Like a Divine Domain of angels descended from the Heavens, a bright golden light filled the area. Maria, the cause of this, sprouted massive golden wings out of her back and basked in the light.
Although a decent chunk of Qi was used to create this scene, the environment wasn't damaged in the slightest.
Only a singular entity within this 'domain' was attacked.
Tssss!
"Huh?" Mira jumped back, feeling her skin burn and bubble under the light. 'Just being in the mere presence of that light injured me? What the hell?'
"Confused?" Maria giggled. "It's too early for that. This is merely the first technique in the Battle Art my Master and I created specifically to deal with you. We call it the [Celestial Purge]."
Mira raised her hand under the light. A burning sensation concentrated on that spot, yet it was more than that. A strange energy passed through the rest of her body, even penetrating her mind and soul.
