Apocalyptic Triad

**Apocalyptic Triad** is Richard Archeron's unique legendary ability that used the laws of life, destruction, and chaos. It had been formed as the basis of his quick ascension into the legendary realm, even though he had hoped to stay as a sky saint for several years.

### **Manifestation**

During the battle with Saunder, Richard had veered away from ordinary chants, gestures, and foci to cast spells. Using his three minds as a base, he had managed to cast three entirely different spells with an illusion of fake masks that could enhance their own specific spell with the power of his bloodlines. This was essentially a way of creating tripling himself, an ability no less powerful than Manaforge.

After reaching a certain level of power, Richard was able to conjure manifestations of his truename and bloodlines. They appeared to be angels, demons, and devils that made use of his laws and bloodlines.

Each of Richard’s summoned faces chanted at about the same speed as he would. He was already extraordinary in that department due to Manacycle, but now his speed had tripled. The three faces continued their chanting, sending three enormous fireballs. However, these ones were different from the ones before them; one was pure lava, the other almost completely life energy with barely any hint of fire, while the last was flaming blue liquid that felt like it could burn up an entire world.

* **Central Face**: The central face was the strongest and held both his truename’s power and the power of the bluemoon.
	+ A shadowy face materialised in front of him that looked like a combination of both devil and demon.
	+ Seeing the affront to his dignity, he focused his gaze on the sky and let out a savage growl. A phantom suddenly appeared behind him, a demonic face with the grace and pride of a devil. It largely resembled him, but the several long and twisted horns on its head suggested an exotic lineage.
* **Schloan Face**: Flames of life that came from his elven heritage.
	+ The one on the right was angelic and radiated vitality. Both had their eyes closed, but their lips moved furiously in an odd combination of sparkling melody and low rumble. It looked and sounded like a duet of heaven and hell.
* **Dizmazon Face**: Lava symbolizing the Archeron bloodline.
	+ The one on the left was a typical demon with chilling fangs between its lips. Both had their eyes closed, but their lips moved furiously in an odd combination of sparkling melody and low rumble. It looked and sounded like a duet of heaven and hell.

## Overview

An angelic face, a demonic face, and a mixture of demonic and angelic face in between, described as embodiment of perfection. Angelic face attacks with concentrated life energy (Elven Bloodline). Demonic face attacks with the laws of destruction (Archeron Bloodline). Perfect face combines his magic with his blue flames. (Legendary ability)

Three distinct faces emerged before Richard. On the left was the demon, filled with an endless thirst for destruction and ruin. On the right was the impeccable beauty, an androgynous face that looked like a mix of elven royalty and celestials with an indescribable sense of vitality. Right in front of him was perfection, every line exactly where it should be even despite the sharp curved horns on top; a combination of demon, devil, and angel, chaos, order, and purity.

Baynard had never seen such an existence before. He found himself speechless the instant the three faces emerged, only able to feel three frightening wills focusing on him simultaneously and exerting such immense pressure that his soul was almost torn apart. It eventually dawned on him that each of these heads would be able to cast a different spell; even three grade 9 spells were impossible for him to block, but these seemed like they would be legendary grade. And if those spells actually layered together well… he shuddered at the thought."
