The Hunter was a Daemon who broke away from fate itself. Forging a dark covenant in his darkest moments, Mother Nature transfigured him to exist in the universe without the life force that drove all of humanity: a Core.
In exchange, he was given a body, mind, soul and spirit, talents, skills and crafts of perfection. He transcended all power scaling in the Shinjutsu universe, becoming a phenomenon every Daemon had feared back in the day, startling even the King himself.
Owari Kurogane beheld Shogun fight through the pain of his flames, his body rapidly burning beyond recognition. The latter was not new to pain, and his body's build granted him the resilience he needed to endure the technique.
He increased the intensity of the flames, but Shogun adopted a stance. He hopped on air and in that instant, he was out of the King’s sight.
