So far, it seemed to be working well, though one could say it was working too well. Daphne was attempting to close the distance between herself and the young woman sending a now massive glowing green orb in Cora’s direction. It was now bright enough to give the immediate area an unnatural green tint. While it floated toward Cora, it was still unknown what the attack could do, but it could change direction to follow its intended target. Daphne needed to move faster. Meanwhile, the man facing Vincent, instinctively raised a hand to protect his face. [color=tan][i]Damn![/i][/color] He thought as he jumped and shifted his personal field of gravity so he could fly backward and out from the carbon cloud. Even though he had gotten out of such a dangerous situation, he was disappointed in the fact he could let something like that happen. His experience told him he may have just lost this but he would simply quit. This was no sparring match or honorary duel. He’d defeat his opponent by any means. [color=tan]“Fire on him! He’s in the cloud!”[/color] The man shouted as he readied his hands to dish out powers if he caught even a glimpse of Vincent leaving the black cloud that continued to expand. He planned to keep his distance from it but the armed henchmen inched closer and set up a crossfire while encroaching on the cloud. Closeby, the meta that downed Zach scoffed in disbelief. [color=lightyellow]“One hit? You mean to tell me I got lucky and hit the most worthless guy on the team? What do you even have magic for?”[/color] He laughed a little before patting the top of Zach’s tophat, the multicolored electricity now absent. [color=lightyellow]“Just do everyone a favor and sit this one out, alright?”[/color] With a swift motion, he punched down onto Zach’s hat with a normal physical punch. [color=lightyellow]“I’m sure your parents would rather you be a normie than getting folded like this,”[/color] he commented as he walked in the direction of the fluttering pink petals he noticed taking out many of the henchmen in the distance.
