With that, Jake lowered his stance.
The muscles in his arms tightened and bulged as he drew the sword back, his entire body coiling like a spring ready to release.
CRACK!
Then,
A red aura, resembling violent lightning, suddenly erupted around him.
CRACK!
CRACK!
Crimson arcs of energy flashed across his body, crawling over his shoulders and down his arms before gathering around the blade of light.
The air surrounding him started to shake as a sudden, overwhelming pressure erupted from Jake.
BOOM!
The ground beneath his feet fractured.
Small stones rose from the earth and began to vibrate in the air before being scattered by the pressure emanating from his body.
The countless nagas charging up the slope instinctively slowed down.
Some even stopped for a brief moment.
They could feel something was wrong.
The air itself seemed to become heavier.
