One sided beatdown

One sided beatdown

Arrows, spells, stones and even people all rushed from the fort in a mad attempt to stop me but Bell and Lili quickly moved to intercept these things as the dark sun got smaller and smaller. Bell had managed to somehow time the creation of the air platforms under his boots with the flying attacks to cause them to stop prematurely while Lili turned into a dark metal and simply tanked whatever he missed. By the time the first adventurers from the Apollo familia got close it was too late as I had finished my preparations.-

The dark sun was now no more than an abyssal dark orb the size of an orange at the front of the staff. I pointed it at the gate of the fort.

"Eclipse!" I spoke and unleashed my attack.

The world vanished. I couldn't see, smell or hear anything once the attack was released or to be more specific I was being overwhelmed with sensory information. Just as fast as it came however it ended and I could witness the aftermath. A molten trench nearly thirty yards across and over a mile long extended from in front of the staff I was holding out. The middle of the fort was entirely gone alongside everyone and everything that had been there.-

"CRACK!"

In the silence after the attack the first sound to appear was the sound of the staff spiderwebbing along its entire length before the wind blew and it turned to dust that went with the breeze. I had expected this however as I knew that I was not at the point in my crafting were I could create something like this and expect it to last beyond a single use. That staff was created with one ability and ONLY one, the ability to enhance and contain my hell fire.-

"FWOOSH!"

It exploded on contact with my back and I staggered from the impact with a hiss of pain. My shirt and back had been burnt up and my skin bubbled and blacked from the heat. That was all though as thanks to my cursed techniques influence on my body I was quite flame resistant. Under the shocked gaze of mortals and gods I flexed my back and activated my cursed technique wordlessly to fix the damage the magic had done. This put my reserves back to almost empty but my back was now unblemished as I turned to stare down the caster.

"Wait your fucking turn, I'll deal with you in a minute." I said firmly and the dude legitimately backed away with a horrified look on his face.

"Monster!" he shouted at me but I merely laughed before turning my attention back to the stragglers.

Soon enough all that was left was a black haired girl with a traumatized look on her face protecting the unconscious form of a red haired girl in a corner. The awake girl was holding a staff but was clearly too terrified to use it as I approached.-

"You should join our familia after this is over, you seem like a good fit protecting your friend like this." I said with a smile not that she could see it.

Both of their souls were clean and clear of sin and I was especially interested in the strange features of this girls soul that I had not ever seen before in another soul. It was as though she had a sort of fog covering a part of it that seemed to try and incite disbelief about something but I had no idea what exactly.
