Fates play(2)

Leon dashed across the open field as fast as he could and right before he hit the hoard he leaped into the air and pushed his susanoo to its limit. first the rib cage and spine formed followed by the arms , legs and head. unlike most susanoo's however two the skull of leons had two horns from the start. soon red energy flesh crept over the entire giant skeleton followed by a thick scaled armor and a spear made of the same energy in the huge beings right hand. the dark fiery susanoo crushed some grim as it landed heavily on the ground imperiously.

'I've got five minutes at most before i run out of lifeforce , i hope it's enough.' leon thought before he moved. the giant swung it's spear in a wide arc decimating a huge portion of the frontline of the hoard. leon didn't stop as he slashed and smashed every grim he could find but even the massive amount of life force he was getting from the dead ones was barely sufficient to extend the time he could continue by a few seconds. the hoard was unlike any leon had heard of however as it truly seemed to never end.

Blood pour from his eyes constantly as they were damaged and repaired over and over again but despite the agonizing pain leon pressed on. while most were trying their hardest to repair or at the very least block off the holes in the wall around the city a few others watched leon holding back the hoard almost entirely alone. for some they felt threatened by such an extreme level of power while for others they felt nothing but sorrow. qrow and ozpin were part of the latter as leon had told them of the ability they see him using right now and what was needed to do so.

Ozpin alone realized that leon was firmly in the realm of maidens with this show of force and while he was glad this power belonged to someone on humanities side. he knew that there was no way salem wouldn't come to know of leon now. none of this mattered right now however as vale and beacon were under attack. "give em hell kid" qrow said under his breath as he rushed to secure beacon from attacks. he didn't know what the attackers hoped to accomplish with this attack but he knew that beacon couldn't afford to fall even if it meant more lives lost.

It hurt qrow's heart to know that he was choosing the greater good over the lives of the innocent but he bottled up that pain and pressed forward , like always. meanwhile at the relatively nearby mount glen mountain and avalanche of stone rained down as the mountain shook from the monster awakening within. leon didn't know how many grim he had killed at this point but he ignored the screaming pain radiating from his eyes as he continued his massacre.

Almost a minute later however leon felt an intense amount of dread as he heard a loud unknown roar coming from the distance. moments later he saw "it" , a massive black creature with wings the size of buildings and thick white armor covering its car sized head and massive powerful body. a titan class grim had arrived and as if that wasn't bad enough it was a near mythical wyvern to boot. the existence of wyverns had always been a topic for debate as if anyone had ever seen the things up close few lived to tell the tale and most people didn't go looking for powerful grim on a whim.

Leon didn't hesitate to abandon the hoard of grim the moment he saw the ancient wyvern approaching. most of the hoard consisted of small fries that could still be dealt with by the hunters in the city. but this things was a whole different story even as he was right now leon felt oppressed by the wyvern showing how deep it's own power went. it wasn't enough to make leon think of it as a hopeless cause but it did tell him he was out gunned in this fight.
