Sizzle!

Like a red-hot branding iron pressed against hide, a charred mark instantly appeared on Hercules's bronze arm. Yet no blood flowed; instead, wisps of black vapor curled around the wound, bringing a soul-piercing pain like countless needles.

Hercules frowned and gave a muffled grunt. The movement of his left arm visibly stiffened.

But less than two seconds later, the muscles around the wound twitched slightly, and a purer, fiercer divine power forcibly expelled and dispersed the wisp of black vapor.
