The golden era is a time of conflict, strife, & countless wars amongst factions and themselves. This confrontation is one such act during a fateful evening somewhere between the bridges of fate & destiny, within the in-between a calamity known only as the "blasphemous one". and how he did such a thing to gain him this horrid title and that is where this terrible tale begins.
——————————————————
Two figures appear walking along the branch of a world tree formed within the in-between, one of the calamities is dressed in black robes with long pointed hat sitting atop his nightly shaded curly hair whilst wearying a crystal monocle over his left eye and light brown pouch around waist with similar colored pants & boots to compare. The twitching crimson third eye that splits vertically on his head contrasting with his deep round black eyes very calmly.
His face is both unusually soft and quite beautiful like a porcelain doll, but in truth this is hiding behind a deeper darkness, next to him is his partner, a standard practice of calamities is to have at least two of their own with one another.
Tap! tap! Tap!
Their footsteps were light and while looking over to his fellow calamity who looked both feminine and masculine wearing a similar style of divine wear in their robe style, alongside having two curved black horns and a pair of bat-like wings folded behind their back. Still looking at his fellow calamity the young male let out a quiet methodical smile.
A moment later the silence broke.
"You know laffitte you always seem so carefree as if nothing bothers you at all, I mean we're currently in factional war with our opposing counterparts the weavers of balance and all you can do is smile?" They spoke with an air of genuine concern in their voice.
" Well there's a good reason for why I'm smiling adan, and that is because I've found our target now. His true hollow energy signature is quite high, if I had to guess he senses us as we'll already, preparing for a battle he knows will come at any moment."
Both of them begin to feel a deep aching sensation within their bodies simultaneously. liking prickling needles piercing into open wounds of flesh, the duo knew that this was an innate instinct of calamities and weavers where when in certain proximity of each other they could feel out one's presence nearby even at extreme distances.
Laffitte looked up squinting his eyes ever so slightly in the far distance to see High above the world tree's canopy and its many ever expanding branches, he saw the appearance of a floating weaver with four glowing wings and spiked crown sitting firmly atop his head draped in long flowing robes shrouded in a luminous aura of hollow energy.
Looking back down, then turning his head to look at adan, laffitte points his finger up then says "he's here be ready."
In under half of a second…
The weaver appears in a blinding flash of light his blade composed of true hollow energy & balance woven in, swinging down towards the two calamities with intensity greater than raging storm, jumping backwards narrowly avoiding while blade still careens down in between them crashing into massive tree branches.
quickly pointing his index and pinky fingers outward while leaving the rest folded, sigil activation; sundered veil… fingerflicking out his hand, creating a localized tear within reality, a jagged crack splits open mid-air dripping black Ichor, whispers of unnameable Origin echoing from the tear. Illusory Voices ringing in the weaver's mind tearing at his mind & soul.
Like a woodman heaving an axe with great force, the weaver blade comes down fully splitting through the tree branch cleanly. Adan dodges reacting with the speed of fleeing hair flying upwards into the air, creating two copies of themself that spread 5 meters apart from each-other, all them aim their pointer fingers at the four winged weaver blasting him with hyper condensed beams of hollow energy that fall upon weaver like burning meteorites.
Sensing the spark of hollow energy above him. male weaver flexes his wings flapping then outstretching them over overhead fusing all four wings into giant hand that blocks adan attack head on, although the force left from their attack pushes the weaver back down closer towards reality tear Lafitte created causing more mad whispers and otherworldly hums in his mind.
Moving his feet forward several hundreds of meters in less than a second, Lafitte traversing across one of the many ever growing branches aims his index finger outward burning it off while quietly vocalizing the words "lambda type: flow."
A torrent of pure lambda flows out like a never ending tsunami crashing down upon his weaver body from all angles, ripping into through reinforcement and partially destroying two of his four weaver wings alongside a now chipped crown.
"Lambda type: mirror." The weaver left index finger burns off.
However this attack didn't come without retaliation towards laffite, soon he felt a wave of heavy damage across his arms, chest, & legs realizing he was dealt a blow his eyes darted around whilst looking back over he then noticed one of the weavers fingers is burnt off signifying he's utilized lambda.
"Lambda huh, looks like we're both at 90% output." Laffite leaps back into a continuous somersaulting motion creating 40 meters of distance between himself and the weaver for a brief moment.
"Trust me there's plenty more, I know you've caused many calamities alongside your damned chaotic schemes." Not wasting another second, Raising both arms up above up to his chest hands tightly around the weavers blades hilt and while taking one heavy step forward in front leading with his left foot, He thrust his blade, one strike, two strikes, three strikes, four, five, six, seven, eight… he releases hundreds, no, over 10,000 strikes in 2 seconds of thrusting his blade.
One blade thrust after another is narrowly dodged by hairs margin, the level of precision & timing needed to perfectly dodge more than three hits of a powerful weaver attacks is nothing short of impressive & raw divine skill.
In the background while Laffitte & weaver continue battling. Adan rears up a devastating attack; grabbing hold fabrics of the in-between & mandlebrot like a person wringing out a towel, pulls then twists a piece of reality off forming it into a long whip.
SNAP!
Swinging with The exerted force of raging beast; Adan elongated mandelbrot whip slices & then stretched outward, snapping across the weavers back striking him, cutting off rest of the two wings that were partially damage.
AHHHH!!
Feeling the stinging pain of whip marks across his back, the weaver outstretched his right hand forming a portal in front of him and Laffitte.
Falling forwards into the portal he creates more distance while using restoration to heal up his wounds, rapidly growing back both his lost finger for 10% output and two butterfly wings.
Flesh, bones, & muscle tissue all reforming back together, whilst tethering back multiple layers of skin and hollow energy reinforcement.
" These damn calamities, I should've expected this though there usually always in pairs even when they're more than powerful enough to deal with an enemy
" I'll have to keep these two at a level of distance that's manageable, then take one of them out while going for the second one and finish it."
floating around in his portal, the weaver creates another large space-time rift splitting open reality with ease like it's nothing more then falling through air.
The portal appeared on one of the many higher leveled branches of the vast world tree sitting firmly within the in-between.
Two calamities sensed ahead of time, expecting an attack to come at any moment, but what came wasn't exactly expected.
In a blaze of dazzling blue flames, the portal that floated high above them blast out unending waves heated fury upon the two calamities scorching the entire branch that they resided on completely.
Within the endless walls of bright divine light, Adan & laffitte stand next to each other, both partially burnt and damaged around there arms & chests.
At the other end of the branch few meters the weaver now standing closer to them.
"My name is luthen, guardsman of the weaver council." His tone indifferent.
Laffitte cracks his hand. dark hollow energy covering & swirling around his body smoothly; bursting outward from the shoulder of mighty calamity forms a black bat-like wing with two curved horns and half broken red crown floating gently above his head, his third eye now open fully twitching sporadically looking everywhere.
"Partial manifestation: flow of calamity."
Now in heightened state of power and awareness laffitte looks towards luthen.
Luthen manifests a second avatar of himself to deal with Adan. while going after laffitte his eyes now narrowed onto the harrowing calamity new partial form.
In split second, all four dash towards each other, luthen coats his blade in luminous blue flames swinging with even greater force than moments prior. Adan swings they're mandlebrot whip through the air hissing after each strike against the hulking body of weavers avatar.
Laffitte flying up towards main body luthen creates miniature black hole in his hand, all matter in the area folding in on itself and around his hand, with the skillfulness of an elite thrower launches out the black hole from his hand with the flawless precision of a chaotic god.
The black hole flies across ever expanding world tree they fight upon, whilst warping and bending everything around it etetching ever closer to luthen.
Second later, luthen decides on countering with his own form attack; Raising his left hand high into the air with the flaming weaver blade in his right he expands his third eye intensely to view laffitte threads of cause and effect, seeing what would happen if the attack collided with his body and noting the damage he'd received if not careful.
Two of luthen wings merge together into one singular large one forming and expanding miniature white hole to create push and pull effect against the devilish calamity's black hole.
When both attacks collide, the white hole and black hole completely cancel each other out. forcing the two moves simultaneously to dissolve & collapse.
While fighting on the other end Adan battles with they're whip in hurricane of clashes against luthen avatar and powerful weaver blade coated in blue flames, each strike more precise
& deadlier then the next, yet still maintaining a high level of otherworldly beauty & transcendent dexterity with both of their attacks going at another.
The Avatar of luthen still keeping up
high paced momentum goes in with fast forward thrust with the flaming tip of his weaver blade aiming both pierce through and burn hole straight into Adan chest cavity cleanly without room for failure.
Adan jumps back with evasive action twisting their whips then pulling it upwards vertically to strike not at the blue flames blade itself but at the hand of luthen avatar swiftly slicing off three of the clones' fingers precisely.
Divine blood gushes and splatters against the smooth heavy wood of the world tree, although the attack was successful the blade that was still in motion towards Adan chest landed piercing them straight into the chest.
Calamitous blood spills from Adan chest dripping down to floor in heavy drops, they fall back a few steps to catch themselves swinging their whip almost wildly to keep the avatar at distance.
"Haha haha.. haha quite the moves you've got little weaver guard." Blood now trickled slightly from Adan's mouth.
The avatar of Luthen looks down at his hand for but a second gripping it tightly as self restoration kicks in, healing the three fingers back instantaneously.
" oh good for you, want some praise with that." Adan says half mockingly.
Firmly grasping the weaver blade, luthen reignites its ever shining blue flames now turned into pure white sparks, Adan face curls up into more serious expression realizing the output of true hollow energy & threat level white flames possess.
When used by weaver white flames represent completely cleansing and carry a level of output equal to dragon of annihilation ever devastating flame breath which is capable of burning through divine reinforcement & is classed as occurrence level attack.
Adan having faced other weavers before is well aware of the threat this blade now imposes even greater then what it was just moments before, knowing they can't slip up even for second goes on the offense utilizing two high calamity class spells.
Adan vocalizes one of two nigh-occurrence level calamitous spells:
"Lantern of black flames."
Manifesting in the air in front of the Weavers avatar is chaotically shaped blood red Latern with an black flame lighting its inside floating ghostly in the air; Adan extends their palm outward blowing the darkness flame from the red latern spreading a horrid wave of flames.
the second spell not even half a second later activates. Adan vocalizes once again this time in deeper more sinister tone of voice:
"cursed womb of ten thousand screams." Split-second later, Adan womb ripples & contracts then bursting forth with thousands of ghastly illusory hands expanding endlessly from their stomach.
The Wave of black flames mixed in with accusereded tens of thousands illusionary hands crashing onto the Avatar's body in an undending tsunami of darkness,blood, and death.
Luthen avatar covered in divine white flames burst foward with his beautiful butterfly wings flying through a tsunami of torrential chaos getting stabbed, clawed at or burnt from every conceivable angle on his clone body. repeatedly feeling the damaging effects tnat are going beyond just physical pain & is even wearing down and cracking at his soul outline.
Yet despite this luthen does not waver, his flames still shining as bright as possible. Adan now even more frustrated rains down spears of condensed hollow energy laced with more black flames to directly attack at his soul outline & curse it with burning chaotic heat of misery.
In a blinding light of the avatar of Luthen, amassing as much true hollow energy as possible in next five seconds, Luthen clone explodes into blazing fury of heat. Aiming to take Adan out with this occurrence level attack and even extend the white flames to the other calamity laffitte attempting to damage him also.
Part-2 coming …
