Avarice stood, irritated at Tymon's interference. When he sensed Tymon gathering power to shadow travel, he rushed to intervene, aiming to remove Tymon's head altogether until he suddenly sensed something unexpectedly powerful heading their way and fast.
"Where's this presence coming from?" he asked, stupefied.
This has to be a quarter of my own power. Is this the human? He thought before shaking the idea out of his head. No. She couldn't possess this much power. But—
Before he could finish his thought, he noticed Tymon and Damien slip into a shadow. He suddenly realized the energy wasn't a person but a devastating attack aimed at him.
Avarice turned the entire area into crystalline gold and used Golden Paradise and Armor of God to block the imminent blast. Whatever the attack was, it was strong enough to rip through Gold Paradise like nothing and caused immeasurable destruction to the surroundings as it drove Avarice back into the nearby mountain range.
Once the attack was over, Avarice found himself deep within a mountain that collapsed over him as he tried to get up, but a mere mountain wouldn't hold him. When he broke free, he dusted himself off and saw he was relatively fine apart from a few scratches. He'd used spirit enhancement to strengthen Armor of God.
"That was undoubtedly the human...She may have somehow gotten more powerful than before, but her power still pales compared to mine."
"Think so?" Avarice heard her voice call out. He looked up to see her peering down at him from the top of what used to be the mountain.

I began to float down to the ground where Avarice stood, ready to fight. As I descended, I still held an Erasure Nucleus between my hands. It was a technique I created where I placed the telekinetic aspect of my spatial energy around both hands as I had them together. Then, I slowly use my fingertips to grip the energy and pull my hands away from each other, each pulling the energy from the other hand until my arms are as far apart as they can be. Afterward, I concentrated an incredible amount of my spirit energy into the area between my hands. My spirit energy merges with the telekinetic energy, adding density, making it almost elastic, like gum or rubber, as it tries to snap my hands closed again. I use my strength to resist and twist my arms in a spiraling motion around the energy, and if I want to, I then release it to fire it in the desired direction. The destruction from the force alone is insane, but the energy starts to spin after being fired, picking up any debris it can, creating a spiraling, devasting mass of destruction that can blow a hole through a mountain.
What a monstrous power, Damien commented endearingly.
Indeed, Viraa added. Be careful not to use it lightly.
When'd you learn that technique? Tymon asked in disbelief.
Don't distract me, I thought back, resisting the urge to smile. Tymon, I need you to go protect Michael.
Doubt he'll appreciate that, but yeah, that's probably for the best. Did you see something?
Yeah, I saw what their potential is. Right now, Michael shouldn't have an issue defeating them, but—
But they have something that'll help give them an upper hand, Tymon concluded.
Yeah, and since he's been healing everyone this entire time, he's not in his top shape.
I'm heading there now, Tymon assured me.
Lowering toward the ground, I could feel the nature of Avarice's energy. It felt imposing and almost...insatiable like it wanted to swallow everything.
"Alright, where were we?" I said to Avarice as I released more of my power, causing the mountain rubble to rise from the ground.

Fun fact: Avarice prefers to use Auric Touch as an enhancement during battle instead of his hybrid form. Also, a small part of his fortune was once made by him turning stone to crystalline gold, getting them made into jewelry, then selling them from his jewelry stores.
