(OOC: As note the man is no longer fully naked; he has tied his burn rags from earlier into makeshift loincloth)<br/><br/>The man raised his barrier up.....but this time Seia claws drilled through his defense! With loud screech her claws now sink bit deeper than before and leave now deep nasty gash across man's chest but it was far from lethal injury! But it was noticecable. After Seia Mira chanted and formed a yellow pentagram which from a powerful bolt flied to anathema, however despite power anathema leaped and dodged the blast instead taking hit. After that Ryon leaped forward and struck down into floor with his sword! Forming thorny vines which traveled in ground and wrapped around the anathema! But he squirmed loose before vines entangled nor injured him and Ryon hissed and ran after the group into the chase.<br/><br/>(OOC: You got man injured badly now but he had +8 added vs lethal soak and he has total ten vs lethal damage. So he is now -2 injury stage in dice penalties)<br/><br/>They reach into stairs, anathema leading and runned in heels by Amaya, in there stand by Mizagi and Mitsuomi activated their anima banners and readied to fight! Standing now between two male dragon-bloods and bunch more behind stairs. Looking between them he says in old realm; "You leave me no choice...if you value your lives you run away from me now!" Fierna raises her goremaul, engulfed by green fire she snarls and prepares leap on the man saying; "Bold last words anathema!"<br/><br/>(Scene combat music turned on)<br/>Greatest Battle Music Of All Times: Power To Strive (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6iRpAjJP44#ws)<br/><br/>Then Anathema started chant in old realm while Fierna surged forward, making a calm powerful kata in swift motion which only Seia could follow with her eyes; "The undefeated king of heaven, forsake my sins what I am about commit in name of greater good, forsake me for uttering name of one the vanquished ones to gain their fury to mine to command. So I shall summon fury of<strong>Queen of Thousand Bloodbaths Who Wears Anguished Tears of Widows!</strong>"<br/><br/>Then instant the the anathema exploded in brilliant light! So bright it made impossible to see any shadows or silhouettes in area! Only what was seen was a roaring golden fu dragon which swirled madly around while golden orihalcum spikes exploded inside the dragon who released ear deafening cry of agony and rage and spill golden essence glowing blood! The flash dissipated and Fierna groaned in pain when sudden golden force knocked her back,over her group land roughly into floor but with hiss and groan rised up and said; "What...in name of dragons!"<br/><br/>Seia now could see also what Fierna saw; the golden dragon anima banner visible in background bleeding and showering blood upon the anathema. Who's body consumed the blood and formed a orihalcum mask which resemblances a snarling yozi woman. Man's body became covered in golden runic tattoos and his muscles bulged. His whole body radiated storm of golden essence and his eyes behind orihalcum mask blazed brightness and purity greater than orihalcum which covered his face. His breathing came out in echoing serpentine hiss, he was still injured but seemed not bothered at all by his injuries. His stance and presence showered in raw unmistaken power, power far greater than any dragon-blood house elder! Equal if not greater than Empress herself had shown while she had been alive!<br/><br/>The presence of the anathema felt suffocating, paralyzing limbs and making breathing hard, even thought to attack him filled minds with dread and doubt....giving nagging fear similar to hunters who are facing a tiger on it's last legs. Face a ultimate feral fury with no compassion nor fear to death.<br/><br/>(OOC: Okay, anathema now activated his ultimate boost up combo. For reference Seia does recognize the style of kata what he used take the stance; it's solar hero style. However rest effects are follows; Solar Hero Form + Infinite Mastery to both MA and Dodge + Iron Kettle Body + Bloodthirsty Sword-Dancer Spirit. So yeah he did burn +20 essence and 5 wp trigger this combo. So his juices are pretty dry consider all running and your essence drain attack. So do not worry the first rounds about him; he has no essence to power any his special moves but what longer fight lasts that more serious it gets so go feel free go full wrath mode here :).<br/><br/>So his dawn anima power is active so you need either spend 5 wp to negate a -2 penalty to your dice pool, and even then anathema has +3 to all his defense values. So now his dodge DV is 14 and also he ignores all wound penalties and has constant high lethal soak. For now everyone got dazed from the display and so it is new join battle rolls and reset into new scene. Anathema rolled 9 in join battle.)
