the fight against blazer(2)

The battlefield was unrecognizable. The ground was no longer solid but a churning sea of molten rock, split apart by the raw intensity of Blazer's power. The air shimmered with unbearable heat, and the sky—if it could still be called that—was drenched in an endless crimson glow, as if the world itself had been set ablaze.

Blazer stood amidst the chaos, his molten gold eyes gleaming with amusement as he watched Dakota's orange flames dance in the air.

For the first time, the Devil King's grin faltered.

Dakota twirled his sword in his hand, the orange fire surrounding him growing brighter with each passing second. The flames did not burn like Blazer's; they did something worse. They devoured the very heat around them, distorting the inferno in a way that should have been impossible.

Dakota smirked.

Dakota:

"Not so confident anymore, huh?"

Blazer's lips curled back into a grin, but this time, there was something else in his expression—excitement.

Blazer:

"Oh, I'm still confident, 'Creator.' But you? You've just made this so much more interesting."

Dakota didn't wait for a reply.

BOOM!

He vanished.

In less than a second, he reappeared in front of Blazer, his sword already mid-swing. The sheer speed of his movement cracked the air like thunder.

SLASH!

Blazer barely dodged. The orange flames carved through the air, severing space itself where he had been standing moments before. The lingering energy in the air sent shivers down his spine. Dakota's flames weren't just powerful—they were dangerous.

Blazer's instincts screamed at him.

WHOOSH!

Dakota struck again, faster this time. A second slash. Then a third. Then a fourth.

Blazer gritted his teeth, his body barely moving fast enough to evade.

"Damn it, he's too fast."

But Dakota wasn't done.

With a flick of his wrist, his sword twisted mid-air, and the flames expanded—

BOOOOOM!

A wall of orange fire erupted, swallowing Blazer whole.

For a moment, there was silence.

Then—

CRACKLE…

Through the flames, a dark silhouette emerged.

Blazer stepped forward, his cloak burned at the edges, but his body untouched.

Blazer:

"Hah… I see. That's how your flames work."

He rolled his shoulders, his expression shifting. The amusement faded. His usual grin disappeared.

Then—

Something changed.

The air itself trembled.

The flames around him surged, and for the first time, Blazer let his true power rise.

The red inferno around him turned darker, shifting into something deeper, something ancient. It wasn't just fire anymore—it was the raw manifestation of destruction itself.

Dakota's smirk remained, but his grip on his sword tightened.

BOOM!

Blazer vanished.

Dakota barely had time to react.

BANG!

A fist slammed into his ribs.

The sheer force sent him crashing through the molten ground, creating an explosion of lava in every direction.

FWOOOOOSH!

Blazer was relentless. He appeared above Dakota before he could recover.

BANG!

A second punch. Then a third.

BOOOOM!

Each strike felt like a meteor crashing into him.

For the first time in the fight—Dakota was on the defensive.

Mia:

"Dakota!"

She raised her staff, her magic flaring to life.

"Tidal Cage!"

A massive surge of water erupted from the ground, attempting to trap Blazer in its swirling vortex.

But—

FWOOSH!

The moment the water touched Blazer's flames, it evaporated instantly.

Mia's eyes widened.

Blazer turned toward her.

Blazer:

"I don't like distractions."

He raised a hand, his fingers crackling with red lightning—

But before he could attack—

"BURNING ASCENT!"

A second wave of flames crashed toward him—but these weren't Dakota's.

Blazer turned just in time to see Henry, his entire body now engulfed in a furious orange fire. His hair had turned a blazing shade of gold, and his eyes gleamed like molten magma.

Blazer raised an eyebrow.

Blazer:

"Hoh? You, too?"

Henry grinned.

Henry:

"Damn right."

He clenched his fists, his fire expanding outward like a raging storm. His aura flared, shaking the battlefield itself.

Then—he moved.

BOOOOOM!

Henry's fist crashed into Blazer's jaw.

For the first time—Blazer staggered.

But Henry wasn't done.

He spun mid-air, his flames twisting around his leg.

"BURNING COMET!"

His kick connected—directly to Blazer's chest.

BANG!

Blazer was sent flying backward, his body smashing through molten pillars.

Dakota, already recovered, teleported beside Henry.

The two shared a brief glance.

Then—

They attacked together.

Dakota slashed from the right—Blazer dodged.

Henry punched from the left—Blazer parried.

The battlefield became a blur of orange flames, clashing against Blazer's crimson inferno.

Each impact sent shockwaves across the ruined landscape.

Each attack was countered by another.

Mia, still supporting from a distance, raised her staff.

Mia:

"Water Surge!"

A massive wave of water erupted, cooling the battlefield and weakening Blazer's flames.

Blazer clicked his tongue.

Blazer:

"Annoying."

His flames flared, pushing back against Mia's magic.

But in that moment of distraction—

Dakota saw an opening.

Dakota:

"Henry! Now!"

Henry grinned.

Then—his flames changed.

They weren't just fire anymore.

They carried weight.

A new force surged around him.

Dakota's eyes gleamed.

Dakota:

"Gravity."

Henry's fire merged with gravity magic—his true ability.

The battlefield collapsed inward.

Blazer's eyes widened.

Blazer:

"Wha—?"

BOOOOOM!

A gravitational force slammed into him, forcing him to his knees. The sheer pressure cracked the molten ground beneath him.

For the first time—Blazer was completely pinned down.

His red flames struggled against the invisible weight pressing down on him.

He let out a deep, guttural growl.

Blazer:

"…Gravity? I didn't know you had this."

Henry smirked.

Henry:

"Well, what a surprise, huh?"

Blazer gritted his teeth. The pressure was immense—enough to restrain even him.

Then—

Dakota raised his sword.

His orange flames roared to life.

Blazer, still on his knees, lifted his gaze.

Dakota's expression was calm.

His next attack would deal real damage.

Blazer exhaled.

Blazer:

"Heh… I might actually feel this one."

Dakota smirked.

Then—

He swung.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

dakota's slash managed to hit the blazer and blazers chest got slashed and it did a lot of damage to him, Dakota then smirked because he dealt a lot of damage to blazer, but now blazer will go serious.
