Receiving the go ahead from Ravenia, Jacob charged forward. He wasn't worried about collateral damage at this point. The wall would remain undamaged from his blast. Aside from a slight shock wave from the actual explosion, the primary destructive force was heat and radiation. The harpies should have worked out his goal by now, and were probably moving for either distance or cover. As for Tobias and Ravenia, Jacob had full confidence in Tobias's abilities to weather the storm at the range he was shooting for. Tobias was a survive, if only because of his gift, and Jacob could respect that, if nothing else. Jacob sprinted towards the main group of the horde, blasting any dead that got too close with his eye beams. As he reached the main group, he dived forward, tackling the the first few in the group. As he did so, Jacob reached into the depths of his power, the burning radioactive furnace that was at his core, and released it from his entire body all at once. A loud, roaring noise went forth as radioactive energy was unleashed in a single blast. The first line of dead that had been right on top of Jacob instantly disintegrated from the sheer heat and energy. The majority of the herd around him were thrown back from the shockwave, bits and pieces of them burnt to a crisp, or just thrown clean off. A small mushroom cloud of dust billowed for a few seconds at the epicenter. Jacob himself was now on the ground, a green aura surrounding him. His entire body itched from having his skin burnt clean off his body. Jacob flared his energies for a few seconds, finishing the work on his body the explosion had begun. Every trace of skin and hair on his body was gone, replaced by a glowing skeleton. Jacob climbed to his feet, and felt a dull numbness coating his body. He wasn't worried, as it was part of the finished process. Jacob looked around, his expressionless skull still seeing perfectly well. Not all of the dead had been killed, as some had gotten away with burns, their composition still intact. Jacob called back to the wall. [b]"It's clear, but only engage the dead behind me. I'm finishing the job up here." [/b] Their was another side note to Jacob's power that only the more trusted of the blessed ones were aware of, including Ravenia, Tobias, and the harpies. The power levels Jacob used when his skin was on rarely went higher then a specific level was because of the physical irritation he felt when using them. However, with his skin now gone, this was no longer an issue, meaning Jacob could increase the energy level of his abilities without repercussions. If Jacob had a face to express with, he would have a snicker right about now. Aiming his hands forward, he discharged massive beams of energy at the remains of the main group of dead. Jacob remained at his spot, melting large swathes of dead at a time. Only one manged to reach him from the side. Jacob merely flared up his side, knocking the dead back before he backhanded it, the sheer heat of his body melting it enough so its head was knocked clean off its body. So long as he could hold the remains of the main group back here, the battle was all but assured. It was only a matter of time before he finished off the remains here, and the rest of the defense team eliminated the dead behind him that remained.
