Extermination is one of Taksaka's unique transcendental skills. Agni copied it using the Sword of Hellfire.

Agni's use of this skill

This transcendental is originally the sura form unique transcendental of the Vritra Clan Nastika Taksaka. Because Agni is not a sura and cannot change into sura form, he can only achieve some relatively minor effects; it also puts him into a special buff state. When Taksaka uses this skill in sura form, it brings a storm of destruction and devastation. When Agni uses it, it merely causes a regeneration-hindering effect.

As long as the Extermination buff is maintained:

• the regeneration rate of all living things within a certain range is greatly reduced.
• if a target receives damage from a transcendental Agni uses in this state, the regeneration rate of that damage is greatly reduced, even if the target is out of range of the Extermination AOE.
• unlike usual, Agni appears blackened, and all transcendentals he uses look black.

Furthermore, he is unable to use White Assimilation, nor any transcendental skills that suras cannot use (such as Paradisial Flare). It is different from White Assimilation, but his temper becomes quite violent and he's not in the mood for jokes. (But compared to Taksaka, the owner of this transcendental skill, he still has a very nice personality.)

Agni learned Vritra's skill Fathomless Fire quite a long time ago via Sword of Hellfire, but that skill can only be used in sura form. It was only after learning Extermination, a sura-form offensive transcendental skill, that he discovered that he was able to use Vritra clan sura-form transcendentals...but Agni has yet to tell the other gods that he is able to use them.

Notes

The author Currygom explained on her blog after the release of Episode 3-57 that Extermination is never mentioned in the webtoon itself, because knowledge of this transcendental is not necessary to understand the webtoon's story.

Season 2

In Kalibloom, as Agni tries to calm Gandharva after his rampage on the city, he uses Sword of Hellfire to summon the sword that allows him to use Extermination, which in turn allows him to use Fathomless Fire so they can speak without eavesdroppers.

When Yuta vanishes from Aeroplateau during Samphati's attack, Agni summons the sword via Sword of Hellfire and tries to intimidate Sagara by using Extermination.

Season 3

Agni uses this skill so he can use Fathomless Fire on Gandharva once again, after the nastika, under the delusion that his daughter Shakuntala is still alive, uses Frozen Tear.
