Since the dispersed pattern wasn't working for the Disintegrators, Max switched them to stronger beams, leaving himself without area of effect weapons since the explosions of the Mass Driver rounds weren't working here for some unknown reason.
The concentrated beam of the Disintegrator vaporized three of the smaller red demons at once, turning them to nothing but ash that seemed to float in the air for a few moments before being blown away.
That was more like it. It wasn't affecting as many as before, but it was still enough to deal some real damage to the enemy.
Max locked blades with one of the six armed violet demons, then laughed at its hiss of annoyance as he rotated to the side, and the overhand swipe of the claws all tore through empty air where he had been.
