Abyssal Awakening

Meanwhile, the battle was reaching an all time high with six star beasts and six Sigil humans deploying their second resonances all around her.

After talking with Velouria, both Allura and Kaden got their wishes as they sat next to each other on a cliff overlooking the entire battlefield.

"I\'m guessing we just wait to see who makes a move first right?" Allura asked as Kaden nodded his head.

"Orrr…"

"You could launch a sneak attack if you want to. But it has to be a pretty damn good one." Kaden chuckled, knowing that Allura wanted to take the initiative to start this fight.

Right now, all of the Abyss Lords and Apostles were sitting back and letting others fight. But once they make a move, it will cease to be a battle for fodder but an all out war between both sides.

"I\'m like… 80%? Confident that I can land a pretty nasty hit if you can cover for me while I prepare." Allura crossed her arms while thinking about what attack would be best.

"I know. But when I say a good one, I mean one that doesn\'t expose your full strength while also being able to injure them. We need to be wary about them but also our allies since we don\'t know when they\'ll turn against Master." Kaden reminded.

"Master\'s got Commander next to her, it\'ll be alright, no?"

\'Not really.\' Kaden thought to himself. For this fight, he had left a feather for Alice similar to what he did in the future. What way, it can protect her life if she ever gets into any serious danger. However, it also served as a medium for him to see what was going on.

That conversation she had with Nyer, he heard all of it.

Recalling this, Kaden couldn\'t help but furrow his brows as he didn\'t think Nyer would go this far. He understood Nyer\'s sentiment but this… was too extreme. He also doesn\'t want Velouria to die but to endanger Alice who is their future is insanity.

\'As long as she can find a solution, Nyer wouldn\'t make a move. So right now, it should be fine to trust him next to Master.\' Kaden concluded before reassuring Allura that Velouria would be safe.

\'For Alice to find the Will, she\'ll need to somehow get past the Reaper in the back.\'

"Master would be safe but I\'m worried about us and the Lords we have on our side. If the Apostles of the Three Gods turned on us all at once, even for me and you, it\'ll be difficult to stop them from killing others." He shrugged with a sigh.

"Then we just gotta finish it quickly. You know, after watching Alice constantly, I\'ve been getting some ideas of my own. The way she uses her powers is rather inspiring." Allura chuckled as she stood up and gave her body a stretch.

"I\'m going to give them a quick wake up call. But don\'t worry, I won\'t be using all of my power. It\'ll be a brand new attack none of them have seen before." She cracked her knuckle as Kaden chuckled before standing up.

"I know I said it before but be careful alright? I\'ll be a little preoccupied with dealing with the Abyss Lord of Waters so I won\'t be able to cover for you as well as I could before." Kaden reminded as Allura nodded her head.

Closing her eyes, she began to focus as Kaden flicked his wrist and created a barrier of shadow around them.

Out of all the Apostles, only War and Famine took notice as the other four were too busy instructing their soldiers.

For the members belonging to the Cult, dying in war was the highest honour they could receive so neither War or Famine were bothered.

"Allura is making a move." War narrowed his eyes while Famine licked her lips.

"Has the Lord made a decision yet? We\'ve agreed to Velouria\'s terms but does that limit our targets?"

"Patience. Slaughter will come in due time, even if it is not now. For now, simply let us bask in the radiance of War, our Lord will choose what is right." War crossed his arms while glancing over to Enris who was chatting with Velouria with a grin on her face.

Enris has naturally told them of her decision to help Velouria as it would cause the most amount of chaos. But she never said what they would do afterwards.

Meaning, that once the first goal had been achieved, they were free to target whoever they wanted.

###

Compared to the other Abyss Lords and Apostles, Allura\'s Sigils were simple minded to put it bluntly. Her first Sigil granted her fire control, her second allowed her to coat her body in flames to reinforce her physical power and her third allowed her to condense her fire into attacks.

She was made into an Apostle rather early and using the blessing, she moulded the rest of her Sigils to suit her needs with the blessing.

Her fourth being an example of this, creating invisible blades to stop healing. Her fifth allowed her to further enhance her strength. Her sixth Sigil allowed her to skip the \'travel\' process of her slashes, letting them hit her target immediately and sundering the soul, allowing her to hunt even the incorporeal beings such as Immortality and Spirituality.

It was this Sigil that allowed her to kill the previous owner of the Spirituality blessing.

And finally, her seventh Sigil.

The Sigil she gained to become a Lord and served as a basis for her title.

Unlike others, Allura does not own a personal realm to serve as her second Resonance. Rather, her second resonance has been fused with her seventh Sigil.

If Alice was here to see Allura, she would see the Sigils above her head begin to change as Allura tapped into her power as an Abyss Lord rather than an Apostle.

[Abyss Lord of Execution: Allura - ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦]

However, her goal was not to go all out in this strike. No, it was to refine her understanding of her current Sigils without tapping into the seventh.

A goal of pushing each ability she gained to its absolute limit!

Within the darkness of the cocoon, the flames around Allura began to crackle and spark. An aura of flames radiated around her, threatening to dispel the shadow as Kaden put his entire focus on hiding Allura\'s aura from the outside world until she was ready.

Allura recalled Alice\'s movements as she used Bloodline Release along with her Resonance to boost her power.

Knowing her own Sigil, Allura was confident that she could push her flames to the next level. To use her body as an engine of destruction while the flames combust within, granting her a boost in power.

Her first, second and third Sigil began to twist across her body, bursting with a bright golden red. It was a state similar to her Resonance yet very different at the same time. A new technique!

She doesn\'t need the invisible blades to strike out. She merely needs it to follow her every action, coating her attacks and her body. To enhance her flames so that each attack was one that could hinder the power of healing.

Her fifth Sigil, Berserker\'s flame, one that would grant her a boost in power the closer she got to death. Using her first three Sigils and her body as an engine, she was in a constant state of death and rebirth! Thus allowing the Berserker\'s flame to continuously climb in strength!

*BANG!!!!

Tearing apart Kaden\'s barrier, Allura\'s aura skyrocketed as a pillar of power erupted into the sky, attracting everyone\'s attention.

With his barrier being broken, Kaden was flung back from the power as he barely managed to stabilise himself.

\'Like mother like daughter.\' Kaden smiled, shielding his eyes from the light.

Both of them wanted to impress the other, not wanting to get left behind and both were competitive without equal.

Much like how Alice could surpass her constraints and kill beasts stronger than her with the help of her body, Allura was now finding ways to surpass her power as a seven Sigil Abyss Lord!

Her aura continued to climb as her form changed to match her power.

Allura\'s hair had turned into a flickering mass of white flames as glowing Sigils could be seen across her body.

Her target? Only one!

Abyss Lord of Destruction: Shura!

Taking a single step forward, Allura\'s body disappeared.

*BANG!!!!

Lagging behind her speed, the sound of her movement erupted as the skies were torn in half by a single flaming slash!

Not even the Gods had seen what happened before noticing the end result of her attack.

A sea of clouds parted, the skies split and a single line of destruction.

In one movement, Allura breached the defences of the opposing army and arrived in front of the Abyss Lord of Destruction. Her slash tore through the glass like material that acted as her body as the fabric of reality around them began to twist.

Shura glared at Allura with a pair of widened eyes as she did not expect a sudden attack like this.

"Seven Days of Execution: First Day." Allura muttered before stomping down with her foot. Grabbing Shura by the face, she twisted her body and threw the Abyss Lord into the air as both the Abyss Lord of Waters and Metamorphosis tried to stop her.

However, Thalassa found herself sinking into her shadow while Morpheus was unable to move his body.

Kaden and Nyer!

Seven Days of Execution: Second Day!

The world darkened as this realm had now become part of Allura\'s personal realm!

A new technique born from her observation of Alice.

The Seven Days of Execution.

With each passing \'day\', her power will grow without stop. Upon reaching the Seventh day, she will carry out her task as the Executioner where her power reaches its apex.

A power separate from her Authority of severance.

While Alice may not realise it, her presence has allowed this memory of Allura to surpass her real self at this moment in time.

Right now, this was Allura at her strongest!
