Chapter 426: Stellar Sage's Aura

"[Voyaging Star. Rift Shuttle. Ghost of Rupture. Quintuple Burst. Dusk Mane,]" Rakna chanted in succession and within a single breath. His body lit up with purple flames, blurred, surged with internal force, and was cloaked in a mane the color of the setting sun.

"[Triad Star Aura,]" he whispered and a black and purple aura exploded out of him into a pillar of energy. He released the full potential of it at once, piercing through the inward projection of his Nephilim powers. It thundered into existence with a rumbling sound and the werewolf promptly began to rein it in before it could damage the moon.

He concentrated carefully and slowly compressed the pillar into a bubble around him. He activated Founding Intuition to help him and overclocked his mind with Eye of Symphony.

Rakna grinned lightly at that. Oh, he knew what he wanted to do now. He didn't exactly know what it would do, but he could do it, and that was a good enough reason for him. The Chalice on his back began to shine and his tails shimmered with purple embers.

As soon as the notification rang, his aura suddenly disappeared. It wasn't even gradual. The bubble of purple and black energy merely vanished in the blink of an eye. But for Rakna? His grin got even wider. Only he knew what was happening and he was more than happy about it.

Stellar Sage's Aura

An aura directly connected and fueled by the soul of Rakna Xiorra Blade and thus intrinsically linked to its capability. Much like the Trait, Obsidian Blood of the Sage Beast, the user's aura can be transmuted, altered, and manipulated at will. It retains the primary powers of the three Mystic Stars but gains functions residing on a much larger spectrum due to its Nephal container.

Not only can the user now transmute other elements into a new aura, but it can also be exploited at a deeper level. Auras are generally defined by the combination of Internal Powers such as Mana, Mind, Willpower, Soul, Internal Force, and Intent. The more mastery one has, the more can be mixed at once. And the more Life Force one possesses, the more effective the combination.

Right after, another chant was written. "[Natcattiram Viḻuntatu,]" Rakna uttered and a cocoon of crimson and white flames encased him; the Neverwinter Star merging with lunisolar power. Like a shooting star, the spell rocketed him forward at even greater speeds.

It drew a parabola, igniting every demon it passed by, sometimes even from afar. It was only after a minute or so that Rakna was forced to stop. Before he knew it, a demon corrupted by the Fiend dashed into his course and kicked him away.

The werewolf's eyes widened as his spell shattered, looking at his right arm that had been crushed into star energy. He flew back from his attacker, noting that 'he' looked completely different from the ones he had seen on the Moon or quickly defeated on his way here.

It still had charcoal-like skin, but its clothes were only half destroyed and it had a pair of unicolor red eyes. Its hair had not fallen but had been completely bleached instead, while the horns and tail it possessed were far bigger and more menacing.

Rakna narrowed his eyes. "[Ought The Blades of Fragility Rend Your Flesh,]" he continued his chant and charged in, turning Sonata into the rarely used dual-dagger form. He had already used Crystal Sight to know what he was dealing with, and while it wasn't a foe he couldn't defeat, the strength the demon originally had was worrying.

'This guy was only level 600 before being corrupted...' He thought as he parried the demon's claws with one of the daggers and stabbed toward its heart with the other. 'But now it's strong enough to be at least two hundred above that.'

The demon swiped the dagger away with its elbow, displaying battle awareness of a fully conscious being, and then kicked at the werewolf, who calmly leaned back to dodge it. But it didn't stop there and opened its mouth, instantaneously firing a breath of red-demonic energy.

"[Field of Rupture,]" Rakna uttered and a burst of Internal Force imploded the attack. Increasing his Speed Attribute, he used Comet and pierced the demon's stomach with his bare hand. As soon as he breached the creature's defenses, the lunisolar flames avidly ate the corruption.

Soon enough, the demon was purified and left unconscious. The werewolf grunted and tossed him in the opposite direction of the Earth, writing several runes on him at the same time to keep him alive until he was rescued.

"[In a Dark Firmament, The Star Prowls the Light.]"

As soon as he was done with that, he could only chuckle when at least ten more flew at him from all directions. "Well then..." He muttered and his aura shimmered, redirecting its power to create hundreds of giant winged wolves even bigger than himself. "[Wolfen Lord.]"

The summoned wolves with eagle wings howled; their entire body burning with the flames of the moon and sun. They swarmed the demons and ripped them apart with their maws before reducing them to ashes.

"[In Eternal Redemption, The Wolf Sings and Confers.]"

"[In Between The End and Beginning.]"

Rakna flew past them, leaving a trail of white-silver blaze behind him. He slashed the demons on his way; purified those who could still be saved and killed those who couldn't. He was getting very close to Earth at that point and he was beginning to sense the absolute abomination hiding inside of it. His Lunisolar Blaze was raging to burn it.

"[Sits the Tamed Mayhem of the Philosopher.]"

"[Spilling Blood and Smothering Death.]"

Rakna sang two more lines of his Cōl Lāli and growled when he felt a field of energy push against him like a barrier. He tried to increase the output of his lunisolar flames, but it barely worked. From an outside perspective, it was as if he was being halted by something invisible.

On the other hand, Crystal Sight could clearly see the miasma coming out from the center of the planet and gushing out. He had entered its range and was now going against the current.

"...that's the limit, huh?" Rakna muttered and instead of persisting, he shook off the demons who were about to surround him and flew up. He circled the Earth until he was on the side the sun was currently illuminating.

"[Pitying Fairness and Collecting Hearts,]" he uttered the penultimate line of his incantation and raised his hand, palm open.

"{Are you going to summon your Soul Marble?}" Fray asked.

'Hah, as if. I'm confident in my soul, but not enough that I'd both manage to trap an entire planet into it and fight back against a primordial force of corruption,' Rakna retorted and proceeded to sacrifice his aura once again. 'Like I said... we blow it up.'

"[The One, They Call Harvest.]"

"[Obsidian Star Manifestation – External Release.]"
