"The hell?"Yinhua gawked in surprised, as she never anticipated Greenie's powerful ability.
The petal of flowers falls in the ground, Greenie floating in the mid air with solemn eyes looking down to the direction of the crash site of Inoue, she then control the remnant of the plants and make it into another huge bulwark of trunk shield like earlier, the smoke cleared after the crashed of Inoue, Yinhua was retain her sense again, she never expected the outcome of the ability that Greenie use to deflect and blow Inoue Away.
"Almighty Push?"Yinhua suddenly realize the ability similarities of Greenie, she never expected that midget have also kind of ability to push away her enemy within her spherical range.
"So now, pitiful ones, you didn't realize the situation you are in, how sad that both of you two will die here painfully" Greenie spokes with heavy words, as she keeps her prideful stature.
"Oh really? Tell me more" Yinhua taunt as she just smile sarcastically in front of Greenie.
"Tsk, feeble mind" Greenie replied as she command her plant spikes and point it to rush to Yinhua.
The spike plant bullets are rushing with tremendous speed, Yinhua is stand still, never move even an inch when the pellets about to land, Inoue suddenly appears and cut down all the bullets in a row without difficulties, Yinhua just keep smiling while keep preparing the array she planted and focus her soul energy on it.
"I was a little bit careless, but now shall we proceed?" Inoue said as she appears with tremendous presence and deadly aura, her clothes never look damage at all after the crash.
"I see, you are a Celestial Maiden, that crafty woman is your master, interesting! Looks like your durability surpass my expectations, bravo!" Greenie concluded as she prepare for another battle stance.
"Inoue, a turtle has a hard shell, but her remains are not cover, now then move!" Yinhua riddling said while focuses her chi on the array.
"Yes master, your servant understands well" Inoue answers, as she smile and look again to Greenie.
Inoue charges, with tremendous speed she even leave an after images and keep rolling out her performance to get a powerful blow that will penetrate the fortified defense of Greenie, on the other side, Greenie rain down again some plant spikes at Inoue's direction, barraging the foreground like hell, Inoue control back her fallen sword wings and command to deflect all the incoming projectile.
The sword wings disperse and slash automatically all the bullets, Inoue jumps high from the ground and charge the "Eien No Ten" in full burst, Greenie saw it and prepare to block with full resistance, another collision erupted in both sides, the power is so strong that even the whole room began to tremble, Greenie smiles, Inoue alarms and kicked the shield to go away from her.
"Blossom Force!" Greenie roars as she was enveloped with a powerful petal force that blown away the smoke around them, with the combination of wind and nature power, this technique was a very special defensive utility for a level ten mage like greenie.
Inoue was quiet lucky to dodge the ability, she acknowledge its power and superiority in fortification of offense and defense stance, this ability is quiet indeed strong and powerful to deflect any projectile and weaponry head on, looks like this will be a head ache for Inoue, yet the girl didn’t give any specification of being threaten and yet she felt her blood boil and her instinct kicks in like this will be a fun fight.
"Celestial Skill "Razor Mirage” Go!" Inoue shouts she began to disperse into a group of afterimages, making a series of slashing combo and deadly strikes, Greenie was surprised, it was much faster than Celestial Skill "Blade Dance".
Instead of one head on fast combo of speed of light attack, this one is more only an illusionary combo, Like there is more Inoue formed and making a rack of strikes, Greenie found herself in huge pinch, slashes marks on her arms and other blind spots and even her wings didn't escape and shown mercy.
"Aauugghh!" Greenie cried out, as the green blood splurt from her wound and some of it is start to leaking in her mouth.
Inoue landed on the ground again as she keen her eyes and lock on to the whole figure of Greenie, she analyze the weak points of her opponent as per taught by Yinhua to her, she was so happy to see that her efforts goes not in vain, Inoue charges again and this time much more faster than before, leaving again some mirror images of her in just mere seconds, greenie was pressured, but she think carefully of what method shall she use to counter.
“I won’t let you land mere single blows to me again!” Greenie roars and her wings begin to glitter in light, she get her vine whip and seed gun that floating and attach to her both arms and show , she then start to barrage the seed bullet curtain to the illusions of Inoue as it passes through the mirror images of Inoue and sparks once it hits the solid grounds.
“Where is she?” Greenie question as she found out that all the hit targets are just a mirage.
So many Inoue Yamato figures that are swiping their blades and start to make a barrage of slashes, all of them are making a deadly arc slash at Greenie, which as to why Greenie pressured to use the “Blossom Force to defend herself from the vicious attacks and unpredictable strikes coming from the illusions, Greenie sharpens her sense yet she can’t detect Inoue’s presence, like she is deducting where is the wind coming from.
But suddenly she felt a strong killing intent at her side and when she was about to gazed, a very cold and shining blade is about to land in her left cheek, she dodge it but it leaves a wound on her face as the blood flows, Greenie was surprised as she touched her face and saw green blood leaking from her cheek, Inoue reappears at the side of Yinhua, still gritting her teeth in disappointment, Delfin is right, Greenie is very tough opponent.
But Inoue never lose hope but least being motivated because Yinhua is watching her performance, she want to show to her master how strong a full contract Celestial Maiden can fight compare to her dormant form before, Inoue tighten her grip to her blade and then a resonance became to spread the whole room, even Greenie is captured inside the resonance, Inoue become in profound state, thinking of way to defeat Greenie as soon as possible.
“You can do it Inoue, You can make it possible” Yinhua thought as she made a few hand signs to complete her mysterious array as she watch Inoue’s back figure that reminds of her daughter fighting stance.
“Celestial Skill ”Blade Of The Moon Over The Seas” Go!!” Inoue announces her skill again but this time, the blades become to form of flying blades that spinning and shining like a silver moon in the sky as it illuminates the calm of the seas.
Inoue dashes as she throws a set of Illuminate swords to Greenie, Greenie summons a truck shield to blocked, but due to her surprise, the swords penetrates and following her, Greenie waves her whip and disabling the blades but futile, Greenie makes a magic spell and invoke a green smoke to cover her and use it to barrage Inoue some seedling bullets, Inoue order some of her illuminate blades to deflect and command her sword wings to come back to her.
“Buy time to run, futile to hide” Inoue said as she swings her “Eien No Ten” in wide arc.
The wind pressure coming from the blade is too strong as it blows away the smoke and revealed greenie with enraged face, Greenie commands her orbital samplings and make a summons, the plant deforms and turn into a vine monsters, Inoue rushes and start to hack and strike the vine monsters without resistance, using her illuminate swords and sword wings to slash and cut down the row to disarray the alignment of the monsters.
Yinhua was astonished in Inoue’s feat, she can’t felt to bit her finger in excitement, truly be deserve to be a servant and to be trained as a great swordsman, the array that Yinhua sets is about to finish, Inoue crashes her opponents like bugs and blow them away in one swing, Inoue walks like a death god coming to claim lives, Greenie on the other side is thinking what method she will use to resist Inoue’s attack.
“Call upon the roots of creation, arise from the branches of succession, re-growth the life of plantation, summon upon me! “Seeds Of Ever-Garden”!!” Greenie completes the chant as her body bulges and ripped apart and releases vines that cover her whole body.
Inoue stops for a moment as she watches Greenie’s transformation, suddenly below the grounds emerges a sprawling roots arise and cover the whole being of Greenie, enveloping her and taken away from the sights of Yinhua and Inoue, Yinhua finishes the array and the array opens a portal like structures, Yinhua summons an Odachi blade again and then walk to the side of Inoue and touch Inoue’s hip with her free hand.
Inoue stiffens a little as she saw Yinhua lay her head on her shoulder, Yinhua smiles as she look to the sprouting roots that bulging and straggling the center, Inoue smiles in earnest, this is the first time she found a good opponent for her first transformation of being a full contract Celestial Maiden, so much excitement she felt and specially her bond with Yinhua improves, looks like Yinhua softens to her little by little.
“Inoue, you are so amazing, but still it is not enough, did you see it my dear?” Yinhua said plainly as she stares to the horrid monster in their front.
“Master, your servant’s here has seen her about to breakthrough to her limit, it’s only a miracle if she make it alive, that’s her final and yet lunatic move of setting her power for a great destruction” Inoue surmised as she instinctively seen through to Greenie’s power intentions.
Stolen story; please report.
<<<<====/////░░░▒█▀▀█▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀█▀▀█▒░░░\\\\\====>>>>
The roots up-rises from the ground, from afar, Delfin can be seen at the top of the mountain, she was amaze in in the first time she saw the emerging plant arise from the ground, Delfin knows about it, the hidden power, the hidden potential, and the final form of Greenie.
“Ever-Garden Fairy of Lost”
She then heeds to her destination and chuckled, looks like she know that the two powerful opponents she been fought will fight the monstrous power form of Greenie, hope that they can make it barely alive to escape from that power that can par the level of a Magus.
<<<<====/////░░░▒█▀▀█▀▀█▄▄▄█▀▀█▀▀█▒░░░\\\\\====>>>>
Somewhere near the Secret base, two hooded figures with powerful aura notice the earth shaken and arising of the plant behemoth, at their back is the group of Dark Mages who barely survives and find a way out, often some of them are being bruised due to the tantrum and commotion, they thank to themselves that they make it out and manage to escape from burying dead.
“Ditas, looks like Captain Greenie is in big pinch, any regards to the information of the perpetrator and which faction they were belonging to?” The cold voice can be heard in the tall figure as he gazed to the small hooded one.
“Sad to say milord Noctus, the enemies is flawless in their assault, not leaving any traces and identity to figures, my greatest apologize for being careless about our situation” Ditas replied with pleading tone.
“My dear, don’t let it bother you, the enemy is surely forminable in setting things, a perfect rival, I want to see them and have a good meet up, but alas, the other officials does not want me to battle due to the other planning that I will be needed, truly disappointing” Noctus spokes cold as he was pleased in the enemies way of stealth assaults.
“My gracious, Milord Noctus” Ditas said as she smile behind her cloak, and follow Archmage Noctus that leading their armies to survive and move on the other settled base to hide and rest.
“Worry not my dear, everyone has its own mistakes and failures, even how much tight our traps and security, there will be one perpetrator can manage to breach it without flaws, and that one is the source of commotion in our former base now, it’s not your fault or our Dark mages army, because we are so much confident that we are not aware of our surroundings” Noctus replied and give a smile to Ditas, which make the one to blush red.
“Milord, I,,” Ditas want to spoke but no words came out to her mouth, all she can respond is a deep hug to his mentor’s back.
Achmage Noctus let Ditas to embrace him and just pat her head as they move along with the survivors, half of the dark mages manage to escape their death, some of them are truly enrage, some are become emotional, some are doesn’t give a damn hell about their fallen comrades, all for this night is to find the second base that will be their temporary headquarters and become more alert and vigilant so that situation and event earlier will not repeated again.

Meanwhile at the base camp of the south where the Lightenguards forces settling, two powerful figures arrive and having a talk with Lady Maia, one is wearing a red cloak and the other is black, this is Marcia and Luciel who is yet arrived from the Lightenguard kingdom, and their mission is to find Lady Yinhua and secure her safety and to ensure the victory of the Lightenguard Kingdom.
“She went to the west side of Fregalia dukedom along with the Legendary Celestial Maiden “Sword General” Inoue Yamato, based on the last report of the other forces there, looks like she is planning on something” Lady Maia presumes as she crossed her arms and look to the map.
“I see” Luciel said as she nods and look to Marcia, Marcia signals too.
Suddenly a footman rushes inside and report in their fronts.
“Greetings and good evening, Archmage Medes is here to have a discussion with Your grace” The knight kneeled and bow.
“Let him in” Lady Maia replied as she stood up along with the two powerful Archmages.
sooner the tent doors open and revealed a grown man with white hair and mustache, with a calm face but yet his eyes shown no mercy to his foes, he has a white cloaked with ornamented suits and gears, he has gold staff, Archamage Level four, Armando Medes Levich Capistrano, Wilhelm’s uncle.
“A gigantic plant arise from afar, Looks like someone is using the “Seeds Of Ever-garden” We shall go and move who is this lunatic Nature mage using some dangerous seed” Medes said in serious tone.
“We will, sir Medes!” Marcia replied with honesty while Luciel just shrugged.
“You three, be careful, may god bless you” Lady Maia said as she weep her sweat in her forehead, she never expected how perilous now the situation in Fregalia kingdom.
“We will come back” Medes said as move out.
“And together to rescue Lady Yinhua” Luciel added as Marcia follows him to go outside.
The three leaves as they approach the greater danger in the west, Archmage Medes was quiet surprised to witness the overgrown gigantic plant arise from the depths of earth and show its massive stature, as for the two, they never expected to encounter a powerful archmage Like Medes, this is their first time to see what will be the show of power development can be witness from this old man.

Back to Yinhua and Inoue, the two saw the flowers budding up on the vines and mutated blooms and let a glow in each petals, Yinhua just crossed her arms while Inoue prepare a battle stance to show off in the front of her beloved master, Yinhua is keening her sense and study the formation of transformation of Greenie as the midget used her final trump card.
“Well that’s reminds me of Echidna back in DMC four, sign I miss my moves back then when playing as Nero and Dante, so then Miss Midget, I won’t hold back, or I will never pulled any of my punches, come on!” Yinhua said as she swipe again her Odachi and charge her chi on it.
“Master, it will be a great honor to fight by your side!” Inoue spoke as she felt joy that she will fight with her master for the first time.
“Flattery will get you nowhere, Inoue, but show me what you’ve got in your sleeves, maybe you will get my acknowledgement” Yinhua replied with a cunning smile at Inoue.
“Master, this servant purpose is to serve you with her whole being and to win Sky Palace Tournament to give my predecessors some honor and fame to my group and sisters in Chaos Strikers” Inoue retort while being flustered in Yinhua’s rejecting replied.
“More work, less talk, there she is again” Yinhua rebut as she dashes to dodge the sudden vine wip coming from the behemoth plant, Inoue alarmed.
“Impudent buffoons!” Inoue said with underestimating tone as she sends her illuminate blades to cut down the vines that want to give harm for her and her master.
“RAIKIRI!” Yinhua shouts her ability attack, unleashing a series of lightning slashes as it cut down the vines that attacking them flawlessly.
The vine attackers was whipped down by the two, either being cut by Inoue’s “Eien No Ten”, Sword Wings, Illuminate swords of “Celestial Skill ”Blade Of The Moon Over The Seas” and other types of Celestial Skills, as for Yinhua, she flawlessly cut down any Vines that want to hamper her way without distraction or delay, she making side steps, tumble, jumping and hopping and dashes to her target to hack it down, she looks like dancing in her way of moving of her blade.
Inoue watches her master graceful dance; her blade combination was superior and incredible, flawless and clean, like a stream and river flow, unstoppable, such exquisite beauty and style, Yinhua slashe her target without looking at them like she can predict and deduct their next attack and point of view target, Inoue knows how far the gap of power and experience she compare from Yinhua, no master of swords can even manage to do the sword arts and techniques that Yinhua performs.
“In each steps, power can be seen, in every move, balance and coordination, this dance will be witness by our enemies and the last thing will they saw is blade cut to their throat and blood is spilling beautiful” Yinhua said while swinging her blade in very fast and yet gallant movement.
Inoue was truly shock and amaze, she then start to mimic her masters movement and start to slash down the vines while keep moving forward without delay, both servant and master are showing unity and coordination, like a two dragons that soaring the skies, many vines fall and cut down by them, they were unstoppable force of nature, showing their sword dances with perfect sync and harmony.
“We are one, one blade, one soul!”
Both the two announces as they pressed forward closer to the target, the plant behemoth flowers release a seed bullets at their direction, Yinhua jumps in the air and spins her Odachi, deflecting all the incoming pellets, giving a way for Inoue, Inoue jumps too and order her sword wings to stab on the root skin to make a steeps for both of them, Yinhua step on one sword wings and jumps higher making a spinning slash.
Cutting down the flowers to stop the projectiles, just to gives Inoue an opportunity for openings, Inoue charges her blade and the blade glows and imbued with violet and dark power, it resonates so strong as Yinhua felt it’s power exceeding to her calculations, Yinhua just smirk as she once again witness Inoue’s Celestial Ultimate.
“With this I can give you a one way to deepest part of the underworld, Celestial Ultimate “Soul Blade of Divine Sky”!!” Inoue roars as the lights formed above her and many thousand swords appeared beside her.
“DIE!”
And blades rushes and falls to the Behemoth plant.
