A low hymn sounded as hundreds of green streaks rose from the ground around Mei Yue'er.
The lights intertwined around her, their glow gathering into a cocoon. The melody continued beneath the hum of Theríon as the green shell closed around her figure.
The light brightened with each passing second, until—
Boom!
The cocoon burst apart with a resounding explosion, sending shockwaves through the air.
Green, vaporous flames moved across her skin, casting their light over the blood and torn clothing left by Lian Fu's last attack.
Theríon formed countless peacock feathers behind her. Green and blue shimmered along their lengths as the wind rising from her feet stirred them into a broad, iridescent display.
Energy from the earth flowed toward her without the effort of drawing it in herself. The current moved into her as the feathers spread, feeding the aura that had risen around her.
