gravity crash

“Sure,” I agreed, releasing the power I’d been gathering all this time. Once again, I felt it reach down into the earth and touch the forces within—but the target, this time, was different. I felt it spread out like water spilled on the floor, before sinking yet deeper into the thirsty ground, before flowing back to me as if in reverse.

And as it did, all of that force was dragged along with it. Debris jumped into the air, along with drops of water and the slowly settling dust. Even things as large as Azure’s machinery weren’t immune and rose a quick step into the air, as if gravity all around us had abruptly turned off.

Which, you know, it had, though only for a moment. Or rather, it had been concentrated and focused into a much smaller area then normal—namely, everything within five meters of Indigo.

A skill has been created through a special action! Continuous manipulation of mana has created a skill with crushing elemental power, ‘Gravity Crash.’

In an instant, everything near her was crushed flat. Proven wood and twisted metal alike sank into an almost smooth surface all around my sister, who staggered once against the abrupt and enormous weight set upon her. Everything from the atmosphere around her to the very flesh on her bones had their weight multiplied dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of times over in that brief second. Had my sister been a normal human, every bone in her body would have shattered and the fluids within would have exploded outwards as the vessel within was crushed.

But she wasn’t and they didn’t. Instead, with her eyes widening, she staggered and fell to one knee, her hands and feet leaving deep imprints in the ground as she sank up to her thighs and elbows. Even though it only lasted a moment, her physical body collapsed and was left unguarded as it just tried to hold itself upright against the strain.
