>>5589145The instant you see your family dropping you'd Ascended, emerald aura blazing wildly as you'd readied yourself to slaughter them and take a single step towards them all. But you then manage to restrain yourself, instead glancing over to Chilli. Who is looking more annoyed than anything, your son striding forward towards the skeleton's orange-suited minion with eyes glowing green. Wait, what?
“That's enough, Demiurge. Let them go, now.” your son commands, hat blasting from his head as he Ascends up into his golden form. “Or you and I will throw down, right here and now.”
“Demiurge.” the skeleton says, his deep voice carrying a tone of disappointment and exasperation. To which the orange-suited being immediately bows, speaking out again.
“YOU MAY MOVE FREELY.” the one apparently called Demiurge says, everyone now rising up. You look over to your granddaughter, whose gaze is focused on the demon. And for the first time since you've seen her, she actually looks MAD. Little brows furrowed, you watch as her black eyes suddenly glow with crimson light, swinging a hand forward towards the demon.
“BAAAAH!” Meloka Wolbach shouts, everyone turning towards her. Even Chilli turns around towards his daughter, and seeing her eyes glowing like you've seen from the other Crimson Demons from time to time his own widen. But she doesn't see her father, eyes focused only on the demon as she raises her right arm overhead, then swings it down, finger pointed towards Demiurge. “BAAAAAAAH!!”
And he explodes.
<span class="mu-s">KABOOM</span>
Everyone shouts in surprise or shock, the blast actually knocking back several of the skeleton's people. They all keep their feet under them, except for Demiurge who is knocked flat on his ass, stunned. But you ignore them, looking back towards your granddaughter. Who seems quite pleased with herself, before you see Megumin ask her something. You see her turn around, very self-satisfied smile on her face. Which causes you to smirk, turning back as you hear Demiurge rising back up, actually <span class="mu-i">growling</span> with anger. But before he can speak, another voice speaks up from somewhere behind you.
“For someone who touts his own strength, getting knocked flat on your ass by a literal child must be quite embarrassing. Especially in front of the Supreme Being you wish so much to be seen as invaluable. Such shame is absolutely savory!”
