Thunder Feat could kill a dozen men and wounds Echidna

She was fast. Faster than fast. So fast that a normal human would’ve been overtaken in an instant. Even I didn’t have time to think about how to react, what I should do. My body just moved on its own, and I stepped back and away, putting only enough distance between us that I had enough range to —

Thunder Feat.

— pull back my arm, gather my strength, and unleash it in a single blow.

“GRAH!”

The bulging mass of her lower body shredded before the power of my attack, blasting away chunks of flesh and meat and spilling some sort of bile all over the place. Heads, tentacles, and legs, severed from the main mass, went flying, spewing something that looked and smelled more like vomit instead of blood, and Noelle herself reared back, screaming, although whether she even felt any pain from the damage, I had no idea.

It wasn’t enough.

If some part of me had held out hope that my almost reflexive blow had been enough to free Amy and Lisa, it was dashed. The front of her, the area that took my Thunder Feat head on, was a mangled mess of pulped meat, a downright nauseating and grisly sight made better only because there wasn’t any blood, and even as I watched, my brain frazzled as I tried to comprehend everything that was happening too much and too fast, more sloughed off and fell to the ground with obscene squelching noises.

But a blow that would have been enough to kill at least a dozen men at once had made only the barest dent in that writhing mass, akin to tearing off the top layer of skin. There was still so much more left, still the majority of that monstrous growth. It would take me a dozen such blows just to carve away half of it, and if I accidentally hit Lisa or Amy in the process…?
