It was a lethal move.
"Fatal Embrace…" Fulgardt said as Listafelle was obliterated. A flood of AKH Units flowed into him, increasing his Ascension Status, but he hardly cared for them. "There goes my hope for bolstering Rias…"
His initial intent had been for Rias to be the one to reap the AKH units from the Deities' deaths before they left Aigas. Yet as it stood, he was going to have to take the spoils for killing the Deities for himself. With his new power, it was easy. However…
Blood suddenly flooded from behind his Bare Guise, and the Majestic Territory, Desne of Maximum Fatalities, shattered around him and the others.
…!!!
This was almost as shocking to Skullius, Quintess, and Boron as Listafelle's sudden death. They all had their opinions. Quintess' was rather obvious. His Zu'sse spiked even further than before as he watched the lingering remains of Listafelle (barely any that could be seen with the naked eye) …and then turned sharply to Fulgardt.
Just like that, the person he knew longest was killed. No number of suns could compare to the flaring of his rage. Not once had Quintess believed that Listafelle would die, not when he was beside her. But that hardly mattered, it seed. Not when there were anomalies about. They broke certainties apart.
Skullius' reaction was more subdued. He was less concerned about Listafelle and more about the chanics of Fulgardt's Territory.
'I knew it! Such an absurd ability can't be used indefinitely! He can only use it on one target at a ti, and even then, the Territory exerts too much pressure on him. He's forced to dispel it after a single use. Can he use it again?' Beads of cold sweat were falling from his brow.
He was right on the money with his assumptions. He was, after all, the only one who understood how Fulgardt was able to pull off a one-shot kill on a Deity like that.
The main reason behind it all was Fulgardt's Mastered Voided Death Aspect, Reach. Skullius had gleaned about it from Fulgardt's mories earlier. It allowed the bastard to interpret the void as Reach in whatever aning of the word.
Reach, as in grabbing for so distant object or concept.
Reach, as in arriving at a destination or an absurd conclusion and calling it the truth.
Reach, as in the extent of an influence.
Fulgardt was using the Aspect a series of different ways at once.
His attack on Listafelle, Fatal Embrace, allowed him to reach for her body and soul and then her Broader Existence in an instant. It wasn't that it allowed him to reach an enemy's Broader Existence; it simply forced a sequence of destruction from body to Broader Existence to happen before the target could even consider reinforcent or healing.
Skullius' face turned ugly.
'And we're still in the Second Layer. He can learn to go beyond even that…' he dreaded.
bellowed Boron joyfully.
Quintess didn't say anything. Perhaps he did an to roar right then, but sothing happened first.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Swift wads of darkness blasted into Quintess, Boron, and Skullius in an instant, sending them spiralling down. It was Fulgardt using a combination of Reach and Exorbitance. He had grown so strong that even Quintess' basic Zu'sse couldn't shield him from the full brunt of the blow. None of the combatants were left with any aningful damage, though. Skullius was reinforced by Focused Null Life Ota and Boron…
"I just told you: Let's enjoy this before you all die!" cried Fulgardt, and he soared upwards towards the gleaming scrolls overhead.
…!
Boron rushed up after him, barking with laughter.
Quintess finally roared.
