You stand up after ignoring the Archbishop’s offer. You channel your entity’s power: *Pluto.*
Thrust onto you by the melting corpse to defend him from any upcoming threat — be it his own son threatening him or the clueless biker who showed up during Judgment Day— Pluto has the power to launch precise laser beams from an energy sphere you conjure, the rounds can either pierce or bounce off their objectives at your discretion. The Energy Sphere loses size with each shot, but once they land (or are recalled), the energy returns to it.
The Bouncing effect allows you to hit multiple targets without severely wounding them (akin to a pellet bullet, but they feel like a kick), the beam ricochets without losing speed or force as long as you maintain it. You must aim.
The Piercing effect streaks towards its target within range as a homing attack, upon landing it stops. It’s far more deadly, but you can’t control where it lands. It only targets living beings.
You will launch one shot directed to one of the twins’ head, it’ll ricochet to the other one, and the same shot will land on the fourth guy with glasses — knocking them all out in one swoop.
You summon the Energy Sphere, point at your objective — the Turtle Brother— and fire.
—It lands on the brother—
“Ugh.” Squarefelix drops down on the ground.
“Huh?” The beautiful prince is pleasantly surprised but downright confused.
—It ricochets on the other one—
“Aagah!!” Roundbert eats dirt as well.
“I see...” With a glance, Velenius has caught on to what is happening.
—It now will land on the fourth guy with glasses—
“No.” Darwin Borewing throws the golf ball in his hand to deflect the laser. But it ricochets once again on a wall, and smacks him in the face, knocking him down as well. He didn’t have anything to deflect it, so he accepted his fate.
Congratulations. You have easily defeated a gang of criminals. It only cost you some SP.
“Look at what you’ve done…” The Archbishop sounds more playfully disappointed than actually upset.
“That was incredible, madam! Flashy and effective. I suppose I wasn’t entertaining enough for your taste!” Velenius shortens the distance with his spectral horse, then unsummons to congratulate you.
“Nonsense. I couldn’t stand watching you get hurt like that.” You need to feign that this wasn’t a power play.
“Agh, how unsophisticated of me to make such a kind lady worry. Apologies.” Velenius truly laments worrying you.
“No need. It was selfish of me to intervene.” You pretend it was out of impulse.
“A little unrefined there, Velenius. You studied all their abilities, didn’t you?” The Archbishop pouts. She snaps her fingers and orders the guards to take care of the criminals without missing a beat of the conversation.
