Unlike Pallas, Sylvie, and Wepwawet—who were all struck dumb by the spectacle over the Mystic Woods—Caelus was currently overflowing with heroic spirit, his eyes shining like twin stars.
Caelus knew exactly what was happening. This was a demonstration from his master, Thresh. Invading the Verdant Cloud Realm was secondary; the Commander was taking the opportunity to teach his disciple a lesson in swordsmanship.
Caelus stared at one of the colossal leviathans chasing down a native demigod. His hands trembled. The twin blades in his grip hummed in resonance.
After a long moment, Caelus threw his head back and let out an earth-shattering roar.
"The fish enters the sea; the blade aura spans ten thousand feet!"
With that roar, Caelus transformed into a towering wave of blade aura, taking the form of a massive fish to join the silver swarm's feast.
"Are they... the gods from the legends?" Sylvie whispered, her voice trembling, speaking almost unconsciously.
