After almost 12 hours of training, Floga was satisfied with the results
He couldn't feel otherwise, 12 hours was a long enough time for him to realize the base of his technique and figure out the strong and weak points of his powers, and also figure out ways to compensate for all of them
"What the hell are you doing here kid? Did you stay here overnight?" Gnomon said when he spotted Floga lying on the ground
It was clear that Gnomon was worried about him
"Don't be so loud!" Floga said as he got up boosting himself by creating fire from his back
'The room is like a sauna but he... He looks completely fine' Gnomon thought as he quickly started sweating
"What's up? Any new missions?" Floga asked as he put on his shirt
"Like Captain Kamira said no new missions for you until everyone in your division is completely fine!" Gnomon said
"Oh well that sucks!" Floga replied before leaving the training room
"Hey, you have the AC set way too low!" Floga said jokingly before leaving the base
It was the early night of Sunday so nobody had any duties
Floga casually flew over to Biol but something was different
'My fire extraction is way smoother and feels way easier to create, plus I don't overheat as fast as I used to, did one day of training allow me to feel like this?' Floga wondered as he increased his flying speed
Floga even spread fire on his hand, this day Floga was really flying and not just blasting through the air
It was a nice feeling and a refreshing feeling too but when Floga felt at the height of enjoyment he felt the same feeling he felt when he first saw HIM
The Creation Shard was near...
Floga quickly propelled himself toward the mana zone he was sensing and suppressed his mana before entering the mana zone
What he saw was completely unexpected
It was a sin, one he had never seen again
It was Behemoth, the sin of Gluttony
The sin was tall and fat and had an afro haircut with a color similar to that of Caroline's and Abet's
The sin was standing in plane sight facing Mike, the one that held the Shard
"What's up with you guys? Is my lucky stone so desirable?" Mike asked the sin
"I mean if it got a good taste anyone would want it right? Especially me! Anyway, mind giving it to me?" Behemoth asked as he extended his hand
His palm had a stitch that started from his wrist and went just under the start of the middle finger
"I refuse to give my lucky stone to anyone!" Mike said as he made an "X" with his hands
"I see... Then you realize I must use force right?" Behemoth asked
"I know... Can I ask you a question?" Mike said out of the blue
"Sure"
"Can you or anyone you know create a wall or a pillar?"
It was a random yet suspicious question
"Of course not!"
Before Behemoth could explain why nobody would need such a pointless ability Mike started to laugh hysterically
"Then you can't do this! Or THIS!" He yelled as he kept raising walls and pillars
"I can't create anything, what's your point?" The sin asked while obviously seeming to be mad
Mike then fell to his knees and spread his arms
"I knew it! I am the chosen one! The one that will end all the pain and suffering! I'm the one that leads everyone to heaven! I AM GOD!" Mike said as he created multiple pillars that launched him and Behemoth into the air
Mike looked like he was floating in the air ridding a serpent-looking pillar that moved similar to a snake or an eel
Behemoth started to fight back, the stitches he had on his hands started to open and devour the pillars that were heading his way
"I see! You are Satan! That can only explain the horns on your head and your ability to devour my creations! This fight is meant to be fought and I am meant to stand over you!" Mike said as his creations started to become more and more aggressive by the passion of time
'What the hell is wrong with him?' Floga thought as he tried to catch up to them by flying
Behemoth closed the distance by devouring anything that popped his way with his skill but Mike didn't let him catch up to him
He backed down while also creating many numbers of stone attacks, some of the attacks were drills that spun very fast and others were blade-shaped rocks
Some attacks landed but most were devoured by Behemoth
Mike was so caught up in fighting Behemoth that didn't notice Floga flying behind him
Suddenly Floga kicked him on his back from behind, stopping his momentum and also throwing him off his senses for a bit
"You dirty bug of Satan! You returned! I must perish you!" Mike said as he sent countless amounts of pillars at Floga
"Not this time bastard!" Floga said as he created a bow and arrow out of fire
He then drew his arrow and shot at the pillars, destroying the attack coming at him
"H-How? My Godly powers were stopped by a mere bug..." Mike said devastated by the result of this attack
Behemoth managed to pass through every obstacle with his devour ability and was about to use that ability to Mike's head but he was stopped by a mountain of pillars sending him flying to the ground
"Just because I'm occupied with your bug doesn't mean I forgot about you, Satan!" Mike said with a cocky smile
"Fuck off!" Floga said before trying to kick him
But Mike had already set up many pillars before the kick could connect, Floga then had the same fate Behemoth had, he too ended up crashing on the ground but compared to Behemoth's fall Flogas's was nothing since he used his fire to soften his landing
"Who the hell are you?" Floga asked, he knew he was one of the sins but he couldn't guess who was it
"Hmm a UMP shit? Perhaps I should rethink my target!" Behemoth said as he opened up the wholes he had on his palms
At that moment Floga didn't really think or calculate anything at all it felt natural
The fire started to cover his limbs and right up to his head making his yellow and red hair rise to the shape of fire
His whole body felt easier to move like it was a flame
And before the sin could react the fire knight dashed at the sin punching it in the face
The sin raised his palm to devour him but while closing the distance Floga placed his palm under the sin's head and blasted him with a powerful beam of fire
Floga then kicked up Behemoth and the fight took off in the sky with Mike joining
It was a free-for-all
Mike was throwing drills and pillars to both Behemoth and Floga
'Dodging and fighting at the same time is hard as hell' Floga thought as he counterattacked
He threw fire arrows at Mike while blasting fire at Behemoth who was quick to devour it with his power
"My real target is you at the end of the day!" Behemoth said as he started running on top of the pillar toward Mike
He was easily able to devour every attack thrown at him
"Don't just forget about me..." Floga said as he placed his hands together
"Specialized Mana Zone: Blooming Blazing Flower"
In a radius of 100 cubic meters a huge fire explosion that burned intensively
Mike used many layers of walls to defend himself but Behemoth on the other hand was hit by the attack since he couldn't devour something that hit him from all of the angles with just his hands
Floga then flew above Behemoth and kicked him to the ground once again before following with another attack that resembled a missile attack
Floga simply tackled Behemoth to build a stupid amount of momentum while falling
The sin tried to devour Floga again with his palms but Floga used his enhanced strength to dodge the attack
While in the air Floga extended his arm and a blade of fire formed, still in the air Floga used his legs to start to spin this way creating one deadly technique
Blaze wheel
With this attack, Floga dashed toward Behemoth and sliced one of his hands clean
'What the hell happened?' The sin didn't expect a kid like him to show such power
Before he could fight back Floga sliced another hand off him, the sin then jumped back
"Incredible kid! Too bad that I haven't even shown ten percent of my power!" Behemoth said as a hole in his stomach started to open
"Now cleanse my hunger!"
A strong vacuum pulled the fire armor from Floga and slowly pulled Floga into his stomach
'He is about to devour me whole... It's over... I was a fool...' Floga thought as he was getting pulled into the void
Suddenly an incredible amount of pillars crushed the sin and in the process rescued Floga
Out of curiosity, Floga looked up only to see pillars falling from the sky like they were raindrops
'I will die if this continues... I'm not strong enough to fight people like them...' Floga thought as he quickly placed his hands together
Floga was now floating on the open ocean with his heart beating fast
"I have to go back..." Floga thought as he rushed to return to Biol
…
It was now Monday and Floga went anxiously to school, Luck showed up after a time with a bad mentality and Caroline was spending time with Destiny
"Morning guys..." Floga said of the blue
"It's unlikely for you to say good morning to us first!" Destiny said clearly surprised
"Yeah..." While brushing off that fact Floga passed a paper to Caroline
The paper said
[Meet me behind school next break]
The school bell rang and Floga was waiting behind the school for Caroline
Suddenly both Caroline, Destiny, and Luck showed up
"WHEN I SHOWED YOU THE NOTE I MEANT FOR YOU TO COME ALONE!" Floga angrily said
"What's that? Did you want to confess your love to me? Or was that note for Destiny?" Caroline teased Floga and quickly received a slap from him
After some talk Destiny and Lucked waited on the other side of the school for Caroline and Floga to stop talking
"So how is therapy going?" Destiny asked, she felt awkward asking something like that but she couldn't express her worry any other way
"I got over it... I knew it from the start anyway... I was bound to kill people, it would have been either now or later and I'm glad it was now! Plus the light spirit controlled me so I was mostly a spectator" Luck explained with an awkward smile on his face
"Floga felt bad after the operation too, he lost to Daniel in a one-on-one fight and was very upset about it, I knew he didn't like to lose but he trained super hard those last days" Destiny told Luck
"Well, why don't you try to lift him up? You are pretty good at that after all!" Luck said training to cheer up
"W-Why me?" Destiny wondered as she blushed a bit
"Floga seems open around you, he acts the same way he acted around Hope so that only indicates you are doing something good!" Luck told her with a smile
Destiny couldn't help but smile
…
"So let me get this straight... You want me and you to fight someone that has the Sinister Shard of Creation and my brother? Who I don't know his name?"
When Caroline put it in simple words the plan sounded dumb to Floga
"I told you it's someone who can devour stuff with his hands! Plus I'm asking you this because you are the only person that can help! You are strong enough to defeat Mike and your brother with my help!" Floga said
It was his first time asking Caroline for a favor
"And why wouldn't you want the others to know about this?" Caroline wondered
"Because everyone has surpassed themselves so much that it starts to piss me off! To be exact I only have myself to blame for this rage! Even after being the one that started earlier and with greater power at the end of the day Destiny and Luck contributed more to one of our most crucial missions! That's why by bringing this shard I want to prove that I am better... Or that I'm useful..." Floga said as he stared at the ground
"I will help you! Just promise me that you won't get harmed!" Caroline said as he extended her arm
"Thank you!" Floga replied while shaking Caroline's hand
The start of this agreement birthed one of the most unusual but dynamic duo
