Journey Across The Tensura Verse

Kai staggered to his feet, his body aching from the force of the explosion and the weight of the debris. The once-grand hall of Soma's palace was now a smoldering ruin, its walls reduced to rubble and its floors littered with shattered stone and broken bodies. The air was thick with smoke and the acrid stench of burning magic, making it hard to breathe. His ears rang from the deafening roar of the blast, and his vision blurred as he tried to focus on the chaos around him.

And then he saw her.

Standing amidst the wreckage was a girl—no, a being—unlike anything Kai had ever encountered. She was small in stature, her delicate frame belying the immense power that radiated from her. Her crimson horn, curved and sharp, glinted in the flickering light of the flames. Her wings, a deep, iridescent purple, stretched wide, casting an ominous shadow over the ruins. She wore a black dress that seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly light, and over it, pieces of purple armor adorned her body, glowing faintly with magical energy.

Her eyes, a piercing gold, burned with a mixture of rage and sorrow as she surveyed the destruction she had wrought. Her presence was overwhelming, a force of nature that made the air itself tremble. Kai could feel the sheer magnitude of her power, a tidal wave of magicules that threatened to crush him where he stood.

"Milim Nava," he whispered, the name coming to him unbidden. He didn't know how he knew it, but the moment he saw her, he understood. This was no ordinary dragonoid. This was a being of legend, a force of destruction and chaos.

Newton's voice echoed in his mind, calm but urgent.

\*\*\[Unique Skill: Newton is analyzing the target. Warning: Target's magicule levels exceed all known parameters. Proceed with extreme caution.\]\*\*

Kai's heart pounded as he watched Milim raise her hand, her fingers curling into a fist. The air around her shimmered, and with a deafening roar, she unleashed another blast of energy. The ground erupted, sending chunks of stone and debris flying in all directions. The palace, already in ruins, began to collapse further, its walls crumbling under the force of her power.

Kai barely had time to react. He summoned his **Molten Aegis**, the molten shield flaring to life just as a wave of debris hurtled toward him. The impact sent him skidding backward, his boots digging into the cracked floor. He gritted his teeth, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation.

"Why is she here?" he muttered, his voice barely audible over the chaos. "What could have driven her to this?"

Newton's voice cut through his thoughts.

\*\*\[Analysis incomplete. Target's emotional state appears unstable. Rampage likely triggered by external factors. Suggestion: Avoid direct confrontation until more information is obtained.\]\*\*

Kai clenched his fists, his instincts warring with Newton's advice. He couldn't just stand by and watch as Milim destroyed everything in her path. But how could he possibly stop her? Her power was on a level he had never faced before. Even with all his skills, he wasn't sure he could survive a direct confrontation.

As if sensing his presence, Milim turned her gaze toward him. Her golden eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, the world seemed to stand still. Then, with a roar that shook the very foundations of the palace, she launched herself into the air, her wings carrying her high above the ruins.

Kai's breath caught in his throat as she raised her hand, a sphere of swirling energy forming in her palm. The air around it crackled with power, and Kai knew that if she unleashed it, there would be nothing left of the palace—or him.

"Newton!" he shouted, his voice desperate. "What do I do?"

\*\*\[Unique Skill: Newton is calculating survival probability. Estimated chance of survival: 12%. Suggestion: Evade and seek cover. Direct engagement is not recommended.\]\*\*

Kai's mind raced. He couldn't fight her, but he couldn't run either. Not with the palace collapsing around him and the people of Soma still trapped in the wreckage. He had to do something—anything—to stop her.

As Milim prepared to unleash her attack, Kai made his decision. He would try to reach her, to reason with her. If she was truly driven by rage and sorrow, perhaps there was still a chance to calm her down.

But before he could move, the sphere of energy in Milim's hand grew brighter, its light blinding. With a scream that echoed through the ruins, she hurled it toward the ground.

The explosion that followed was unlike anything Kai had ever experienced. The force of it sent him flying, his body slamming into a pile of rubble. Pain shot through him as he struggled to stay conscious, his vision swimming with spots of light and darkness.

When the dust settled, Kai found himself buried under a mountain of debris, his body pinned and his strength fading. He could hear the distant sound of Milim's laughter, a haunting melody that sent chills down his spine.

As he struggled to free himself, one thought echoed in his mind:

*How do you stop a force of nature?*
