"Annihilation Strike?" Chris leaned forward, eyes bright with curiosity. "Sounds busted. Ethan, you mind showing us?"
The rest of them stared at Ethan like kids waiting for a magic trick.
"Sure," Ethan said, nodding. "I want to get a feel for it too."
He led them out to the backyard.
Under their eager gazes, Ethan pulled out his poleaxe. His expression sharpened, the lazy warmth draining out of his eyes like someone flipping a switch.
A pitch-black glow seeped over the blade.
Then Ethan slammed the poleaxe down into the ground.
"BOOM!"
A violent roar shook the yard. The earth caved in, leaving a massive crater—five or six meters deep. Dust and grit blasted up and painted everyone gray all over again.
Nearby, people living around the mansion went pale with fear.
"Those monsters are playing demolition again! They better not bury us along with the house!"
"Screw this. Tomorrow I'm filing for a new place. This is scary as hell!"
