Xomac Tepin - Raid on Huli Maou (3/22) (CoI)

[20:09:23] At first? There is silence. No sound flows through the woods, the world quieting for a few moments. And then? Far before they are seen they are felt. The hatred radiating in the air, the anger. Although it isn't said there is an all consuming feeling of hate, swirling, put into one single form. Golden wings grow from his back as he ascends to the skyline, cosmic's ethereal ability surrounding him.

"When I said 'send your leader, or we will strike' did you think that I was lying? 'You have two months or I will stike' I said. And yet the Jianghese ignored. I am not one for games. My word is bond.

Atl. Cross the territory. Over the river, capture the Jianghese. Take their magi. Take their non-magi. I care not. Take them, and crush any who would stand in your way. Follow your God into battle, follow your God into all battle.

FIGHT, BLEED, KILL, DIE, IN THE NAME OF XOMAC TEPIN. PURGE THEIR BELIEF THAT ATL IS SOMETHING TRIVAL, THAT ATL CAN BE IGNORED.

Let loose the blood."
(Xomac Tepin)

[20:10:14] The water sprayed high into the air as Mercuria's first footsteps fell upon it. There were no tricks. No magics. The warchief led the charge straight into the Jianghuran lands by running straight across the water, her speed such a blur that it practically rained in her wake.

"Let nothing stop Atl this day! Jianghu stands for Azrael now! They would allow the Betrayer's forces to hide amongst them! They attempt to steal our land from us, and then cry for peace when faced with our might!"

"I WILL NOT ABIDE FOR A LAND OF COWARDS AND THIEVES TO EXIST ALONGSIDE ATL! WE ONCE GAVE OUR BLOOD TO PROTECT THEIR PEOPLE, AND STILL THEY WOULD STRIKE US THE MOMENT OUR BACK IS TURNED! LEAVE NOTHING LEFT OF THEM BUT THE MEMORY OF THEIR DISHONOR!"

She'd raise the moonlight blade towards the sky, and point it towards them. "SHOW THEM THE TRUTH OF THIS WORLD!"
(Mercuria)

[20:13:39] Hototo raises his hands, shouting praise.

"GLORY TO ATL, GLORY TO XOMAC, GLORY TO THE WAY OF BLOOD!"
(Hototo)

[20:15:21] The blue haired water dancer glided her way into the battlefield, following behind her chieftain and warchiefs. She had a bright smile on her face, pulling her staff forward. She didn't look Gehennan, perhaps it had to do with the fact her mother was Shengese, an Ocualli of Atl.

"Glory to Atl!" She chimed, letting out a giggle afterwards. Despite her cheery and jovial demeanor, there was something a bit sinister to the girl. She stood ready, silently observing the Jianghuren forces.
(Nizhoni )

[20:15:21] Arriving at the place, Tarlac was ready. He had already trained and now the time has come to show whether he has improved or not.

Facing those who were there .. Tarlac remained silent while listening to Xomac and the others talking ..

Prepared .. With his staff in hand ... Waiting ...
(Tarlac Rovar)

[20:16:12] Staring at the Gehennan abominations, she'd stay calm.

Composure.

Taking her spear off her back, she'd stick it into the ground.

Again, calm.
"Brothers! Sisters! This is time for yet another trial. We're getting tested. Ardent is getting tested, Jianghu, SHENG is getting tested. What is getting tested the most, is our devotion."

She stopped, if only for a while, before continuing. She wasn't excited as usual, nor cheerful.

"We are the dukes of our destinies, bestowed VICTORY by our Emperor. Strike not to kill, but to protect. Strike not to maim, but to defend. Keep your rage at bay, keep your composure." - Again, she stopped for a while, glaring at the incoming Gehennan forces.
"We are the Sons and Daughters of His Majesty, and he's watching over us in this trial. Weshan't fall. Huli Mao shan't fall, either. It is the non-believers who shall fall." - She continued, before speaking up, almost shouting, so her voice reaches the Gehennan forces.
"Our Emperor is Forgiving. Turn away, non-believers, and live another day. If not, we shall strike you down with utmost respect."

She turned back to the crowd behind her, finishing:
"Emperor watch over us."

[20:17:04] Following the leaders, he stayed on the back, watching the lands of Jianghu, seeking a prey, he was here to bring glory, to have a feast with the other people from Atl, it was exciting.

"Glory to atl!"

A scream was heard from him, after that the occult flame started to cover his body, he was starting to focus, preparing himself to battle.
(Nochte)
[20:17:55] A sharp note played upon the commands of the Chieftain. his words resonating with him. his hatred fueling his core. He slings his guitar to his back, his emotionless face half hidden by the mask he wore. He had left them, the weak, soft, deplorable bunch residing in Jinaghu lands.

He sought conflict. He knew he wouldn't get any while remaining there. His choice was his own, and now his loyalties would be tested here. His hatred now on overdrive, fueled and resonating with Xomac's very own. Cracking his knuckles, one by one with a audible pop. He tilts his head, crimson eyes lancing to his enemies, from one side to the next.

"As you command Oh mighty "God"..." he responded in a monotone and stoic form.

"Let the carnage...Begin"
(Jokor)

[20:17:55] Geese would just stand there, doing his own thing. Watching as the ATL rolled up.

He really didn't want to deal with this bullshit.

"So once more the cycle of death continues. Are we truly sane for binding ourselves to such a fate? But so be it. To protect my home I'll fight you back, Atl."

He'd draw his staff and ignite his BLAZING AURA. He was ready to fight.
(Geese Húzi)

[20:17:55] The line must be held, he could feel the stillness fade away, the chants for war and pride and blood. Battle, was all this place knew was battle, slowly he was becoming disillusioned to the *glory* in battle. Still, he would defend the land from anyone willing to soil it with the blood of his people, defeat could not be an option.

The force of the arcane, the natural life energy that bound them all together, the power that allowed all life to live in harmony...today that life would set itself ablaze in the art of war.

"We hold the line and protect your fellow brothers in arms! LET NO ONE YIELD TO THE LIKES OF THE PROFANE, LET NO ONE YIELD TO THE LIKES OF COWARDICE, LET NO ONE YIELD TO THE LIKES OF WARMONGERING. TO LONG HAVE WE SAT BY AS THEY COME AND CORRUPT AND TAINT THE LAND IN INNOCENT BLOOD. WE FIGHT FOR PURITY, WE FIGHT FOR HONOR, WE FIGHT FOR HOPE AND PEACE!"

His vigor was ignited, he could feel his body tremble and harden with the force oflife flowing through him. His skin was singed with a brilliant white light that shinned and warmed all of his fellow Jiangians, a light filled with the celestial energy of the stars.

Unarmed, he moves into battle with only protecting his people in mind...at all costs.
(Vyn)
[20:18:46] "Mother Moon! I beseech of you your blessing, with which I might ward off the infidel. Father Sun! I beg you guide my light true and strike down my foes. Might they be brought to face the full wrath of your most GLORIOUS INCANDSCENCE and found wanting."

The local Illuminate extremist clasps his hands in fevered prayer. He rests on the plains, knees settled on the earth; his head is bowed before him, eyes struck with the furor that only a true zealot can muster. The battle to come has him incredibly elated.

After the praising finishes, he rises to his feet and draws his Valmasian mana rifle from his back. A brief glance trails down the long, polished barrel and the sharp point it's mounted bayonnete comes to.
(Choi Tae-Moon)

[20:18:46] The young lass of a red uniform had her heart beating and pumping at a rate entirely new to her. Despite her military background and early days, that was going to be her very first actual battle, and the soldier's anxiety was definitely coming to her. All of the instructions and preparations were basically thrown out of the window when she finally laid her eyes on the Atl, and their leader.

Gritting her teeth and trying to find her own courage in that naive bravado of a young soldier, Zetian stomped her foot on the ground, parting her legs open and bringing both hands to her waist level. Apparently, she was starting to assume a fighting stance of some kind, definitely of a martial arts nature.

A deep breath came to her, as she finally tried to exale all of her fears and anxiety before the battle. She needed to concentrate, after all.
(Wu Zetian)

[20:18:46] "Hm.."

Aizen faced the wrong direction, quickly turning to face the crowd. Their heart was beating face. Aizen inhaled the oxygen around the area, striking a nice pose with their army near them. The Tensho waved at the Atl tribesmen. "Okay, let's fight." The Sirenian turned on their Cosmic aura to burst their magic power.

"Heroooooo."
(Hero)
[20:19:37] Yurei stands, emotionless in the face. Her half eyed expression staring down the others. The loud ones specifically, she was unsure if she should say anything in the slightest. She drew her staff for the first time, igniting blue flames over some of the metal to make it emulate a scythe's blade from the blue glow.

She was focused as her eyes turned feral, staring down the others. She wanted to see how training paid off... Her ghostly appearance paired with her kimono and snow white mane flowing into the breeze.
(Sato, Yurei)
[20:19:37] Standing in formation with the weird uplanders, Silky stared at the screaming Gehennans who crossed the river. The Selkie gripped with the Jianghese staff. After a bit, it raised its staff, and took a deep breath..

"Uhh.. Beat the warmongers, for Papa Yama!"

..With that said, the Sirenian shuffled towards the back of the formation, just for a moment.
(Silky)
Round 1 is won by Geese and Dito
Round 2 is won by Xomac. Both sides oom.
Round 3 is won by Xomac.
[20:46:56] Xomac wastes no time. The red haired man takes to the sky, flying over the fort and striking with his spear. Teeth are grit, the chieftain of Atl seeming to be quite intent on giving pain out to the closest indivisual there. The power of pride surrounds him, healing any wounds and as soilders impale his body, they quickly close. A smirk spreads over Xomac's features.

"You can't harm a God. What innocent insolence."

The quickly finds itself two rather strong magi. It imbeds its end into them, slices at their skin, spills blood. The first to fall however, is the only one to be grasped by the sin magi. The silver hue looks in his face as hatred shrouds the Atlan.

"You are nothing. Any who stand against the God of Atl are filth. If your leader won't meet me, bloodshead will come again. His people will be slaughtered, blood will run through your streets.

Jianghu will meet all demands of Xomac Tepin. Or it will burn in my hellfire. Pray to me."

The words are said, and as he speaks.. it they imbed themselves into the mind of Dito. The pride siphons, devours, the words repeating in his ears as Dito's pride is stolen. Instead there exists only fear, fear of Xomac..

In Dito's mind? The man before him would truly be God.

The boy is tossed aside, and Geese is focused on. An orb of golden energy makes its mark, throwing the magi into a nearby mountain. The spear attempts to find its mark, to draw blood but luckily as it stabs into the fighter's side nothing important is scratched, perhaps only leaving a scar.

"And you. You are also filth. Any who would rise against me are filth. Tell your leader to come to Gehenna. Or slaughter will begin. Next time.. I will not be so nice.

Pray there is no next time."

Neither sustain any bodily injuries but.. Dito's mind would be left fearful for quite a while.

"I am God. Do not stand against me. Pray to my name."

With that? The man flies off towards the civilian part of the town, likely expecting to make good on his promise to take the non-magi.
(Xomac Tepin)

[20:53:45] Xomac was perhaps some sorta ironic anti-thesis to Geese. He could fly... Geese couldn't, that was a big thing to him! He was a bit ashamed but whatever he'd soldier on.

Fighting Xomac though was interesting. Initially he fought with regret. Someone he thought could be his friend, someone who had even saved Lynettes life, now stood against him. Leading a raid to kill those he wishes to protect. But so be it.

Geese would strive to cleanse this corruption.

Or I mean would, his whips and rocks came up short and Xomac would not be repelled. They had the upper hand for a bit but the more experienced Magi had him down.

He'd look out and see Xomac do... something odd. Stealing something from Dito. He couldn't be sure that's what it was but that's what it felt like. A disgust would creep over him, his beliefs of the corruption of Gehenna reaffirmed.

He'd lay there on the ground briefly, getting up after Xomac had flew off. It was time to tend to his Pupil and anyone else.
(Geese Húzi)

[21:00:35] Xomac was...terrifying. His every movement seemed to instill fear into Dito but none the less he tried his best. Fighting Xomac along side his mentor he thought they would win. He didnt want to let his mentor down but in the end he did.

As he gave one last swing of his sword before faltering due to the mans power. Xomac easly grasped Dito and uttered terrable terrable words to Dito. The words worming themselves into Dito's mind. Festering and eating away at his pride that was now being stolen. The only thought in his mind was fear. The absolute fear of the man before him. This demon. This deity. As Dito was tossed aside his eyes fearfully followed the man. Shivering from his spot on the ground as the man flies off towards the civilian area. Leaving Dito rooted in place with primal fear.
(Dito)

[21:37:16] 3-3 For Atl and Jianghese defense. It's a draw!

Mugil has been captured by the Jianghese.
Silky has been captured by the Atl.

u Zetian and Hototo are still fighting to this day.

The Atl half-succeed in their objective-- they have 6 NPC civilians, two being kidnapped by each magi that wasn't interceded.

Xomac Tepin demands to the Jianghese defense force to speak with their leader-- would this demand be met after such a conflict?
(`Admin)

[21:39:50] 8 Magi snuck over for a hit & run on a several dozen-mile/kilometre wide territory. Nine of JH's magi intercepted and managed to stifle much of their assault.
However, 6 civilians seem have been kidnapped...
