But that was something Saviour could only afford to experiment with once he deals with this beast tide. Every few years of Sacrarium working a large beast tide would be attracted. This was because Saviour wanted the best environment for his people and created a gateway he permanently sustained above Sacrarium. This sent sunlight down and chased miasma away. However miasma and sunlight have both a repelling and attracting force.
A large amount of sunlight will push and consume miasma and vice versa. Therefore with the gateway which let sunlight pass through miasma shroud the relatively lower concentration in the general air will be consumed.
However when miasma gains a host it creates a will and desire to attack all sunlight and refine it into miasma. Miasma can refine sunlight due to the will it contained, sunlight on the other hand has a suppressed will and cannot control hosts and refine the divinity.
The beast tide was soon approaching when Saviour created a gateway to base and gathered the other blessed. Saviour had a plan to defeat the beast tide which is why he didn't move Sacrarium this time. Since the last beast tide, they gained another blessed.
Blessed have the strength to completely change the tides of a battle. By combining their powers, Saviour estimated he would be able to at least delay the beast tide enough to escape safely.
"Cubit are you ready, you rember the plan?" Saviour asked just to confirm.
"I use my distance ability to shorten the length between here and as far as I can? Then you use a gateway to teleport the beasts..?"
"You got it, on my count we only have a split second of you stretch your ability to it's max"
Abilities are not omnipotent, they have limitations. While Saviour can create gateways anywhere the further the distance, the more divinity used. The reason for him to be able to create gateway to sunlight is that in actuality sunlight is everywhere but in a separate realm so the distance is miniscule. For Cubit he has a similar restriction, the further he compresses and lengthens distance the more divinity is used.
Saviour decided to combine their abilities to strengthen their effect. His plan was simple, used Cubit's ability to shorten length temporarily to someplace far and use a gateway under the beasts to transport them away. This plan however was extremely risky as both blessed needed to use their utmost power. Saviour needed to create a large gateway to cover the whole beast tide and Cubit needed to compress an incredible amount of difference, just for a split moment though.
Rumble
Instantly large bells were rung by the guards,
Gong gong gong
This signalled the beast tide has been spotted and for all residents to be prepared to fight or escape if the plan goes awry.
"Hold...." Saviour held up his fist and took a deep breath calming his mind.
State of mind was needed to activate abilities but it was especially important for Saviour for if he was caught off guard the parasite on his chest may attack.
The beast tide was not large in numbers, at most a hundred wolves, foxes and smaller critters. However the real trouble came that these monsters all had abilities given by maisma. Even now there were 50 feet tall wolves and foxes with flames on their tails. The real problem with beast tides was the variable of unknown, noone even Saviour knew what powers might be contained in the monsters.
Cubit was sweating, his fists were shaking. He had never seen a beast tide before he bexame a blessed. He couldn't control his breath, the only thing pushing him to continue is his trust in Saviour.
Below the tower where the blessed were watching the beast tide come closer, were ordinary guards. All guards in Sacrarium had abilities but these guards were like Arm, a simple enhancement abilities on a limb or two. They were stronger than the average person, against a single monster they could usually hold out a win.
But these... These weren't just monsters they were much more powerful, on the level of disciples but without human intelligence. That weren't to say there were stupid, they were smarter than ordinary animals as they had the will in miasma to increase their thinking ability. The scary thing about these strong monsters was the amount of miasma they had, they could think just below humans.
Even if they killed them here they would release their massive reserves of miasma and eat away at the bubble of sunlight around Sacrarium.
rumble
The rumbling became louder, now any ordinary person could feel the ground shaking. These weren't monsters, this was a natural disaster. Only those blessed by Sunlight could save them now...
"Almost there....GO!!!!!!" Saviour commanded Cubit to activate his ability.
Instantly, Cubit accessed his will and his thoughts starting flying. He channeled sunlight to shorten the distance between here and the furthest mountain be could see.
Like that the tip of the mountain seemed to be in the sky in front of the blessed. Their powers were unfathomable to symbiote hosts. They could morph space.
At that same time Saviour created a gate, splitting his attention between the monsters and the mountain peak that was in front of him.
As soon as Saviour activated his sunlight the gateway over Sacrarium seemed to shake. He was always maintaing the sky above Sacrarium but now he had to split his attention more so.
He had activated his ability. The monsters seemed to have disappeared but in actuality there were in a superposition between the ground and mountain peak. Saviour created a three dimensional gateway in the beasts.
All of a sudden Cubit could hold on no longer, he let out a breath and looked down. The beasts were defeated.
The plan had worked!
Saviour and Cubit combined their abilities and created a miracle like that of the gods.
They instantly collapsed exhausted. But that was when the parasite in Saviour's chest had awoken...
