Stalling For the New Attack

"You're better than I expected for a newly risen god," Halmut praised Jack with a laugh.

"And you're less threatening than I anticipated," stated Jack, laughing back at the Sun God.

"True, I'm still underestimating you. I'll continue to do so but I'll show you another fraction of my power." More energy gathered within Halmut's jaws, easily surpassing the strength of his previous breath attacks. Hundreds of holy energy swords dotted the air around both combatants, removing Jack's ability to efficiently teleport away. "Take this and prove to me that I should fight you seriously!"

A stream of multicolored flame rocketed out of Halmut's mouth, rushing for Jack.

Needing time, Jack charged forward in response. As the attack neared him, Jack sidestepped it and darted forward beside the steaming plume of flame, unaffected by the burning heat thanks to his pitch-black flame body.
