Rastille rushed forward, swinging his sledgehammer down on the nearest Malignant with hefty strength. The creature exploded into Essence from the single hit, popped like a balloon. He then dashed from one to the next, surprisingly agile for a man his size. Each time, he beared his mighty tool down on them, looking like he was splatting their bodies into the dirt. Sort of like whatever the opposite of pulling weeds was, only for them to all dissolve away to nothing, leaving the head of the hammer resting softly on the soil. Eventually, he got to some weird mole thing with shield-like armor covering its limbs. The hammer clanged when it struck the hard shell, reverberating around the playground. But the Summoner didn’t let that stop him. Frost began to exude from the head of the sledgehammer, quickly freezing the armor. He pulled back for a second and swung down again, shattering the mole’s limbs away and then giving it a swift death with a whack on the head. Damn, he uses Frost Touch way better than me, Angelica couldn’t help but lament. But she’d barely been a Demon for a few weeks, and he’d been doing this for at least a decade or so by the sounds of it, so it wasn’t right to compare herself. Still, it was good in a way to see the heights she could reach. If improving her Might let her crush Malignants like they were ice sculptures, that was all the more motivation to build her strength. Looking around, the other Summoners were also doing work, or at least Vystal was. She worked well with Xinder. The bird was corralling the enemies into a group, occasionally scratching some with its talons, inflicting them with what looked like some sort of Petrification status, literally turning the Malignants’ bodies to stone. His master was doing something similar, using a wand as a catalyst to fire blasts of energy at the others that were not yet afflicted, surely using her Demon’s power to solidify them as well. Then when the bunch were all still and blocky, she pulled at a second one. This stick charged up what looked like balls of air that then fired at the Malignant statues, blasting them to rubble before they dissolved like usual. Was the wind power also Xinder’s, or maybe that wand had a Rune in it. [Wand of Wind | Runes Slotted: Cyclone Sphere Lv.7, Seeking Projectile Lv.3] Thanks, Scrying Eye! Gelic honestly didn’t know she could do that, so it was always good to experiment whenever possible. Though she now knew the answer, and was greatly envious of the Seeking Projectile Rune, the speculation would have been further confirmed, because the bird wasn’t using wind magic of any kind. Instead, it flew up into the air and shed several feathers which plummeted toward the ground, turning more stoney and sharp during their descent, basically becoming a rain of arrows that further decimated the stuck creatures. Not working well with his unpresent partner was Sperado, barely looking like he was helping at all. From the case, he’d pulled out some sort of automatic crossbow that fired magazines of bolts almost like a gun. Which honestly made her wonder why he wasn’t actually using a gun. Scrying Eye was actually no help there, not even registering the item he was holding. Perhaps there wasn’t anything special or magical about it that was worthy enough to display. “Does that have like any special enchantments or anything?” Gelic couldn’t contain her curiosity so she directly asked its user. “Hrm, nope,” the man sounded completely disinterested by the question, and then sighed when it apparently fell on him to explain things. “Malignants don’t really have elemental weaknesses generally. Unlike Demons, even Holy magic doesn’t do more or less than anything else. They’re pretty much afflicted by everything, kind of like animals, so there’s no reason to use anything special, at least until you get to very strong, very evolved Malignants, but we won’t find any like those here. “Ah, to answer your question, though, there is one special thing about t
