The hammer struck between the descending fangs.
"World Serpent Art. Fang of the World-Eater."
Enigma twisted both wrists. The enormous fangs did not crush downward together. One hooked behind the hammerhead while the other drove toward the god's chest, concentrating its power into a single emerald point.
The God of War released the hammer.
"Thousandfold Impact."
One collision became a succession of blows. The hammer continued striking after leaving his hand, battering the first fang until its curved surface burst.
The second fang reached the God of War's breastplate.
An iron-grey shield caught it at an angle. The point scraped across the god's ribs, opening a shallow wound before being forced past him.
Below, an entire mountain shoulder disappeared.
BOOOOOOM!
Rock rose in a sheet wider than the ruined staging ground. The blast stripped both sides of the valley, and its roar swallowed the screams of fleeing demons kilometres away.
Inside the crack, Simon covered his head.
