Now that things have come to this, there is no need to overthink it. Among the most useful skills Guchen has just drawn in a ten-pull from the system is precisely this Specium Ray.
Facing Venti's aggrieved expression, Guchen smiles carelessly:
"I told you, my fingers were just itching. I wanted to try out a newly learned move, and I had no intention of killing you.
At full power, this attack of mine is rated at a scorching half a million degrees.
With my current strength, the blast I just fired was barely ten thousand degrees at best.
How could a destructive heat of under ten thousand degrees possibly kill you?"
Venti's jaw almost drops:
"Destructive heat of ten thousand degrees?
And you still say you didn't want to kill me?
You were aiming straight for my head just now! And you even told me to stand there and not move!"
