[You know what, this is annoying but nowhere near as bad as fighting the band of idiot kids; you're one obnoxious person, the band of idiot kids tended to swarm.
He actually doesn't seem to be moving to approach when Yeager steps off, however, and he doesn't appear to be preparing Brilliant Cataclysm for the time being; he just adjusts his grip on Dein Nomos and drives the end of the sword into the ground abruptly as though preparing to cast.
And as soon as he does, the sky breaks.
It's quick to spread, a hexagonally patterned fracturing burning away the bright blue of daylight and replacing it with almost total darkness above; looking up to see what the hell all of that is will offer you a glimpse of...something high above, some sort of mass that's dark and heavy and oppressive, shot through with some sort of neon energy pulsing through it. It doesn't seem to be approaching, but it's up there, and you get the distinct feeling that it's alive.
It's not the only distinct feeling that floods through your system - the fear that hits is artificially-induced, it isn't yours, but that doesn't mean it isn't real. It spreads quickly, starting as the sort of lizard-brain nerves that causes people to increase their walking speed while moving through a dark corridor and amping up quickly into sourceless, irrational terror the longer it goes on. The room itself is cast into darkness - not enough to ensure that you can't see, but enough to definitely cast a deep shadow over the field of battle.
It doesn't seem to be causing any sort of physical damage; probably for the best, because emotional damage isn't precisely a walk in the park either. Whatever it is, Alexei doesn't seem to be affected by it; whatever he's doing, you might want to try to get him to stop eventually.]
