Yumi was not planning to travel from Oak to another town, village or city, no she was looking for a place to train. For some time now the old woman had been devising new spell ideas to enhance her arsenal of attacks. As a khornite she was to favour close quarter combats, these new spells would be designed for both. Yumi would easily be able to fire them from a distance for maximum carnage or up close. One of the spells she was planning to create today, however, would be an area of effect spell, one that she would release from her body when surrounded to encompass and area and hopefully obliterate her opponents.
Yumi exited the front gates leaving oak behind her and turned down the path, making her way up the hill that Oak resided on, moving to the top. She had been out of Oak before, having explored it previously for a quiet place to train. The old lady had found a large forest atop one of the hills that seemed to be left alone by man, so she would be heading there to train. Yumi had ideas for three separate spells, one her Area of Effect spell while the other two would be offensive spells. The spells she would be making would both be classed as sustain as they would continuously use up magic to be fired off. They were both similar in effect, but with one key difference, one was a singular attack the other would unleash multiple attacks able to strike a single foe or multiple foes. The spells she were making would be called the Desubīmu or Death Beam and Renzoku Desubīmu or Barrage Death Beam
They names were relatively simple and described the two spells perfectly. With the Desubīmu she would be condensing magic and fire it off as a beam of magic. The Renzoku Desubīmu would be used to fire off multiple magical beams, eight in total was the plan. She would be aiming to shoot eight beams of mana either at, a single opponent or at eight opponents. The idea was to condense mana into the palm of her hand, before compacting it into the fingertips. Yumi would then aim a finger in the direction of her target and release the concentrated mana as a narrow beam of magical energy.
The old woman tracked up the hill, the sun beating down upon her. The sky was clear of any clouds, and there was not another human in sight just what she had wanted for the day. She did not want to be running into anyone else, merely wanting the day to herself so she could train in privacy. No need for others to spy on her and see her new spells. These new spells would also be useful for the event that was to come in a few days time. The old woman could not help but release a malicious laughter at the thought of what was to come. She just hoped her colleagues would be ready. The old lady drifted out of her thoughts as she pushed foliage aside and made her way through the thick forest, the shadow of the tree tops consuming her. Yumi marched through easily tearing off branches as she arrived at a large clearing easily 10m3. The grass was green as could be and not a single human or animal was in sight.
Yumi licked her lips as she made her way to the middle of the clearing. She began to look around studying the area before she removed her hands from the sleeves of her kimono. Her arms slid out into the air before they fell by her side. The old woman inhaled deeply calming and focusing her inner core. The mage, or Witch as she preferred to be called, focused her magical energy and tugged on it. Her mana began to rise from the centre of her body and flowed slowly, like a trickle, throughout her body. She was allowing it to trickle through to reignite her body; it had over a week since she last exercised her magical energy, no doubt it would be strained. Yumi exhaled as mana flowed through every fibre of her being before it reached the surface. Small flickers of black mana, appearing like flames, rose from her skin. In seconds Yumi was engulfed by her magical aura making it look as if she was encased head to toe in black demonic flames.
Yumi's kimono fluttered in the wake of her magical energy as it fluctuated all around her. Yumi raised her right arm clenching and unclenching her fist, her eyes watching her fingers as mana coursed through her body. The old woman narrowed her eyes as she began to roll her shoulders releasing the stiffness that had began to form in the last few days, it was time to release a little steam and a bit of her anger. Yumi growled lowly as she tugged onto the mental seal that she had placed on her emotions. The jar opened as the lid flew off and her bottled rage was released. All the rage she had bottled away over the years, storing it for when it was needed, rushed to the surface. Her Khorne tattoo lit up like a Christmas tree as her mana spiked growing exponentially in size.
Yumi released a battle cry as her mana continued spiking growing to its limit. Yumi turned towards the nearest tree and slowly lifted her right hand. Mana flowed into the palm of her hand, her aura dying down in the process. Magical energy in the form of black tongues of fire formed in the palm of her hand, before it flowed onto her finger tips. Magic danced at the tips of her fingers as the old woman pointed her index towards the tree twelve metres from her location. Yumi focused her mana condensing the magical energy waiting for it to be perfect. She continued compacting the magic making it as tight as possible before she released it. The magic flowed forward shaping itself into a wonky beam of black magical energy that coursed through the air at high speed. The beam of mana collided with the tree slamming into it hard enough to shake the tree, but not collapse, break or destroy it. The beam had only grazed the bark.
Yumi frowned at the sight, it seemed the spell hadn't been strong enough. She would need to build up more mana into it, further condensing her energy. She would also need to work on her control so she would achieve a straight beam of magical energy with enough force to pierce through the trunk of the fifteen foot tree.
