79 - Ausal and Geral, A bit of Juju.
Fast. That was the only thing that Geral and Juju could think. Very fast.
Ausal was quick enough to blur past the groups of fragments and Heralds locked in battle. Quick enough that her wind force pushed most back as she sped past them.
The silvery and gold shine in her eye as she activated her rulerune and made her body float with the wind to make it lighter and faster was undetected by most.
By the time she was already next to the creature, Geral and Juju had not even thought of their first move. So when she was already hovering right by the maw of the thing looking into its mouth Geral was still racing up the creature's body
She looked at the various Heralds either bathed in white fire or covered in black ones. The Kyratks we're harder to note if not for their white skin that made them stand out.
Wind whips shot down and grabbed a Herald. Before pulling and flinging them out. One by one she sent out a herald ignoring the rising change of color down below in the creature's gullet.
By the time she flung Helma and Yiris out the entire inner mouth was already uttering a screech that rattled her drums making her fail to escape in time.
The flames got closer and closer and right as she collected herself the wall of fire was already there. Her eyes froze at the sight of the heat, and the flames froze at the sight of her. Her fur already singing from the proximity.

------------------------------------------
Ausal didn't have such an ability though. She was as frozen as the flames. Even those that were around her either flying or standing on a rock or debris were all frozen. Even the fragments were too.
All but one Azkolve were affected. The grey with green patches and stripes of fur Azkolve grabbed the female around her waist as he glanced at the wall of fire right where he was.
His eyes moved to the distance where he spotted Velces frozen an embraced expression on his face as he watched the flames.
Quickly he pushed off the thing and glided back with his left arm still holding to Ausal. Halfway from the thing, he felt a slight bubble behind him bend and then shift.
He deactivated lapse instantly and groaned. Innate abilities were powerful. Able to ignore the divine rule that was set by pausing time Geral had to use his energy for every second.
The moment everything reactivated the fire rushed forward. Ausal gaped even as she pondered how she got from the maw to this distance. Yet it didn't matter as the flame would still get to them.
Before she could think much about it the scene in front of her cracked like glass. It looked like someone punctured the center of the reflective wall creating a center of impact that glowed white. The spidery web-like lines of the shattering spread over from that point over the scene of the environment like a break in reality itself. Confused she watched as the lines that spread over the front oozed white light and a bit of purple too from it.
The sound of a battering glass echoed as it all broke into countless pieces while Ausal shut her eye in fright of what was to come.
Only when she felt nothing did she open her eyes and find herself and every other Herald right behind Velces.

------------------------------------------
"How..." she stopped as an Azkolve spoke om behind.
"Ah. That was fun. Can't believe I actually got it right". Juju rejoiced with a beaming smile showing off his fangs while making a fist pump.
The other Heralds couldn't help but shiver at the thought of what would have happened if indeed the ability hadn't worked.
Almost as if to remind them the flames in the distance completely ate up the creature. Then with a blast of shockwave, it released a pressure that sent several of the fragments flying in all directions killing some and just stunning others.
From the flames, that were dwindling after burning up the huge thing a hammer shot out flying back with the speed of a comet and into its owner's grasp. Its head was still red hot from the heat it emitted.
---------------------------------------------------
SHATTERWAVE. -
It doesn't just take fire to cause destruction. Initial Flames pressure adds damage to the enemy within 50-meters radius of effect. (Active)
---------------------------------------------------
Since shatterwave was Morgado's ability it could simply activate it at its owner's wish using the heat of the core within it. Only if Velces wished tk increase it's destructive rate could he add divinity to multiply the effects.
Yet even with the creature gone and the fragments scattered Velces didn't seem satisfied.
Turning he fixed his gaze to Dumdriel. " Get everyone off this slab, then pitch it into their midst".
Dumdriel knew that Velces was royally missed so he didn't attempt to halt the young God. Instead he made quick instructions for all to retreat.
Kyratks, Kerahinis and Azkolve Durags. All three groups fled the slab and flew back from the site. Only dumdriel stayed a bit close, the rulerune appearing on his claw tips as what remained of the slab spun till it's tip was pointed to the Fragments.
The horde was clamoring and rushing at them. Unending. He realized why Velces had them pull back. It wasn't just rage. The Fragments were too much as usual.
Their numbers as a whole was still not enough to hold the beasts back without a gods aid. Dumdriel felt that as a divine neast he was more of a failure than the heralds since he should be more powerful.
Above Velces had floated up some more before nodding to Dumdriel. He already had everything he needed set. A rulerune blazed on Morgado's head while another blazed on the tip of its handle then finally another red burning large circular rulerune appeared right above the horde.
"Now!" he yelled. Dymdriel launched the lab slab straight forward like a gigantic bullet.
As for Velces he waited as he fingers counted down from three to two and then one.
Morgado rose pointing above him, his hand stretched past his head. Then he flung the hammer down straight at the rulerune.
The first rulerune in the tip of the handle shone brightly in an azure glow. The wind pushed the hammer down even more forcibly. The second rulerune also glowed with a bizarre hue right as it left.
The weight of the hammer increased and it's center of gravity multiplied by thirty times its original. Finally was the third rulerune that covered the horde it shrunk rapidly till it became a pinprick. A pinprick that the falling hammer consumed right before it rammed straight into the slab.
All of this happened in just seconds. Leaving the others no time to react. From the rune activation to the flight and the contact. Everything was instant.
Still Velces was fast enough to relay the final word to his hammer.
"Purge".
