"Two demons fighting, and one of them wants to defend a kingdom," Skyla said as she flew alongside Morgana. "Curious, isn't it?" Morgana questioned, and she nodded, watching the man throw Ethan several meters away.
"Morgana... is it just me, or is that...?" Skyla began to say, and Morgana completed: "Stellar Launch of the Flame Queen." Morgana confirmed Skyla's suspicions... one of the attacks for which Valentina was known.
"That's not all," they heard, and beside them, Sara hovered with two feathered angelic wings and golden hair, appearing breathless as she arrived next to the women.
"Sara Vortex," Morgana said, analyzing her being. 'Interesting,' she thought.
"That man used the damn Walk Among Flames earlier, and Simon said he was the one who taught him," Sara came to her, going against the plan just to question her about it.
"That's impossible. Simon can't even use fire magic," Morgana confirmed, and Sara trembled slightly. "M-Morgana, what are the chances of Valentina teaching that to a man other than Dante?" She questioned as everything trembled.
"Hm? That's impossible. The Walk Among Flames originates from the Fire Spirit 'Igris'. It's impossible for anyone else to use it besides Valentina and Dante, who have the greatest affinity with fire in this world. Perhaps imitation is possible, but the original technique is impossible, as both were blessed by the Fire Spirit," Morgana confirmed, and Sara's world collapsed...
'It's you... it's really you!' her heart began to fill with joy, happiness, and... relief. Her whole being began to be filled with a feeling she couldn't even say whether it was real or not; she was... living a dream.
Her eyes turned completely golden, losing their blue coloration, and her wings faintly shimmered. It was as if... she was complete again.
"Hm? What kind of reaction is that?" Morgana questioned, seeing that Sara's power had almost doubled in strength.
"Well, I guess she must be thinking that man is Dante," Skyla commented, and Morgana looked at her as if to say "Are you kidding me, I don't sense anything related to Dante coming from him, energy, spirit, magic code, nothing." She paused and sighed.
"I've been trying to revive him for ten years and failed," Morgana commented, and Skyla responded, "How do you revive something that's alive?" Morgana simply looked at her as if she could pierce her with her gaze.
"The one who spoke is no longer here," Skyla said and disappeared.
An explosion occurred, catching everyone's attention, when Aldria turned around, she saw the new Ethan. "Is this idiot still human?" she questioned. "Come on, get out of here!" She shouted quickly as she saw Dante appear, placing the spear on one of his shoulders.
"He... is fighting effortlessly against that?" She wondered, seeing Dante's body slightly injured but nothing compared to Ethan's, who was full of holes and blood.
"Hey, you idiots, get out of here now," Dante said to them, who quickly nodded and started running, Aldria did the same after receiving a heavy stare from Dante.
"Hahaha!" Ethan laughed as he pushed Dante off him, throwing him backward. "Let's see if my stepmother likes this," he said and launched a bolt the size of a pillar towards Aldria, who stood still unable to do anything... She only felt fear.
Her legs trembled, and she couldn't move, she was about to die when Dante appeared in front of her, holding her like a princess. "Hey, Empress, isn't it time to play the princess who needs to be saved!! The princess here is Velryna, you know?" Dante teased, making her blush as he kicked the bolt.
He jumped and let her go in the air.
"Go," he said, and she finally nodded, letting go of his muscular arms, for a moment... she almost deviated from her path as a faithful wife.
"This guy really isn't normal, every blow he strikes is stronger than the last," Dante said to the wind and heard a response. "He's using the authority of Greed, he's probably already become a vessel of the Sin of Greed." This information came from his Alterego. "How do I deal with this?" Dante questioned, but the answer was too vague. "Kill him before he steals more power."
"Nice, nice... nice, now I'll have to change part of the plan, good Alterego, could have warned me earlier," Dante commented and only heard "
It's for your growth."
"Tsk," he clicked his tongue as he saw an even larger bolt coming towards him, fortunately, he managed to dodge quickly.
"This feeling of unease..." Dante thought as he dodged the numerous bolts, but soon he felt something coming. "Damn."
When he turned around, he saw a huge bolt forming behind him, with all those previous bolts merging, there were more than fifty bolts together. He wished he had time to dodge, but...
"Damn."
