She’s not here, I swear, I’m just a decoy. Don’t kill me, damn it!” A Lvl 02 Outlaw, disguised as the Corpse Collector, gripped firmly by the neck on Eclipse Princess’ right gauntlet covered hand pleaded for his life while Princess crunched his HP slowly with the ever increasing force of her grasp. [color=9932cc]“Ho~? And why should I let you live when you serve me no purpose?”[/color] Eclipse Princess asked with a cold voice, impassive to the Outlaw’s plight as she crushed his neck, hearing the satisfactory sound of digital bones snapping, before the Outlaw’s body faded into a rain of polygons. [color=9932cc]“Anyway, if the Corpse Collector isn’t here on the battle field, where could sh-“[/color] Eclipse Princess turned to face the Black City, just as the blaring sounds of cannon fire reached her. [color=9932cc]“Those weaklings, the real target is right under their noses and they are losing time as if this was mere game?”[/color] Eclipse Princess gritted her teeth. [color=9932cc]“I can’t let Moon Rider die, no matter what. Not to some coward’s tactics such as that one.”[/color] Eclipse Princess began to make her way back as fast as she could, in the middle of the way, Eclipse Princess noticed the design of the Lvl 05 dissolution. [color=9932cc]“Hmph, such an obvious weak spot, tsc! Why don’t they kill it already and focus on the cloud that’s hampering the defenses?”[/color] Eclipse Princess sighed before changing her course, [color=9932cc]“Well, I’m an Ebony Stryker now, am I not? Defending the gates is part of it.”[/color] As Eclipse Princess said so, she was right at the Giant Dissolution’s feet, with a mighty leap she landed on the monster’s back and began run up its back, leaving Arms Slave and his Merry Band behind. [color=9932cc]“You can thank me later, Sweeper Scum, for now saving the guild comes first.”[/color] Princess yelled just as she reached the top of the thing’s “head”, kicked it with all her strength and somersaulted, using one of the floating organs as a foothold to jump even higher and further away. [center]* * *[/center] [color=9932cc]“This is the end!”[/color] Eclipse Princess shouted as she completed her flip and began to fall, activating her Icarus Attack, right over the Nube Negra. Eclipse Princess used her free hand to launch her Spatial Collapse, imploding the Nube’s outer layer to reveal the octahedron shaped core that flared with an over a million volts charge. [color=9932cc]“AHHH!”[/color] Eclipse Princess yelled as her blade crashed against the diamond-hard core, invoking her Dark Blade’s active effect to boost the damage even further, until… CRACK! The polygonal core crushed under the pressure of Eclipse Princess’ unique ability of breaking things and she finished her attack, plummeting like a black comet to the Black City’s Ramparts. As Eclipse Princess crashed on the black wall, undamaged thanks to the Icarus Attack’s ability of avoiding the fall damage, she noticed Cassandra’s reply and read it while going back into the Black City’s castle, but didn’t replied. Long range conversations were futile, after all. Cassandra was allowed her own choices, but she would have to tell them looking on Eris’ eyes, only them it would have any value. Before jumping from the wall, Eclipse Princess shot a… very unique smirk to the Sweepers manning the cannons. [color=9932cc]“Hmph, remember this, scum. There’s but one truth on this world... no, on both worlds, and its name is power.”[/color] Eclipse Princess deadpanned before walking away, toward the supposed location of Corpse Collector, as she recalled yet another excerpt of the Art of War. [color=9932cc][i]”’In a conflict the direct actions generally lead to a battle and the secret ones, to victory.’ That rat, she almost tricked me…”[/i][/color] [hr] [center][@Lucius Cypher][@TheWindel][@Caits][@Jedly][/center]
