by this graceful avatar was summoned.
It appeared that the spiritual moon was decreasing the overall fighting capabilities of the Emperor's Apostles, making them fight with the same common ground of strength and abilities, instead of letting these gargantuan gold and silver warriors plow everything in their sight.
Then again, the scouting apostles still exist.
