AURA OF THE SEVEN 🌪️
Chapter 11: Akira's Awakening — The Storm of Void 🍃🌪️
Old Man Zhang's milky-white eyes seemed to pierce right through Akira. Suddenly, the wind surrounding the temple came to a dead halt. The silence was so profound that one could hear their own heartbeat.
🍃 The Trial of the Wind
"Akira," Zhang's voice echoed. "You control the wind, but can you become the wind? The stone only accepts the one who has the courage to be invisible."
Akira stood in the center of the temple. Suddenly, a violent cyclone erupted from the Wind Stone, tossing her into the air. She felt as though her bones were breaking; the air itself was cutting through her like blades.
The other six warriors rushed forward to save her, but Zhang raised a hand, stopping them. "This is her battle alone."
🌑 The Void Messenger: Attack of 'Shadow-Wing'
At that moment, a jagged black rift tore open in Wu-Shan's sacred sky. The Void Emperor's second messenger, Shadow-Wing, emerged. He possessed massive metallic wings that sliced through the protective mist.
"The stone belongs to the Emperor!" Shadow-Wing roared, raining spheres of dark energy upon the temple. 💥🌑
Ryun and Gojung tried to intercept him, but Wu-Shan's Aura-Absorbing Mist had drained them. They fell to their knees, weakened.
🌪️ The Awakening
Watching her friends fall, Akira's fear transformed into resolve. She closed her eyes and stopped fighting the wind. Instead, she let the wind flow into her.
Suddenly, Akira's body ignited with light. Six wings manifested behind her—not made of flesh, but of pure, pressurized white air.
"Wind Stone: Heavenly Sovereign Form!" 🍃✨
With a wave of her hand, the mists of Wu-Shan cleared instantly. Shadow-Wing's dark energy was pulverized by sheer atmospheric pressure before it could even land.
⚔️ War in the Heavens
Akira surged toward Shadow-Wing at the speed of sound. Their collision sent shockwaves through the clouds.
"Divine Art: Emerald Hurricane!" 🌪️💚
Akira conjured a vortex so powerful it twisted Shadow-Wing's metallic wings like scrap paper. The messenger screamed as he plummeted, vanishing into the abyss below.
💎 The Third Stone
As the chaos settled, the Wind Stone floated toward Akira's forehead and merged into her aura. They now possessed three fragments: Fire, Shadow, and Wind.
Old Man Zhang began to fade into light. "Remember... when the stones unite, they do not just grant power; they bring back memories of the past. The next stone will take you to the place where time has stood still."
🏛️ A New Revelation
When Akira descended, her eyes had turned a piercing emerald green. She looked at Ryun, her voice trembling. "Ryun... I saw something through the stone. Our ancestors weren't enemies. They were seven brothers of a single family, the protectors of this world."
Gojung's face turned grim. "Does that mean the hatred between the Seven Cities was a conspiracy all along?"
🌪️ Chapter Epilogue
"Akira was no longer who she used to be.
The third stone had peeled back a layer of truth that shook the very foundations of history.
Their journey was no longer just about survival—it was a quest for their true identity.
Next Stop: 'The City of Stillness'—where the hands of time do not move." ⏳💎🌪️
