A blazing sphere of fire materialized, spinning and crackling with heat.
Holding it steady with sheer will, I kept it from bursting out of control. Below, the bats screeched, still unaware of what was coming.
At the peak of my jump, gravity tugged at me, but the thrill drowned out everything else. A grin stretched across my face, adrenaline rushing through my veins.
"Blitz Hakai!" I roared.
My spine arched as I bent backward mid-air, strength flooding my right hand.
It snapped downward, driving the staff in a swift arc. The fireball, spinning parallel to its far end, followed the motion, hurtling toward the bats below like a blazing comet.
I swung with everything I had. The staff tore through the air, hitting the space just above the bats, but that was all it needed.
First, the air compressed. Then, the explosion came.
Boom.
The force of the blast tore through the ground beneath, cracking it open.
