Flames grew darker and darker, and then they naturally started changing their shape until all the flames settled down. A tall figure of a handsome muscular rigid man appeared before Vane's anxious eyes. The figure had long red hair let loose and flaring with the wind, his eyes dark red, and his face crept with a sinister smile, filling the surroundings with more tension.
He was holding a woman who had dark green eyes, long open black hair, she looked about 20 years old and had an exceptionally beautiful face.She was wearing a long carmel dress and looked devoid of any emotions and soul. Her emotional eyes glowing like she was dead.
Vane realised who she was in one look, Clara Milford, sister of his best friend, "You bastard, What did you do to my squad members and other civilians." An angered filled voice cut through the tension, It was Vane whose blood was boiling with anger at the person before him, He realised that everyone except Clara was dead and Clara also awaited a fate worse than death.
"Huh, something's not right" a surprised voice woke Vane from his thoughts. He looked at the man before him and his breathing became irregular 'What's wrong, Is someone targeting Ignis as well, why does he look so surprised'
Ignis shrugged, letting out an exasperated sigh. "Ahh Fuck It, Let me just burn everything," said Ignis in an annoyed tone, his expression one of amusement, with some dark lines appearing on it and his fingers shaking.
The rest of Ironbound were just catching there breathe when they heard the name said by Vane, The name Kaelen Ignis was known to every single person, Civilians knew him as a rebel terrorist, and Other organizations as the Oracle of destruction in Hellion, He has the ability to burn down entire Kingdoms with a single thought, His flame as hot as the sun, He is a natural disaster and No one could stop him from wreaking havoc when he is angered. So most higher-ups of organizations agreed to not attack Him first and would only focus on defending against him.
As they were calming their pounding hearts, Kaelen's words were a death sentence for them.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Suddenly everyone saw someone walking slowly like he owned the place. He had blonde hair, a handsome face, and was dressed as a priest, but something didn't match his priestly appearance, It was a beautiful long sword, which gave a deadly killing intent, Every Ironbound Bishop including Vane felt their eyes brighten, gentle warmth filling their hearts and their spirits rising, It was their savior, Cardinal Aurelian.
"Now, now," Aurelian's mocking voice sliced through the silence, "must we always be so... hotheaded?"
"You're the capital's Cardinal, right? I've heard bout' you," Ignis replied in an equally mocking voice with his expression getting more sinister.
An exceptionally divine aura immediately surrounded all the Ironbound members.
As the aura was still covering them everything melted, Literally from air to ground to Clara in his hand, and the fire reached Ironbound members in a blink, They were protected by Aurelian from harm, but they still felt a burning pain, their instincts yelling one thing 'run' 'run' 'run', It was not fear, It was their instincts yelling at them to run, It was a primitive instinct telling them that they're inferior to the creatures fighting and are helpless to them.
Golden aura and Crimson flames collided with both perpetrators having an expressionless face. Most pressured were the Ironbound members who were slowly burning with intense heat but they couldn't die and just endure the befalling them.
'Clara is dead, I couldn't protect her, How will I ever face him' Vane was not feeling the pain, because when emotional pains are greater we can't feel physical pain.
"You….You have also reached Divinity, It's rare for someone at your level to just be a Cardinal for a Church," Ignis's face had a thoughtful smile with his eyebrows slightly up, his tone filled with amusement and curiosity.
"Goddess is the one who made me who I am, It may sound stupid to someone like you but now I've reached a point where I cannot imagine a world without Her…..She is the reason for me to wake up excited" Aurelian replied with his eyes softening as he talked more his voice filled with devotion.
"I see, You're a Madman" Ignis replied while scratching his chin, and in a tone which it felt like he had lost all respect for Aurelian as a fellow Mythical creature.
"Say what you will, We all have different beliefs and perspectives" Aurilian replied with his usual nonchalant tone.
A huge arrow about the size of the whole street more than 1 50 meters purely made out of dark red flames came into existence out of thin air, Everything now had already been destroyed but with this arrow, all the rubble melted immediately.
Large Golden Giants came out of ground and they started carrying all the Ironbound members with gentleness to somewhere only Aurelian knows. He was planning to get rid of all the dead weight and Ignis as a true warrior let him do that. Ironbound members cooperated with Giants obediently, since they also realised the fact that they're getting in the way.
A beautiful translucent Golden armor surrounded Aurilian's body, Making him look like a Holy statue. His Longsword.was also covered in the same golden energy.
"What the intel said was that your ability is to create a Soul Giant, with strong armor and long sword of more than 6700 meters and control it with precision and speed, Which gave you the ability to cut huge mountains into half with little to No effort" said Ignis with his heartbeat getting faster, a large grin forming on his face and his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and continued "I guess you could even compress the size of that giant as well, without losing any power at all, This means that this golden energy is power of a 6,700 meters giant and you're covering your every cell with it...….COME AT ME, LET ME FEEL YOUR STRENGTH" in the end he started shouting excitedly.
Ignis could feel it, the power radiating from Aurelian. At this moment, Aurelian was the strongest physical fighter in the world with no rivals, and every second, Ignis's theory was proved right. Even air and gravity were bending near Aurelian. As a battle maniac, his excitement knew no bounds.
