"Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom—!"
Explosions rang out one after another like an unending chain of bursting fireworks, echoing through the skies above Ryudou Temple as flames and shockwaves swept in every direction.

Above the sprawling grounds and ancient temple buildings of Ryudou Temple, two spaces illuminated by dazzling golden light trembled continuously, sending out ripples of gold like waves upon water.
From within those ripples, weapons in every conceivable form—swords, blades, spears, halberds, and more—legendary armaments that had been passed down since the age of myth, shot forth like arrows loosed from bowstrings, like bullets fired from barrels, pouring out in a machine-gun barrage that tore through the air and plunged into the flames and shockwaves.

However, that scene did not last long.
