Starell's eyes widened. Even she didn't know why Nosphaleen had suddenly decided to do this. She hadn't participated or interfered in the battle at all—not even secretly.
All things considered, there was absolutely no reason for her to take this sort of action.
In fact, Starell had even been standing outside the range of Nosphaleen's field of falling blossoms.
Despite this, the flap of Nosphaleen's wings pushed her speed to yet another level. At this point, it wasn't just like teleportation-it was teleportation, reality itself folding in on itself to facilitate Nosphaleen's movements.
Though taken off guard, Starell's reaction was fast. She tapped a foot and slid back, her toes curling in a peculiar way that seemed to only accelerate her faster.
Her eyes watched the swing of the trident pass right before her nose.
"I have "
She tried to speak, but then a spike of shocking pain ripped through her chest. Her robes sheared apart, her flesh compressing as her bone nearly shattered on impact.
[Sinuous Grace].
Starell's perception of distance was completely distorted, her pupils dilating and pulsing in odd waves. She had been trapped in a twisting illusion that felt so very much like reality.
Because it was exactly that.
Nosphaleen's trident spun in her hands and she took a strong step forward, the trident thrusting out thrice in quick succession. Rolling waves of space and gravity bent onto its body, the earth beneath their feet rippling as though the moon had begun to affect it just as easily as it did the shores of the ocean.
Starell tried to dodge three times and failed all three times.
BANG. BANG. BANG.
Her body curved, blood spurting out of her mouth as she was sent flying back like a meteor.
This didn't last for long.
[Veil of Effervesce].
She smashed against an invisible boundary, her body reflecting back at Nosphaleen just as fast as it had been sent flying.
Nosphaleen raised her trident high above her head, moving it with such force that its polearm bent in the opposite direction, curling above her head like a pair of god hands had grabbed it from either end, bending it into obedience.
She stomped a foot onto the ground, her wings spreading out with such force that harsh winds kicked up and forests for dozens of meters were wiped out in erratically shredded bits and pieces of blackened wood.
Starell's pupils constricted and she realized the situation was bad.
The wings on her ankles flared out as she crossed her arms over her chest. However, just as she was about to act BANG.
-
Leia appeared between the two, her palm reaching up and catching the length of the trident before it could slash down.
The world fell into silence for the briefest of instances before violent winds erupted. The ground beneath the two cratered, but both hung in the air, their telekinesis fighting against the sway of the winds.
