The S-Grade Cultists held their breath.
They knew.
He was coming for them now.
Hiroshima Toko moved first—slamming his fist forward.
Zzngh!
His strike crashed into a revolving, invisible force surrounding Kael, the impact warping the air itself.
Kael smiled.
"This is not a barrier," he said calmly.
"Due to my endless Vital Force, energy constantly erupts from my body—creating an overflow of pressure around me."
Hiroshima grinned, his fists flaring brighter as he struck again and again against the VF overflow.
"That's why I'm using Vital Amplification."
Kael laughed.
"The more energy you pour into Vital Amplification…"
His smile widened.
"…the more Vital Force I pour to maintain this overflow."
Hiroshima's eyes widened.
"What?"
Kael's grin sharpened.
"Means you can't even touch me."
Zzngh!
The overflow density thickened violently—slamming Hiroshima straight into the wall.
The ground cracked on impact.
"AAAAAAGHHHHHH!! AAAAHHHH!!! AAAA—AGH!!!! DARN IT!!"
His screams echoed through the ruined area.
From the side—
Huro Mozart lunged, slamming his fist into Kael's VF overflow using Vital Amplification.
Kael laughed.
In a blur, he drove his fist straight into Huro's head.
THUD!
Huro was smashed into the ground, the earth caving beneath him.
Blood splattered.
Huro coughed—then raised his hand, fingers twisting into a sign.
"Supreme Expansion of Space—Flames of Ruin."
A barrier erupted.
Inside it, flames roared endlessly.
The ground burned away.
The air itself ignited.
There was nowhere to step—nowhere to escape.
Kael stood within the inferno, smiling.
He raised his hand.
His voice dropped to a whisper.
"Supreme Expansion of Space: Eclipse of Identity."
Darkness swallowed everything.
Kael engulfed Huro—
inside his own domain.
