*Rose her massive head as her eyes finally regained all her senses, her slits narrowed with focus she let out a deep exhale, with a large puff of smoke. These people some she called friends were hurting her for no reason, as she saw it she closed her eyes slowly keeping her head rested down not moving, before she closed her eyes she had seen seigi, the person she trusted treating he like a monster, so was Isaac with his phantoms. 

She would let everything go and stop caring for them as they didn't care for her safety she would no longer resist the urge to kill, she was a seen as a beast so a beast she will become. She felt the phantoms move onto her head but they had not done anything she didn't even move her wings only wincing as they were sliced in-between her strong scales, she felt the little metal ant trying to grip her throat luckily she had scales to protect her from this pressure her neck being to big to even be wrapped around entirely. 

She let out an exhale with restricted breathing before her eyes shot open she stood on all fours her body coming off with the energy that it gave in the inn before she turned into a dragon as her eyes darted left to right seeing everyone's position instantly moving as fast as a cheetah with seigi standing so close she moved her arms to slam and crush him beneath them the man on her neck, the steel beast dare touch her?*

*She would release her steam once more from her mouth as it trailed down to her neck and over her head she sparked a flame that would ignite the steam into a mana explosion all around the steel beast. This would also burn and weaken her scales and fry her own flesh beneath them the dragon seemingly stopped caring about it's own well being 'If there going to kill me I'm going to take them with me! They think I'm a monster I'll show them one!' she let out another deafening roar again they had all seemingly done nothing to protect there ears against her first one they would by this point have bleeding ears and no one would be able to hear anything as her roar previously would have deafened those who did not protect themselves. 

The man on her wings who had gotten to become a more then difficult to deal with in words uttered from her mouth.*

"Animorum voluntas spectorum te voco"

*A swirl of blue mana formed just infront of the swordman as he swung his sword his next shall was stopped in it's tracks by a fire wolf that was materializing with a sword in its own mouth it's eye's narrowed upon the man. Another dire wolf appearing behind him*
Susan
*Both the dire wolves could only be summoned when Orestis was in grave peril and felt like she was to perish if she did not summon them, all the requirements for the summoning were met, she was heavily injured and close to being killed by the barrage of attacks, her mana stores depleted, it's dark primal eyes glared upon the swordsman however it wasn't empty they were filled with intelligence as if it was a living soul behind the eyes it lunges towards the mans back moving in a blur attempting to bite his sword arm or shoulder and drag him off Orestis, both of the wolves were covered in armor*
Nina
*He would rather not continue with a fruitless effort, seeing the results of this """"""""Level 0"""""""" Character on the town. He was protected from most of the sound due to his Sentinel's guard. He saw her heavy hand raising up. He knew he didn't have much mana left to spare in Sentinels guard. He waited until there was just enough time to evade to ensure it was difficult to track him. He ducked out from under the swipe, leaping back about 20 feet, the extended reach of his large mana armor helping his movement. He took several bouncing leaps backward, very swiftly removing himself from the situation.*

*Ion wanna fuck with this no more.*
Lisa
*In this moment... All the odds were stacked against him... His comrades backed into the corner, struggling to hold their own... A large and fierce dragon... Two large wolves... Capable of ending him easily... He himself was backed into the corner... But he could not allow himself to falter in this moment... His will burned... Brightly... Passionately... Although this is a catastrophe... This... Was amusing... If he were to die here he only wished to die remembering happy memories. Cheong Myeong reminisced the past... How the joy of living in the mountain brought him happiness... He took a deep breathe in, but felt at peace for a moment... The sword in his hand essentially disappearing... The area around him turning into an empty room... Silence... Utter silence... He was in a state of equilibrium... The sword... Has become one... With him... A surge in energy and qi erupted from him, causing powerful winds to blow those nearby him to be knocked back 20 feet away... His entire being reverberating with qi as it was rapidly refined... His ears healing in the process and even stronger than before... His body steaming emanating a powerful presence... A presence of which one has stepped into a higher realm of swordsmanship...*

```"The Mount Hua Sect Swordsmanship Blooms petals... The petals of Plum Blossoms... The Mount Hua sect will never disappear... Not while I am here... May my ancestors watch over me and protect me..."```

*The man's body had changed... Although there were no major physical appearance changed, internally his muscles and bones has slightly morphed to better suit swordsmanship... Although his state is not entirely stable as he would need to meditate immediately after this, but for now this would suffice. He jumped backed, giving himself some more distance from the wolves as he took a deep breathe in... Then out... He got into the Seven Plum Blossom Sword Technique stance... Left leg extend out forward, bent at 216 degrees, the right leg, extended out diagonal from his other leg bent at 229. The sword down, 2 fingers extended the rest clasped. Then he suddenly swung upwards, releasing a large pink illuminated slash.* **First Sword... Plum Blossom Slash**

```"Flowers don't bloom just in lush forests... They can also bloom on lone trees growing on steep cliffs. Flowers..."```

*Here his blade was coated in the pink qi, that single slash filled the the area around him with the sweet scent of plum blossoms... The petals floated and fluttered about falling from the sword slash... Then he began swinging furiously, swiftly and efficiently. It would've seemed that the slashes would become resemble that of plum blossoms... The tree beginning to grow more branches and more petals forming...* **ULTIMATE SEVEN PLUM BLOSSOM SWORD TECHNIQUE... PLUM BLOSSOM BARRICADE!** *. The large tree of illuminated slashes stood tall being about 50 feet tall, sweat dripping down his chin. However this didn't stop yet, he cocked his arm back, then pushed the tree forward imbued with qi, as the tall tree fell down towards the wolves. These slashes were filled with utter power and will cut whoever is caught under the branches... The Petals flying wildly as they rushed towards the wolves, filled with cutting intent... The expended amount of qi was large and great... Thus needing to be more mindful of future qi consumption... However he didn't falter... He held his blade up glaring at the two wolves... Releasing a large pressure... An image... Of a giant standing over and looking down upon them was displayed with his intense stare*
Christine
*Saber hurt as he was blasted off by the steam explosion he was weak and close to comatose.

Saber felt all of this, all of this energy, from mana, to qi, to the very lifeforce around him it was like a drug he wanted more just more. This was causing his emotions to fluctuate rapidly inbetween extremes and lows. Until it all came out in one massive burst the tiny wing like appendages on his back glowing before flame like wings burst from them. Shooting up from his sitting postion and moving to the dragons back legs where he would release his stinger blades once more going to chop at her ankles.*
Denise
*As soon as the attack took place the absolutely amazing display of power was to much for the dire wolves, they were destroyed and sent back to the ethereal plane, as the slashes we're to fast to big, and to powerful leaving little room for them to dodge or escape. 

Orestis had let out a steam of smoke from her mouth as her scales were beaten over and over like a drum with powerful strikes they began to crack like glass then some scales breaking off her back and wings being torn apart like grinded meat she cried out in pain then her ankles were sliced she collapsed and finally gave in there was not much she could do against this attack being so exhausted she collapsed on her belly her battered wings dragging across the ground weakly. 

Her slits slowly changing as she breathes weakly slowly dying from the damage she had gave it her all, maybe it was her time.*
Lisa
*The man sighed deeply as he panted heavily, gasping for air... He himself had exhausted himself and his qi... Though in the end he attained a greater power instead... He rushed to the front of the dragon, leaping off it's neck, landing in on her head. He kept the sword in his hand as he raised the blade, looking down upon it with a gleam in his eyes. He swung down, but he stopped. He kept the blade pointing at her eye, but then kneeled before her and patted her softly and gently*

```"It seems like you've finally calmed down... It's time to rest... I will make sure of it, you are safe with me..."```

*He said... He didn't carry any disdain or hate towards the dragon for doing such things... It was his mistake and he acknowledges it... His wrong doing produced such a result and he must own up to it... Thus being the one who defeats the dragon and to help her revert back was his job... And now he will do as such, but it is up to the dragon whether she returns back*

```"Young Miss... I know you're in there... Rest... You must be tired from fighting like this..."```
Christine
*God was Saber mentally exhausted. He would slowly make his way to the front of the dragon his wings still ablaze, his stinger blades still at the ready even while his arms lay limb at his side. Looking down at the small man in front of him, before stating.*
"Lets fight together again some time."
*Before promptly hitting the dirt face first, the loud thump of his metallic body making itself known. His wings would slowly sputter out as well.*
Edythe
*As she was patted on her head softly she closed her eyes as her body began to slowly shrink smaller and smaller until she was curled up on her side all the wounds that were given were shown on her naked body, as she closed her eyes. They were disgusting wounds her breaths began to keep getting slower as she didn't have any will to stay alive at this point, the pain, the agony... Being treated like a monster... Maybe it was for the best for her to just slip away and not cause any more problems for anyone, her red ruby eyes slowly gleamed open as tears rolled down her cheeks she uttered the words very softly, and quietly with what little strength she had left.*

`"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."`
Paul
*Had created an ice pillar towering over them and sitting on a ice thrown just ontop of the pillar as she rested her cheek on her right fist her purple hues watching intently*
Nina
*Passed the fuck out; please wait for mana to recharge.*
Lisa
*As the dragon transformed back into the girl, he sighed deeply as he took off the first robe and wrapped her in it. Allowing for the robe to soak the blood. Then he took out a small gourd, taking out a single pill and placing it in her mouth, making her swallow it as such This pill was a pill that accelerated healing, accompanied by him also pressure specific meridians to prevent further bleeding. He held her in arms, leaning against Saber as he himself was exhausted... The blade sitting to the right of him, drenched in sweat... He... Was truly tired...*

```"It's alright... Live... To right your wrongs... Rest... Wake up... Then apologize..."```

*He said weakly... Here he took this moment to begin his meditation... This meditation was required to further his comprehension of the sword... The essence of the sword, and to further gain insight on sword techniques. This was essentially as this only happens once per a life time... If one were to miss this opportunity to enlighten themselves... Then it would be for naught... He focused and gathered qi into his dantian, the presence of qi manifesting itself as a bright pink energy... Within his mind, images of sword forms and techniques appeared, watching them repeatedly to try to comprehend them and the basis of such techniques...*
Edythe
*She slowly began to drift off to sleep as she swallows the pill with a slight struggle this here would save her life, if she didn't or wasn't given this pill she would have surely died. Her messy hair shifted as she moved her arms closer to her chest trying to find comfort in the warm robe*
Christine
*As Cheong Myeong rested against him he would feel saber shift just slightly to watch him do his thing, and as he started gathering his qi, he actually part felt the internals of Sabers own body mainly his core as it tried but failed to try to take his qi. Saber himself did not either understand what was happening or couldn't even feel it.*

*Sabers voice would drop to a low whisper as the small child like girl drifted off into sleep.*
"Weren't you the one to introduced the energy that caused her to shift?"
Paul
*Watches this unfold with her eyes she decided not to do anything for now, as she was thinking about what to do. She could kill them all for daring to touch her master and make her master go threw such pain. However she was leaning more towards taking her master away from them and brining her somewhere where they were safer somewhere she would be treated like family, where she would not be judged for who she was and not chalked up to as some beast, letting out a soft sigh a mist of ice came out with her sigh*
Lisa
*After an hour of meditating, his mind, body, and dantian have finally stabilized... He had made it from 2nd Rate to First rate that is half a step away from becoming a peak level martial master... Along with this he gained new insights of the sword techniques and further improved his swordsmanship, becoming a sword master as a result... His body finished its change and has finally stabilized making a strong foundation for his swordsmanship. He finally woke up, feeling rejuvenated, filled with vigor. He looked around to see what had gone on, he picked up his blade, crumbling in his hands from the stress of taking a large amount of qi so quickly...*

```"Yaaish... Father would be mad if he saw my blade like this... Oh how he would kill me..."```

*Somewhere within the mountain, the man sneezed, his father felt like someone was talking behind his back. But Cheong Myeong was sore and needed time for his body to recover before truly going back into action like this...*
Paul
*Was right behind the swordman looking at his broken sword she sniffed his head softly as she tippy toes sniffing his neck next trying to figure out why he stank like death.*

`"Excuse me you stink like death sir. Could you move away from my master. You all treated her like nothing but trash, except you. You have my gratitude."`

*She smiles softly going to pick her master up*
Nina
*After this time had passed, he was still resting, his body trying to restore the muscle it had formed into mana. He had used too much- he had nearly drained his entire stores. He was still in a dormant sort of state. His body was limp. He was sitting on his knees several feet away, his chest bent over and his head hung low as if he were dead. He was breathing, however, he just didn't even have the energy to open his eyes. His arms were hanging under him, the skin of which looked almost gray, due to the fact that the side-effects of the Third Mana Eye had not yet subsided.*

*There was a great turbulence inside of him as Renkenoma, the powerful Demon warlord which had been sealed inside of him, lashed out in anger of Seigi's overuse of his mana. He wasn't able to escape- he wasn't even able to peek his head out -because so much of his mana had been used so carelessly. Most of it didn't even make it into his spell, being lost into the surroundings, wasted. They all could feel it, though, a dark presence within Seigi that wasn't normally present when he was conscious and his calm, collected self.*
Christine
*When Cheong final stood up after like an hour of meditation. Saber did gain some insight and useful Information by studying him but it didn't seem to sit right with his own body, he would have to try it later when he got tge chance. Standing up and shaking any loose dust/debri off him he stood once again at his full height ten feet. He did mind what the new arrival had stated she clearly didn't understand the heat of the moment and quick decisions in the face of death.*
"Ah mister with the now broken blade I never got you're name, I do realize it is a little late for pleasantries but I would like to exchange names at least. The names Saber by the way, and wherever my dragon companion went, their name is Bahamut. It was truly glorious to meet you fine fello."
*Thats when Saber felt it, that dark energy that shook him to his very core. Rapidly turning to the man that seemed well collected with a blank expression across his face.*
"You're kidding me right?"
Lisa
*Cheong Myeong lifted her up gently placing Orestis in Iferia's arms. He stood up and sighed deeply as he needed a weapon... Though with no money and as poor as a brick... He turned towards Iferia feeling somewhat embarassed about what he was about to ask. But one needs to humble themselves and show humility to truly grow as a person*

```"Miss... If I may ask, allow her to stay with us. You too come with us... It would seem we may fight together in the future, might as well make it official. I would also require a sword... A new one... Heh... Heh... And I'm afraid I have no money, would it be possible to lend one or to lead me to some place to find myself a good sword...```

*Then his attention was brought over to Saber speaking towards him, introducing himself as saber and the dragon companion Bahamut. He smiled and bowed towards the man in respect, then putting his hands together as per eastern traditions in greetings. A sense of kindness and sincerity. He respected Saber's determination and will to continue to fight even when he was at his utmost limit, strength and will such as this too needs its recognition. Though suddenly he himself felt the dark presence within Seigi, his senses raising alarms within his head, he turned towards the man, his hands engulfed with the pink qi*
Paul
*Holds Orestis close to her chest then snaps her fingers the pillar she was sitting on staggered into tiny ice shards. She looked toward seigi she knows master has a fondness for the man so she extended her hand out an ice dome appeared around him and she moved him towards her inside the dome then it disappears as she rests his body right beside her side.*

`"I see... Why should I allow my master to come with you and your stupid little group, you hurt my master almost killed her. I will leave it for my master to decide when she wakes wether she wishes to stay or not."`

*She shrugged she saw his hands become engulfed with pink qi out her hands was blue mana aura that released*

`"Don't even think about it."`

*She hissed her words speaking like venom her happy tone switched to a serious one just as fast. She coats seigi in an ice cocoon as she had ice wings form on her back she took off to the sky looking down at them her magic carrying seigi far into the sky*

`"If you want to talk any further you will find us at my inn which is on the other side of the city."`

*She offered if he followed was up to him but she did owe him a new sword and some money so if he followed he would get what he is owed.*
Christine
*Saber would make an audible exhale which consisted of him just realeasing air from his chest cavity. He would relax once more, just happy he wouldn't have to fight another dragon, probably a dragon. Turning back to the marital master as he would call him.*
"Welp, it seems like this I wanna say nightmare is over. Ah and your sword, well it sound like your gonna get a new one anyway but I can fix that one right up for if you want me to. Just give me a minute or two."
*Thats when Bahamut crashed into the back of Saber gripping around his neck in a sort of embrace. Causing Saber to stumble a little but not fall.*
"Ah, and here is Bahamut as I was talking about."
*Reaching around and grabbing said dragon by her waist and bringing her to his front, inspecting her for any injuries. Before deciding she seemed well and able, setting her onto the ground.*
Lisa
*Being extended this offer the man bowed deeply towards Iferia and Orestis as he appreciated the generous offer and help. Even if Iferia wished for Orestis to not join him, he wished for her to join even more. This being... This person, was simply too interesting... In fact he could even teach her some swordsmanship perhaps? Though that will depend on the girl's choice. But if she joined, he would make sure to take care of her, she even already resembles his younger disciple sister, more the reason for him to feel softer towards the young lady. So with this offer, he nodded and began following them*

```"I see, Warrior Saber, I would like to humbly request you join me in a journey. Meet me back here, when? You will know when the time."```

*He said this extending an offer to Saber before turning and following after them*
Christine
*Would simply nod to Cheong, he still hadn't received a name yet but this was fine he would get it later. Picking Bahamut back up and setting her on his shoulder would he actually follow Cheong, mainly being interested in meeting the other more thoroughly and a better contained enviroment. And he hadn't even received all their names before that catastrophe happened. And maybe he could get that swordsman to teach him a thing or two about swordsmanship, since he next to nothing about mainly just relying on pure force.*
