The atmosphere shifting...the appearance of Manas : Fate alerted everyone on the north coast and threw off guard everyone.

True dragon, human or monster...all felt the sudden emergence of a new powerhouse.

Manas : Fate who had just brought out the legendary blade [Desnity], a long sword adorned with a complex guard that could mesmerize any blacksmith.

Horizon : What in the world are you?

A justified question which received no answer, Manas : Fate simply stared at him coldly.

Her sword pointed at her enemy, she without a word...swung the blade, a sharp slicing sound cut through the space.

Horizon : Huh ?

Eleonor : No way...

Fate is a very narrow and complex concept, it is an omnipresent force that affects any living or non-living thing.

A singular attack that is influenced by Fate...it didn't come from the present, nor the past or the future.

Horizon's arm was simply detached as if it was always like this...but contrary to [Fate Paradox] which directly affected history.

Manas : Fate didn't alter the people's memories...Horizon and Eleonor just saw an unavoidable attack striking the former.

No armor, no matter, no energy...nothing could parry her blow.

Horizon : (What just happened ? My arm was sliced off ? The pain is unbearable and I can't regenerate...)

He jumped away instinctively while grabbing his shoulder which now missed an entire arm.

He glared at Manas : Fate but suddenly flinched...her eyes were passive, focused on him excluding all forms of human emotion.

She was a monster he couldn't face...

Horizon : (I-i need to run...)

Manas Fate : Pathetic.

She raised her arm along [Destiny] making those who witnessed the previous scene anxious.

Her presence was already terrifying enough, now her power was simply incomprehensible...at this point, Velzard and Guy were on standby watching the situation unfold.

Velgrynd was busy with the allied force but even so she was secretly eyeing over the Manas.

Manas Fate : Consider yourself lucky, I am not the one who will take your life.

Paradoxically, Manas : Fate is the one who follows the line of Fate the most...as the representation of such a concept she doesn't actively intervene to change what about or shall happen.

At the end, she was a skill evolved into a Manas...her master and wielder are the one who can make such a decision.

But now that Mirai Averion, the one who awakened her was « sleeping », Manas : Fate was independant skill at the moment.

She worked on the wish of her master but since she wasn't here to direct concrete order...Manas : Fate is now following her own path.

Manas Fate : [Reverse Fate].

Using the same technique Dawn had employed before, based on inversing one's fate...fortune becomes disaster, life becomes death, rain becomes sun.

A perfect balance that turned everything around...but, compared to Dawn's skill, there was a fundamental difference.
