Intense pain flooded his body making him regret his decision, but he pushed through it and focused on controlling his flames.
Surprisingly the pain did not hinder his senses anymore but strengthened them, pushing his mind beyond what it was normally capable into a state of absolute clarity.
The movement of the flesh, the reshaping blood, the tentacles coming from the creature inside of the ship surrounding him, and their slimy ends filled with weird blue blood and oil.
It all was visible to him in an unnatural and clean way.
His flames listened to his command and pushed themselves first into the tentacles that touched his cheek, burning it as it trembled and resisted and with it also burning small blood-red vessels that began to drill into his skin and flesh.
Having no choice the tentacle began to trash and others coming from the abomination before him began to surround him just to be stopped by the surging heat of red and yellow flames.
They twisted around him and wanted to come closer but under Hildebrant's control, the raging flames stopped burning everything around him and concentrated themselves around his body. The heat before uncomfortable became several times worse but watching the flames doing exactly what he wanted brought a smile to Hildebrant's face.
Tentacles no longer could approach, burning the moment they touched the barrier created from pure flames, and then with a smile still on his face multiple flaming tentacles sprouted out of his barrier and attached themselves to the tentacles surrounding him.
Upon touch they immediately went inside of flesh, evaporating it from inside and making the blood bubble but feeling strong residence coming from the being he knew it was not the end, but it didn't matter.
As the armor on his body melted and his skin started to become red from the pure amount of flames escaping his pores he listened to flesh being sliced and with each second the sound became cleaner until a wall of flesh with multiple eyes staring at him and mouth saying something was parted by a clean slice of Jian.
With a terrible scream coming from the numerous mouths David walked out entirely from blue and red blood.
He looked like a demon; his eyes were wide open and without blinking his hand holding Jian moved with deathly precision cutting flesh, skin, and bones standing in his way without any emotions.
At that moment he was a pure killing machine, slashing and hacking with such speed Hildebrant had a hard time observing him as David flickered amidst the ever-growing flesh with unnaturally perfect movement that gave no meaning.
Opening his mouth David was prepared to say something but then with a quick change in his facial movements, he dodged on the side before sharp crimson spikes created from blood impaled his body.
They then restlessly followed him and multiplied giving him no time to breathe.
David was able to block most of them but one got through his unhuman swordplay and sliced part of his skin on his face.
It immediately turned crimson with blood-red vessels pulsing and growing with terrifying speed but even when half of his face was covered by pulsing crimson color his hand didn't stop moving and his body never lost its composure.
Waking up Hildebrant with a ferocious expression took a step closer and one of the flaming tentacles shot to David and flowed into blood red vessel on his face and burned it down while David's face for the first time twisted in pain.
Hildebrant didn't care and pushed his flame deeper destroying every last one of them before wanting to rush closer but then the tentacle that before was unable to get close to him shot past his flames, enduring heat and ramming into his body.
Flames around him screamed and air kept evaporating as he crashed into one of the sharp rocks that began to melt almost right after he fell on it. White shore also bubbled but white sand never changed its color even after his flames bombarded it with unusual heat.
"Why can't you all stay still?!"
Mouth opened on tentacle and eyes opened right after staring at Hildebrant with confusion and hate.
"I just want you to be safe!"
It screamed and then he noticed the flesh of other tentacles being retracted into abomination and poured and compressed into the tentacle before him. Such control was something new to him and alien but also intriguing.
Knowing the flames around him would do nothing when dispersed to such an extent, he compressed them even more. The heat intensified and his body screamed in pain but he endured before the tentacle again fell on his body, passing through the harrowing heat that ate even him alive.
"Enough! You will destroy yourself!"
His bones rattled as he pushed himself up and released his flames. As they disappeared back into his body, his figure was revealed.
His skin was red, exposing his flesh. His armor was half melted and destroyed, but it still held on. Some parts were grown into his flesh, but his face didn't show how much pain he felt. All it showed was a smile that hid his uneasy heart and desire to survive as a white saber materialized into his hand.
