[BlueHeroine Vs Rank B Ragnarok Beast Icarus - Video (2 years ago)]
[Location: Area CC+976, Grave Terrarium]
At what used to be a mountain range that boasts a wide variety of aviaries, a land that has now become a forest of deadfall trees, BlueHeroine is taking the challenge to defeat and devour the Rank B Ragnarok Beast Icarus.
...SCREECHHHH!!!...
With a screaming sound that echoes within the night sky, Icarus dives toward the ground with its whole body engulfed in flame.
"Radiance x Aurora's Light - Blue Jet!"
To intercept Icarus's flaming dive, BlueHeroine, who's hovering above the ground, activates her Combined Skill, summoning a blue radiant light that collides with Icarus mid-air.
...BOOOMMMMM!...
The collision of Icarus and BlueHeroine's Blue Jet Skill causes an explosion of flame and light that burns and disintegrates everything it reaches on the ground.
"Radiance x Aurora's Wings - Red Sprite!"
While Icarus remains hovering mid-air, BlueHeroine activates another of her Combined Skill.
BlueHeroine's wings, along with her whole body, were engulfed with a red radiant light that protected her from Icarus's flame that was still surging like a wave of flame in mid-air every time Icarus flapped its wings.
"Red Sprite x Talons - Aura Blades!"
While flying and maneuvering between the surge of flame around Icarus, BlueHeroine activates her Aura Blades Skill, a combination of his Combined Skill Red Sprite and Basic Skill Talons.
The Aura Blades that BlueHeroine released from the vermilion light talons on her hands fly towards Icarus and cut its body along with its wings.
...SCREECHHHH!!!...
It wasn't enough to take down the Rank B Ragnarok Beast or completely tear apart its wings, but BlueHeroine's Aura Blades indeed made Icarus suffer in pain.
Icarus turns its head toward BlueHeroine's direction and looks at her with anger in its eyes as if saying...
...How dare a fly like you hurt my wings...
...Or rather, it was BlueHeroine's comeback remark after dealing severe damage to Icarus for the first time.
...SCREECHHHH!!!...
With a scream full of hatred towards the insignificant fly that dared to challenge its might in the night sky, Icarus flaps both of its wings toward BlueHeroine's direction.
The burning wings of Icarus release a burst of flame, like a flamethrower aiming to burn BlueHeroine and her elegant blue wings into a cinder.
"How many times do you think I have seen that move?!... It won't work on me anymore!.. Radiance x Aurora's Wings - Red Sprite!"
The red radiant light that engulfs BlueHeroine bursts like a flamethrower to intercept Icarus's flame.
Since Icarus is a 30-meter class Ragnarok Beast, it's obvious that its attack has more range compared to BlueHeroine's attack. However, the red radiant light of BlueHeroine's Red Sprite Skill devoured Icarus's flame and overwhelmed the Rank B Ragnarok Beast.
To escape the red radiant light that is devouring its flame, Icarus spread its wings and flew higher into the night sky.
"Where do you think you're running, freaking bird!"
BlueHeroine chases Icarus into the night sky, unaware that the Rank B Ragnarok Beast is not actually running away to escape but to prepare for its next attack.
Before BlueHeroine can chase Icarus, the Rank B Ragnarok Beast has already reached above the clouds, the highest altitude it's capable of.
Icarus stops for a moment before diving back towards BlueHeroine.
As it dives with an incredible speed, Icarus's wings ignite, setting its whole body in flame. Then, Icarus starts to spin around, creating a vortex of flame moving towards BlueHeroine.
"Damn it... Radiance x Aurora's Light - Morph!"
It's the first time BlueHeroine has seen Icarus's flame vortex attack.
Without enough time to dodge the incoming Ragnarok Beast, BlueHeroine activates her Morph Skill to defend herself.
...BOOOMMMMM!!!...
The vermilion radiant phoenix that BlueHeroine summon intercepts Icarus's flame vortex. It's powerful enough to stop Icarus's dive, but the explosion of flame caught BlueHeroine and burned her, making her fall to the ground.
...SCREECHHHH!!!...
As if to mock BlueHeroine who's down on the ground with her body and wings still burning on Icarus's flame, the Rank B Ragnarok Beast keeps on hovering mid-air above BlueHeroine.
"This fight isn't over yet, freaking bird... Radiance!"
The Radiance Skill disintegrates the flame that's burning BlueHeroine. It even heals some of her injuries, but not completely.
BlueHeroine is already at a disadvantage after receiving grave injuries. But still, she is confident that she could defeat and devour the Rank B Ragnarok Beast Icarus if she continues using her Radiance Skill a few more times and completely heals herself.
With that idea, BlueHeroine decided to change her battle strategy.
"Let's see if those featherless wings of yours are fast enough to catch me."
.
.
.
The course of the battle between BlueHeroine and the Rank B Ragnarok Beast Icarus has been changed from direct confrontation to hit and run.
"Red Sprite x Talons - Aura Blades!"
...SCREECHHHH!!!...
While flying away from Icarus, BlueHeroine continues to deal damage to the Rank B Ragnarok Beast no matter how little or minor the injuries of her attack cause.
Since BlueHeroine is running away while healing herself with her Radiance Skill at the same time, she won't be able to fly at her fastest speed. However, her coordination and maneuvering skill is the highest of all the players among the Devour Aurora Class which makes her capable of dodging Icarus's attack by taking advantage of her surroundings.
BlueHeroine would fly lower towards the ground, between cliffs and valleys where a 30-meter class Ragnarok Beast like Icarus where will have trouble chasing her. She would hide inside the ruined buildings, taking her time to use her Radiance Skill to heal herself until Icarus could locate where she was hiding.
"Radiance!..."
Just a bit more time and BlueHeroine would be able to fully heal herself. If she can continue evading Icarus's attack while flying towards the open desert where she's leading Icarus, then she can fight back against the Rank B Ragnarok Beast.
However, after reaching the center of the open desert...
"What are you doing here, BlueB*!..."
