"There sure are a lot of them here, huh? Well, seeing how many big, fancy mansions are around this area...makes sense," I mused, as I glanced around the area.
"It matters not. Let’s just get down there and wipe them out," Huffed Revek impatiently.
"Hm...I’ve got a plan. I need you to gather them all up. Just fly around and launch some attacks, let them surround you. And once I give you the signal, fly away and I’ll take it from there," I suggested quietly.
"Don’t tell me what to do."
"Come on, man...well, unless you think you can’t handle it, of course. That’s my bad...I guess I just sort of assumed that the Demon Lord’s Generals must be pretty strong," I smiled sheepishly.
<Seriously? You’re taunting him?>
Shh, not now, Rex, it’s working!
"I know you’re trying to provoke me into doing what you want, I’m not so foolish that I wouldn’t notice such an obvious ploy...tch, fine, I’ll play along. [Spirit Fusion, Phoenix: Scorch]," He chanted with a slight grumble.
Several Knights turned their attention this way as an intense, blazing burst of flames erupted around Revek, the air surrounding him shimmering intensely. Fiery feathers appeared all over his body, his hands transforming into talons as the feathers spread out across his wings and tail, a haze of intense heat cloaking his entire body.
"Wow, that looks pretty cool," I remarked, as several Knights cautiously began to gather and surround the building we were atop of.
"What’s the signal you mentioned going to be?"
"Huh? Oh, uh...got it, I’ll shoot out an explosion above you. When you hear the blast, get out of there. If you don’t, you’ll die," I warned him.
He began to say something, briefly meeting my gaze before relenting and flying off the building, the Knights reacting in alarm as he entered their line of sight.
"Is that a Demon?!"
"Impossible! How did one of those infernal creatures get in here?!"
"If you want infernal, I’ll show you infernal!" Snapped Revek, spinning around and unleashing a volley of scorching fireballs all around him, cries of pain ringing out as his attacks slammed onto several Knights, severely injuring some and killing a few.
He swerved across as a handful of Knights flew up and began to surround him. He shot towards one of them, grabbing him by the throat. The Knight’s head erupted into flames immediately upon contact, his body going limp.
Revek swiftly raised the corpse in front of himself, using it at a meat shield as the other Knights fired at him. The attacks peppered the corpse, blasting it to pieces, Revek flinging it away before unleashing a devastating wave of flames out of his mouth, agonized cries of pain ringing out as the flames engulfed a handful of Knights, roasting them alive.
"Damn it, kill the bastard! Surround him and attack relentlessly, we’ll overwhelm him until we kill him!"
There it is, that’s what I’ve been waiting for!
As the Knights formed a circle and began firing volleys of Elemental Magic attacks at Revek, I launched a small, rapid explosive projectile out, shooting it out several meters above Revek, before firing out a second, faster one in the same direction.
The second projectile caught up to and collided against the first one, a fierce explosion bursting out across the air. The Knights’ barrage came to a momentary halt, all of them caught off-guard by the blast.
Revek was quick to react, flying away at full speed as I launched myself off the top of the building with a pressurized explosive burst, zipping up and above the crowd of Knights.
"What the...?"
"Who is that?"
"There’s nothing to be concerned about, it’s just a woman! Kill her!"
"Yeah, blast her right back to the kitchen, where she belongs!"
Seriously? That didn’t even make sense...
"You ready, Rex?"
<If I have to...>
"[Spirit Fusion, Ghost: Rex]!"
As dozens of Elemental Magic attacks got launched up towards me, a burst of energy erupted around me as my body began glowing, my hair turning white as my eyes changed to red with a gold tinge around the irises.
I let myself plummet as my power surged, my body phasing right past the incoming flurry of attacks, which shot up into the air until they lost steam and fell apart.
An intense red, explosive glow began emanating around my entire body as I rapidly descended through the air towards the Knights, the glow pulsing and intensifying as I began to close in.
"Wh-What is this, why can’t we hit the bitch?!"
"Something isn’t right here, what is she-...?"
"Now...[Kamikaze Explosion]," I chanted, triggering a massive, devastating explosion before the Knight could finish his sentence, his voice getting drowned out as the explosive energy swelled and expanded across the surrounding area.
The ground broke apart, deep cracks spreading out as my explosion carved out a massive crater, several of the surrounding buildings collapsing into large piles of rubble as my explosion shook and rumbled the entire area, the explosive energy churning around me violently.
The rumbling steadily began to die down as my attack finally started to lose steam and peter out. The explosion energy dissipated and faded away as I found myself at the bottom of the crater, coughing slightly as I inhaled some dust, thick clouds rising up.
I used my Wind Magic to fly out of the crater, landing outside of it and undoing Spirit Fusion with a content smile. That felt incredible, what a delightfully satisfying boom...
"Unbelievable...how is such destructive power even possible?" Muttered Revek, as he swooped down and landed before me, his Spirit Fusion fading as he let out a slow exhale.
"Yeah, it wasn’t quite my full power, I could’ve charged it up a bit more if I wanted to, but I’d rather save that for a special occasion. And besides, this boom was plenty satisfying, at least for now," I replied with a shrug.
"Er, I see...," Revek responded with a bemused look on his face, before glancing at the crater with a slight grimace.
