[i]Jeanne[/i] - [u]The Archangel[/u] Much to her satisfaction, and the gross underestimation of her by the enemies that had made themselves present; the six dozen blades of holy fire wrought remarkable destruction on the vines. So powerful was it that their controller soon gave up on such a tactic. Pausing for a moment as even the blades themselves hung suspended in the air, Jeanne contemplated for a moment. The presence beneath their feet was still slowly growing, and it seemed that everything that had been done to simply buy time, which now was a valuable resource that they could no longer afford to waste. Instantly, all fifty-nine of her blades that weren't wielded by Sage converged back to her. Each of them combining into one another while they collided into the sword she already held, as thin lines of luminescent gold began to trace about the woman's figure. Before long, the blade she held grew in both radiance, length, and width. As if it were made of the most monstrous and purest light. While two dozen swords still swirled in the air around them, Jeanne calmly spoke to Hana while the maelstroms of whirlwinds further desolated the ruined city in the distance. If Hana were paying any attention, she would undeniably notice the absolutely monstrous build of magical energy that now lingered in Jeanne's grasp. [color=662d91]"Hana. We shan't be playing games any further. Time to take a shortcut. Please stand back."[/color] Finally, the thin lines converged and across her beautiful form spread, and rapidly growing across her form was an angelic form of armor. Colored white akin to the purest of Ivory and engraved with beautifully intricate accents of gold, the helmet of a weeping [b][i]Saint[/i][/b] closed about her fair face and thin lines of black tears traced downward from the eyelets. The Archangel had gained her true form. [color=662d91]"Prepare to descend."[/color] With one flap of her wings, the brilliant star that was her ascension was plain for all in the city to see as she took [i]The Ashbringer[/i] into the grasp of both her hands while she rose into the air. All the while meteors fell, her two dozen spare blades rose with her to deflect or strike them down with ease. Once enough altitude was gained, a powerful horizontal slash from Jeanne pointed downward from the heavens would cause the light of the sun itself to rupture forth in righteous flame. This wave of superheated concussive magical energy collided in a calamitous cacophony into the temple and the grounds and collided with the might to make the foundations tremble in fear. Far beneath it, Lu and Renji would feel it while the smoke cleared. This was horrific might of sixty blades combined into one. Once the dust settled, a massive crater could be seen to be carved out of the earth itself as Jeanne then swung once again. A second sun ruptured the heavens as a deafening roar of destructive magic sundered the very earth that dared to resist it. This time however, as the smoke cleared, a hole into the abyss where Renji and Lu had hidden themselves within to buy time was open for all to see as the distorted sunlight that rippled through Niti's barrier and the falling dust. Folding her wings inward, Jeanne dove towards the darkness and fell into it like one might observe a falling star passing through the heavens at night. Only to open them as a literal beacon of light in the dark. As light as a feather, her feet touched the ground with a fair distance from Renji and Lu and Jeanne's resolute silence was finally broken. Ashbringer, the magnificent sword of holy flame that she held in her grasp seemed to pulsate in her grasp before her calm settled before the storm that stood before her. [color=662d91]"Good evening, gentlemen. I must ask you, why do you have to stir up trouble on my day off?"[/color] A sigh whispered past her lips while Jeanne continued to stare them down. Yet another chilling presence brought the side of her gaze to see Kuroko who seemed still so bitterly cold after an icy strike, and Jeanne would wordlessly add onto it. Swinging vertically, the dark cavern would be filled with flooding, fiery light once again as a tidal wave of holy flames would surge forward towards both Renji and Lu alike. Righteous vengeance singing for their demise.
