*Grandus had halted the fight with Uleron, a good slap to the face got him out of that trance of his. Archa took center stage now, and she grew ever more dazzling, the flames of her form grew to a roiling bellow, the heat, amazing, a whirlwind of fire and passion*, "I do not lie when I say your about to die little goddess...I will come down upon you with great fury, so you will know what it feels like to be smitten. It's one of those things where you have to get hit by it to utilize it yourself. Now, you shall understand the consept of Godspeed." *few in the surroundings would be able to see what happened next, those that did, would remember never to cross the war goddess. Archa and Arcen just seemed to vanish...far into the distance, Mt Millium one of the smaller yet older mountains in the Northern mountain range, Shattered, its stones suspended in a fiery grip, its blazing blood gushed into the wind, as lightning crackled along a path previously invisible. It wasn't just fast, it was instantaneous, faster than light itself, as if physics simply didn't apply to this duel.*<br/><br/>*Arcens body was tough enough to withstand this, however, her left arm was burned down to the blackened bone. From her eyes, Archa had whipped her claw out and sucker slashed her arm, her senses kicked up so high she could remember every detail of the scene, though she couldn't move away fast enough to avoid the blow even with the substantial efficiency and speed of her form, Archa was simply on a higher level. After the initial impact, she saw...no rather she felt, Archa chase her through the air, not in straight paths but great spiraling curves, like a river but without gravity, she moved through the air like the mystic Lung dragons of eastern yor, her entire body shrouded in focused fire, essentially becoming a jet engine but weightless with no need for metal, pure thrust. She cut through the air so efficiently there was no backdraft, just an intense smokeless heat trail.*<br/><br/>*Arcen would clap over the side of the mountain, and feel the rocks break from the sheer force of her impact, her body would harden and shift automatically, Sakuras powers of transformation what passed on to her, connecting with her instincts and with her hightened senses, moved automatically to protect her, with no active thought she resisted the blows force, but the mountain took it all, boulders as large as houses would crack from the cliffs, fresh lava bled from the cracks and shot through the air but as Archa in her massive bulk landed above Arcen, it all stopped, suspended in a great air current from her intense heat, the very stones lifted skyward*<br/><br/>"Huff-Huff, that is all for today, allow the blow to sink in, you can now prepare countermeasures for the next time it happens", *Archa was ghasping, filling her lungs as fast as she could, though as a goddess this could be for any number of reasons*, "I am not suited for teaching, my strikes are devastating and usually end a fight in one blow...but...I have a tendancy to over heat", *it was true, the war goddess was ignighted, fames not merely from the broken mountain were blazing skyward, swallowing Arcen and the entire mountainside in a painted world of red fire, beautiful and deadly. The heat would wash over the land for miles, bathing the forest in light and warmth.* "I...must recooperate...Huff...", *Archa relaxed and let herself fall into the mountains lava, where she drank from and bathed in the heat, Arcen would still be imbedded in one of the house sized floating boulders, though with the strength she posessed it would be relatively easy to crack herself loose.*<br/><br/>-=-=-=-=-=-<br/>*Back at the training grounds, Grandus and Uleron moved back into the sparring grounds, the Kirin partially stunned at the display*, "If they can do things like that...why even have us here? Couldnt the gods just handle this whole war?"<br/><br/>*Grandus chuckled*, "A fight between gods is like a storm, its tremendous and terrifying, but you dont see the really big ones very often, little gods and demigods can fight more often because they recooperate faster. But they don't have the sky breaking kick like Gods on Archas level...the one you should watch out for, is the curvy pink one over there..." *He pointed his blade at Sakura for emphasis*, "Shes not as strong in terms of divine heft, but her physical prowess is far beyond Archa, on top of that she can fight continuously without ever stopping...you'll never outlast her and shes tough as nails, Theres not a Man or monster alive that I'd rather have guarding my home...but even with all that said, her specialty isn't combat like Archa's is, shes got a gift for charming people, you really have to watch yourself around her or you can get wrapped around her claw...even I get pulled into that charm at times.*<br/><br/>*Uleron caught Grandus in thought, and when he struck him, his rapiers went straight through his gambeson and the Lao dropped like a lead baloon*, "OH! Damn...good hit...I'm out, I yeald...I think you punctured my spleen...", *Ulerons blades were soaked in blood, and grandus went down for the count. A bush hanaryuu darted in when she saw what happened, a green scaled Lavender Hana named Lucia, moderately voluptuous, much less than Sakuras plump figure. Lucia used her tongue to worm her saliva deep into the cut, and pumped a green light down through her tongue. Into the wounded soldiers body, in just about two minuets, Grandus was back on his feet, but eager as he was to get back to the sparring, Lucia dragged him off to the mess hall to replenish his energy with food and rest.*<br/><br/>"Sorry antlers, I'll be back after lunch then, find yourself another sparring partner while I'm gone!", *The Lao would say as he was being hauled off, lifted over the smaller hanaryuus shoulders like a parcel as she toted him off. Even normal Hanaryuu it seemed posessed tremendous physical strength.*<br/><br/>(I hope I didn't take too many liberties with this, the point was just to introduce Godspells, huge spells that could terraform a battlefield, each god can inflict one godspell per day, like a passive. Archas was supposed to knock Arcen into one of the planets moons but she missed and the Narg got whammed into a nearby mountain XD, Sakura may have pulled a little Chloromancy as well to muffle to muffle the blow)
