Smiting

Smiting is a powerful ability where a being kills another being, generally by touching them.

Angels can inherently smite most demons and monsters as well as humans. Archangels and Seraphim can smite demons effortlessly and kill them instantly. When it comes to regular angels, it takes more concentration and if they are too physically or mentally weak, it will not work and they will only be able to smite black-eyed demons but not high-tier ones, such as Bernael.

It is implied that an angel cannot smite a demon outside of a vessel, as Nathaniel pushed a demon back into its host while it was trying to escape, before smiting it. If a demon or human has been smote, the vessel's eyes light up with a holy light (color depends on the angels halo), burning the eyes and killing the host. Apparently, angels can control how powerful their smite is, and can choose if it will kill their targets, or simply burn out their eyes, which usually happens to people who attempt to view the true form of an angel.

Variations
The ritual to release Death from his coffin was able to smite several demons, causes them to flash an orange light from their eyes and mouths as they collapsed dead.

Medicus are able to smite their victims, whether they be humans, demons, or even lesser angels. Their smiting manifests as a bright pink glow from their hands, which caused the target to explode instantaneously at the molecular level, leaving only a pink liquid substance of the remains of the target in the vicinity.

The angels of Heaven are capable of uniting their power to perform an immense beam of light in order to smite a target. The beam shoots down from the sky and causes a large crater in the ground. The angels can also control how powerful the blast is. The beam was powerful enough to damage The Darkness and in his weakened state, to knock him unconscious.
