#RKGK
MAXIMUM - SCATHENCE BARRAGE
A supercharged array of magical beams, concentrated on a singular area in a fashion directly inspired by military cluster missiles.
Thanks to Angelica's Maximum technique, each beam carries the strength of a full-power Scathence.

#EXIWANNABETHEHERO #IndieComics

Buster and Ryuji - Angelica's unfortunate targets for her Scathence Barrage Art. Even the Strongest of the New Generation must defend himself to avoid certain death upon direct impact.

Quite a few - I’m trying to get more eyes on them (half because I’m perpetually swirling the poverty drain, half cuz its my dream to be a storyteller) but it has been super tough.
All art I’ve done for them is under the tag #EXIWANNABETHEHERO, and the books themselves are here on Amazon:

Ryuji summons the mighty Kokuryu - a sealed beast bound to his Sealed Flame Unit. Can Ezekiel stand up to such a monstrosity after his offenses failed miserably so far?
