El Martillo
CharacterEl Martillo, translated as 'The Hammer' or 'Fey Hammer,' is a Hollow technique belonging to Ayon. The beast enlarges its right arm to more than double the usual thickness, adding enough mass to drive the limb's crushing, destructive power sharply upward.
Appearance
Ayon's right arm balloons to well over twice its normal girth, a change plainly visible in the sheer bulk the limb suddenly gains.
Abilities
The swelling multiplies the arm's mass, and with it the raw destructive force behind a blow, turning the limb into a battering weapon.
