(the dragon heads are cut apart, the tendrils dispersing as that happens)
(but the remains of the Mana Burst itself turn into a black mist surrounding Alter, as she slashes at the air in front of her in a cross)
Burst Air!
(the dark mana left behind in the slashes' wake turns into a large, cross-shaped spearhead of intense magical energy, which runs across the ground and shoots forward at the Zoronado)
(@Leo) (scratches head) Well, I f-found a fairy statue w-when, um, looking for p-potion ingredients. I, um, took it w-with me, none the wiser. One day, when c-creating potions, it glowed and m-made me an offer. If I, um, merged with it, I will be a-able to help more people. I just said yes, and then the statue changed into my new f-form.
Useless... That sword technique cannot match me!
(an enormous sheath of dark mana surrounds Excalibur, causing it to take the form of a dozens-of-feet-long dark energy blade)
Vortigern!
(she swings it upward, a wintery whistle echoing through the air, intending to clash with the Phoenix and possibly hit Zoro in the process)
(but... which attack shall triumph?)
-The blast of Vortigern easily breaks through the Phoenix, but Zoro falls towards it in the air, staring it and Arty Clause down-
-He holds out his swords perpendicularly, and begins to spin them at high speeds, becoming a blur in his hands as he nears the dark laserblade-
The nine mountains and the seven seas.........there is nothing in this world...I cannot cut!...

What—?!
(the Vortigern blade - it gets cut apart!)
(her face warping into a scowl, Arturia takes a stance, holding her sword to her side with both hands)
(a stance that, if Zoro has Observation Haki, he can feel radiating utter killing intent and far more lethality than before)
(but nothing is coming his way yet - this could be a window...!)

(@Leo) Y-yep... Do you, um, want to know h-how I, um, got that form?
