Chapter 474: Corruption

There was no way a poison could remove momentum. It wasnt a physical force.

Yet, the absurdity of the thought gave him an idea and Sage acted upon it. The Greenrose Venom poisoned living things. Telekinesis was essentially a use of Spirit Power. Didnt Spirit Power come from living things? Could he poison the Spirit Power? Focusing his strength, he found that he could! The Primal Law hed comprehended could corrupt anything! Since the projectiles were already so far from the minds guiding them, and with a suitably powerful medium, he corrupted the Spirit Power that propelled them, just enough to disrupt their control. He was sure with some more effort theyd figure out how to add more strength or use finesse to avoid his contamination, but he didnt plan on letting it get that far!

Corruption. Changing things from what they should be.

The giant cobras eyes closed and then they reopened again. The red-outlined triple pupils starting to oscillate, vibrating up and down while emitting a yellow glow. The cobras hood changed colors, turning into a brilliant light show. Black and white lines swirled together, spinning round and round. Not only had Sages rank increased, but with the enhancement of the Primal Law of Corruption, he sought to change these people. Polluting their minds, corrupting their loyalty.

What?! Impossible!

That booming voice washed over the forest, the man in the wheelchair very displeased with what he was seeing. The thousands of Flares stopped moving, standing in place, locked in an unmoving daze.

The huge cobra slithered itself into a huge coiled pile, burying its head and seeming to ignore the battle that was going on. The Flares rushed towards the man in the wheelchair, but they were intercepted by the fire giant. One of the Flares was nearly as tall as the fire giant, reaching a full eight feet in height. The man was overflowing with muscle, with arms as big as a normal mans torso. He carried a huge sledgehammer that seemed to be an anvil welded to a bar as thick as a firemans pole. The flame giant didnt even bother to avoid the attack, the huge piece of metal causing sparks to fly, but passing through the flame giants body. The fire giant reached out and grabbed the strongman by the throat.

Was I wrong?

Sage was of course watching the battle, but only with his Spiritual Sense as he further accustomed himself to his new powers. When the flame giant grabbed that man by the throat he felt his earlier analysis might be wrong. But then, the mans throat wasnt squeezed, it was burned. The giant pulled the man closer and flames bathed his whole body. There was a pained yell, the manly version of a scream. The burly fellows weapon dropped from his hands and he flailed around to try to put out the flame. The fire giant released him, but the fires kept raging and the man started rolling around on the ground to try and douse the flames that only got bigger. Other Flares moved to attack, most of those that wore no mask were physically empowered. They used weapons and their weirdly misshapen limbs. They were just like that Fisher Punk Sage first battled with, but not as extreme. Their odd limbs were only 50% larger than normal rather than larger than the rest of their whole body.

Sadly, none of them stood a chance against a creature made of fire. None of their attacks did much. Even when they combined attacks, the most they did was cause the fire giant to partially disperse. The fire giant was sliced into two pieces, its legs bursting into sparks and disappearing. The fire giant killed the offender, a man with a huge waist that wielded a massive axe, with an arrow shaped flame. The fire shot into the mans eye, burning a hole through his head. Then, a moment later the fire giants legs reformed.

If Sage cared about these people he would have called them back, but they were the enemy after all. He let the fire giant waste time and energy dispatching each and every one of them. The hundreds of Flares attacking just a few at a time in unending waves, a match with a hundred rounds. The fire giant started to get smaller as time passed, and by the time the last Flare fell, it was down to man sized.

At that moment, the giant cobra finally stirred. It rose up and fixed a vicious stare at the man in the wheelchair. There was something odd about its eyes, one of them seeming to carry the boundless emptiness of the void, complete with tiny sparkling stars.
