2. Eclipse Arrow

"Nice." Luke nodded, satisfied with the assassination-type arrow, and gave a look toward Vaelire, who was looking around with wariness.

"Ok, another nice area damage skill." Luke smiled and finally read her Ultimate, which is also called the Origin Skill.

Ultimate Ability - Celestial Hunt: Final Descent
Description:
The final technique of the S Rank Origin Skill — The Final Hunt.
Vaelira after combining the power of all mastered legendary arrows, does not fire toward the enemy. Instead, she sends the final arrow toward the heavens.
For her the sky itself becomes the hunting ground. Next moment the arrow returns as a celestial execution, carrying the combined power of every hunt before it.
Titan Breaker Arrow provides overwhelming physical force with it’s gigantic size. While Eclipse Arrow hides the attack within darkness and finally the Skyfall Arrow grants the power of heavenly descent.
Together, they create a single unavoidable strike. Known as The final moment of the hunt.
Effects:
• Combines all unlocked arrow abilities
• Massive physical destruction
• Hidden trajectory
• Unavoidable finishing strike
• Maximum power against a single target
{Note: This description is according to current unlocked arrows.}

"Why don’t I have anything like this??" Luke got jealous after seeing her ultimate ability because it was too broken.
’Just think, if someone dropped a gigantic arrow from the sky at overwhelming speed and the arrow was almost invisible.’
So the moment it collides with the enemy, it will gonna die immediately unless he has a very tough body or amazing speed to dodge the attack.
"Vaelira, let’s go," Luke said to her while moving toward the direction of the closest golden chain.

"huff...huff...huff..." Inside the forest, Nyra was running; her breathing was rough, which suggested she had been running for a long time. And there is a large claw wound on her back, from which blood was constantly coming out.
"What’s happening? Is my birthday cursed? First there was that interruption, and now teleporting to this strange place." Nyra cursed with an exhausted face.
RUSTLE! RUSTLE! Leaves and branches moved aside as more than ten demonic beasts appeared. Which look like normal wolf-type beasts, but their eyes were red and minute dark miasma was coming out of their bodies.
Among them were the ten Wild Beast Realm demonic beasts which was equivalent to the Iron Knight Realm, and they were 4 feet tall, while two Savage Beast Realm demonic beasts was equivalent to the Bronze Knight Realm, and they were 5 feet tall.
They were chasing Nyra from the moment she appeared in this place and were hell-bent to shred her into pieces.
"ROARRR!" two wild realm wolves jumped toward her back, with their claws extended.
Nyra turned slightly towards the upcoming beast, then three metal daggers appeared in her hand from the spatial ring.
With a little bit of her strength, she throws them toward the charging beast. But the next moment winds appeared around the dagger, which instantly increased the dagger’s speed, and then lightning surrounded them, which further increased their speed.
FWOOSH—CRACKLE! With a crackle sound, they tore through the air and struck both wolves, who, upon getting hit, got electrocuted and paralyzed, and with a thud, they dropped to the ground. While the remaining wind-lightning-covered dagger flew toward the savage wolf beast, but with a sway of his hand, it easily struck it down.
"tch...my power is not enough to harm the savage beast." Nyra clicked her tongue and muttered with a anoyyed expression because she was already running on low aether, and she also didn’t bring any supplements or potions with her.
BOOOOM! While Nyra was cursing her bad luck, the savage wolf behind her suddenly released a burst of terrifying strength. The ground beneath its feet shattered as it pushed forward, its massive body launching toward her like a raging beast unleashed.
’This is bad!’ The thought flashed through Nyra’s mind as she quickly turned sideways and threw ten daggers covered in wind and lightning toward the incoming savage wolf.
"Die!" With a shout, she released her fully charged Tempest Shot. The daggers tore through the air, carrying the power of her attack, and struck the beast directly.
THUD!!! But to her horror, the only sound that echoed was a dull impact. The daggers, even while infused with her fully charged Tempest Shot, failed to pierce the savage wolf’s tough hide. And the beast’s leather-like skin remained untouched.
Even after the attack, the incoming savage wolf’s speed didn’t slow down, and with a maddening charge, it reached toward Nyra.
CRASH! A deafening crash echoed through the area as the savage wolf’s claws struck the ground where Nyra had been standing just a moment ago. The impact shattered the earth, sending cracks spreading outward while dust and debris exploded into the air.
Nyra, who had barely managed to dodge the deadly attack, landed a short distance away. But her expression turned serious as she looked toward her right hand. There a deep claw mark had torn through her clothes and skin, with blood continuously flowing from the wound and dripping onto the ground.
The sharp pain reached her a moment later, reminding her just how close she had come to being ripped apart.
"I have to use it now," Wind told her, explaining that there were many enemies lurking around; that’s why she was not using her origin ultimate skill untill now. Even though she can’t defeat Savage Beast with her skill, at least she can gain enough time to escape.
But right now, hidden enemies were waiting for her to use her ultimate ability, so after she got exhausted, then they would reap the benefits.
She gritted her teeth with an ugly expression and finally called on her original skill. Because the remaining beast also caught up to her.
She closed her eyes and remembered what the pope had told her about her ability.
"Remember Nyra." A female pope who is wearing storm temple holy clothes and said to her in a calm tone. "Your origin is different than your father’s." She smiled at Nyra. "Your powers are locked, which is why it’s C-rank, because you are not strong enough to wield it."
She turned toward the storm god’s statue and muttered. "But you can still use the small power of your origin skill, and for that you have to form a connection with the storm and then call their power."
"BUT!" She moved close to storm god statue and knelt down. "But for that you have to become a Storm Herald, and then you can unleash its devastating storm powers."
Nyra suddenly opened her eyes, which were now shining with storm color. "ORIGIN SKILL: STORM HERALD!" She shouted while raising her left hand toward the heavens, and the next moment, the atmosphere began to change. The wind suddenly stops. The black clouds above begin gathering unnaturally fast.
"FWOOSH..." The air starts spinning around her as powerful winds spread across the forest. Small sparks of lightning begin appearing around her. "CRACKLE... CRACKLE..." The sky grows darker and the thunder echoes from above.
"RUMBLE... RUMBLE..." The pressure of the storm, forces every nearby beasts to feel the approaching danger as they look warily toward Nyra, who has become the center of the storm.
Blue lightning starts to gather within the clouds, then comes her voice; no, it’s a judgment. "ORIGIN ULTIMATE ABILITY: HEAVEN’S WRATH!!!" Nyra’s voice comes loudly, and everyone in the vicinity hears that. Next moment she bring her hand down in a swift motion.
Then—"KRRRRRAAAACK!!! " The first lightning strike descends. Then another. And another. "BOOOOOM!" Tens of lightning bolts rain down from the sky. And the forest is nearly swallowed by wind and thunder.
Every strike tears apart the ground. Every flash illuminates the storm. For that moment—she is no longer controlling the storm. She is the voice that calls it.
"Awooooooo...!" All the beasts present felt death when those lightning bolts appeared and cried out, while trying to run, but before they could run away, those lightning bolts descended instantly, and one by one, wild beast realm wolves died, while the savage beasts hastily dodged the lightning, but some lightning still stuck them. Which results the skin area becoming charred black, like coal.
"What’s happening there?" Other people who were also transported into the secret realm saw this spectacle and got goosebumps because someone who is able to summon this storm is a crazy person.
While others were guessing, Elias and Vivienne, who got teleported near each other, so they were able to find each other fast, instantly understood that Nyra was in danger and had forced to used her Origin Ultimate ability.
"We have to rescue her!" With that, both of them head toward Nyra’s location.
