"Sure thing," I replied with a confident nod, activating my Second Wing and swiftly advancing towards Loid and Alfred.

Under my breath, I muttered, "Anathemas Fire," channeling my energy through the staff. With a powerful twirl, I forcefully plunged it into the ground, causing a mighty quake to ripple through the earth.
