Rise Of The Cosmic_Emperor

Right before Addilyn's strike hit him, Devon chuckleed and suddenly released a massive ball of light, that expanded so fast that even when Addilyn thought to move away, it was already too late, 

*Booommm!!!*

She found herself rocketing away from him right back into the sky where she then made an arc before landing and creating a crater to rival Devon's on the ground.

Hal and Melinda watched the whole battle with their eyes wide as though to take in every single detail.

It could never be understated on how large scale this battle was. Both generals had long forgone the use of Cosmic energy and now focused on battling with their Ordnances of which the two were now at Harnessing mastery.

The level of physicality and strength was simply too insane for words.

Melinda could see her future in those ordinance strikes as she did not and would never doubt her capabilities and potential.

Reyna watched as well as this was the first time she would ever see her sister go all out against any human.

She was even making use of Ordinance harnessing she never knew Addilyn had already comprehended and when she (Addilyn) fell and created the crater on the ground, she had to admit, she was worried.

Only for a little bit though as the doubt was soon wiped out of her mind. 

There was no way her sister could have been done in by that attack.

There was just no way, she thought.

And sure enough, out of the crater, Addilyn rose. She looked tattered, battle-worn and her scales had fallen off to expose her smooth skin that used to be covered/protected by her Armor which was now torn as well.

Even then, the Dystopian general smiled.

While of the two, Devon looked much better off, he knew not to underestimate the Dystopian general until the very end.

He was right and even as she stood, Addilyn began to use her trump card. She began to cast a spell with her Dragon Bloodline energy and she then planned to use it alongside her Ordinance when someone was suddenly standing between her and Devon but was facing her.

It was the young man with a fan who had been eyeing the battle from afar with the woman.

The man fanned himself as he chuckled, 

"My my, Addilyn, I have to say this is a new look for you. But it's definitely a look that I like" he said and looked her over.

Focusing mostly on areas of exposed skin.

Addilyn smirked, 

"Nero, I never thought you would think to show your ugly face here but I wonder if you came alone..." She had not even completed her words when another figure, this time the woman, suddenly appeared floating in mid-air.

She had back length coal-black hair and coal-black eyes and while her robes were not exactly form-fitting, they could not completely cover her detectable and mouthwatering curves.

"That's enough" the woman said and her voice boomed around the battlefield on which battles were still going on.

Aulich was still facing the Dystopian commander with red hairs which turned out to be a sign that the commander possessed the bloodline of a Phoenix.

Actually, I say 'still facing' but in truth, Aulich was having his ass handed to him by the commander who kept flapping flaming wings and changing directions so much faster than the Silva man could follow.

Anyway, the woman in the sky eyed Devon before she waved her hand nonchalantly and shut off the light he was beginning to radiate.

Devon went from furrowed brows to widened eyes. The manner in which she had shut off his Ordinance was a sure sign that this woman had an Abstract Ordinance at the insight level.

That was the reality of the disparity between Elemental and Abstract ordinances.

Insight mastery of an Abstract ordinance would always easily trump Harnessing mastery of an Elemental ordinance. It was a power scale that was impossible to override.

At least no one had ever seen a situation where Elemental came out on top except in the case of an incarnation.

"Pesky human, how dare you?" She asked Devon, most likely referring to the injuries Devon had inflicted on Addilyn, and released her immense pressure that actually began to force him to his knees.

However, when going to war with a Dystopian army of unknown strength, how could a general, well aware of his strength actually come to battle with nothing other than his own strength?

Surely he must have a trump card saved up for emergencies such as this.

In an instant, Devon was suddenly holding a seal. The seal was jade green and impressed with the imperial symbol.

The seal began to give off a pressure to rival the woman's oppressing pressure and soon, it was shielding Devon who looked up with a smirk at the woman whose brows were now furrowed.

This was the pressure, or more accurately, it was a hint of the pressure of the Haron Emperor, a Five Star Cosmic saint!

It was a pressure that trumped the woman's easily but Devon did not use it to strike her down.

The seal was finite and it would not do well to be erratic in his use of it.

Besides, he still had no idea what these two newcomers were here for.

Eventually, the woman retracted her pressure with a scoff, 

"Borrowed power is at the end of the day... Borrowed" she said and waved her hand to wrap Reyna in transcendent beast energy and bring her by her side in mid-air.

Then she eyed Reyna and then looked over at Hal and Melinda, easily noting that there had been a battle between the two and Reyna and the fact that being they were still alive told her Reyna had not been victorious.

She huffed with disappointment and Reyna flushed with embarrassment, 

"N-N-N-Naya..." She began but the lady said, 

"Not another word" and then looked over at Addilyn, 

"We're leaving" she said.

"Hell no!" Addilyn said, "not until I kill him" she gestured to Devon.

"No, we are leaving now" the lady said but Addilyn scoffed, 

"I'll do what I want. I'd die rather than accept defeat" she said.

Nero still fanned himself as he showed Addilyn a Seal. Once Addilyn saw it, she seemed to understand something from it before she gritted her teeth in annoyance, 

"Retreat!" She yelled and every Dystopian still alive and able to move began to run away from their opponents towards the Dystopian border.

The woman in the sky called Naya turned and flew away with Reyna still wrapped in her transcendent energy bubble.

Devon and the commanders made no moves to pursue and gave no orders for pursuit.

And since no order was given, the Horonian soldiers began to yell in victory which they saw as an upset as their numbers had been drastically lessened thanks to the detonation of the suicide bombers.

"Should we just... Let them go" Gaige asked as the Dystopians moved farther and farther away.

Devon sighed, 

"It's been a long two months. This seems a fitting ending. After all, it's still our victory.

Besides, we learned something that could help the continent in the future" he said.

"And what's that?" Aulich asked with the tiniest bit of a sneer. 

Devon thought back to that seal and what he knew it to mean,

"The Dystopian continent is going through trying times. I cannot be sure but the cooperation between the four major clans seems to finally be heading towards a breakdown."
