"Think you can hurt me with that weak lance?" Ethan asked as he broke Dante's lance with his own teeth.
"Well, I've never fought to win in this form," Dante commented with a smile while deflecting Ethan's punches with his bare hands.
"Ahrgt, this is getting tiresome now, how long until that energy ball drops to the ground?" Dante said as he backed away.
"More than half of my strength has been drained, that just proves my theory. I was at least several times stronger than Ethan in his base form, before Greed lent him power."
"How long can you endure my attacks?" Ethan questioned with a daring smile, appearing superior, but even his folly prevented him from recognizing what was in front of him, a man who had already lost more than half of his power was completely unscathed, but his greed prevented him from seeing that.
