Cosmic Power Unleashed

Achilles leaped toward the bulky demon, while Medea attacked the corkscrew-shaped one.

Virgil said something, but Achilles cut him off with a sharp thought. “I know this is stupid! I need you to make me as powerful as you can if we’re going to survive this! How far can we go before the risk gets too great?”

He slashed at the demon, who contemptuously tried to block with his arm.

Virgil cut deep and the demon screamed.

Achilles leaped back, surprised. Virgil always did either 1 or 2 damage, except on a Critical Hit, but he’d just dealt 4 damage, leaving the demon at 28 HP!

The demon shook his arm, and the blood splattering from it seemed to sparkle with beads of purple light. “Bastard! It burns like divine power, but you smell nothing like it! What the Hell did you do to me!?”

<Cosmic energy!> said Virgil, sounding smug.
