Darius, naturally, was the first to reach the horde, and he launched himself into the air before coming down like a meteor.
His fist, still coated in void flames, slammed into the first beast. Before it could even let out a roar of pain, the flames spread across its body and completely engulfed it.

The black flames paid no heed to the fact that the creatures were resistant to fire; they burned through them all the same.
The beasts that hadn't yet been touched by the flames instinctively recoiled, their natural fire resistance meaning nothing against something like the void flames.
Orion watched from a short distance away, his expression unreadable for a few seconds before a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
