"Torture me? Until I die?" Riser scoffed angrily, taking a step forward. "Right until the end, you continue to be an arrogant and crass lowlife."
Riser took another step forward. "I told you already. I cannot die!" He declared. "Nothing you do or say will change that. My flames will never die out!"
Suk-chin said nothing. He merely stared Riser down as the devil continued to approach him.
"I'll torch you until there's nothing left." Riser seethed. "And then I'll move on to all those worms behind you."
When Suk-chin still had nothing to say to him, Riser snarled.
"And now what? You think you're too good to speak to me? After mouthing off to me all this time!?" His fiery wings erupted behind him, and he launched himself at Suk-chin.
"I'll make you regret ever daring to disrespect me!" Riser swung his fist at Suk-chin's face.
Riser's fist rapidly approached. But at the very last moment, Suk-chin tilted his head to the side, avoiding the attack.
"Wow," Suk-chin spoke calmly, a small smile growing on his face.
"You're fucking slow."
Riser's face filled with fury, and he swung at Suk-chin again.
But Suk-chin moved his head out of the way again. Riser threw blow after blow, yet none hit their mark. Suk-chin continued to dodge them easily, barely moving as the fists flew past him.
"Shit, I'm in serious danger here." Suk-chin said, still dodging.
Riser lifted his foot off the ground and tried kicking Suk-chin in the head.
Suk-chin caught Riser by the ankle.
"I might die of old age waiting for your attacks to reach me."
His aura is completely different.
Riser struggled to break his leg out of the vice-like grip but was unable to free himself.
"What a cute leg." A dark smile appeared on Suk-chin's face as he twisted Riser's leg, before brutally tearing it off. "I think I'll keep it instead."
Riser howled in pain, stumbling back on his remaining leg.
Nobody still on the field was able to say anything. They didn't even know what to say.
But they were all feeling and thinking the same thing.
That something terribly wrong was going on here.
Was the person standing before them right now...
Riser grit his teeth as his leg regrew. "You bastard. I'll-"
"You're so loud."
Suk-chin swung his open hand down on Riser's skull, like a sword.
Even the same person as before?
"And it's pissing me off."
Suk-chin's hand cut right through Riser's head. It continued downwards until it connected with the ground, creating a massive crater to form.
Everyone stared in horror and disgust as Riser's body had been cleaved cleanly in two. Both halves fell in opposite directions, unmoving.
"It's the first time since this bullshit started that I can enjoy some peace and quiet." Suk-chin said, leaning back. He appeared completely and utterly unfazed by the violence he had just dished out.
He looked down at his own body. "That fucking tracksuit cost me some hard-earned money, so I expect to be properly compensated for it."
The two pieces of Riser's body burst into flames on the cut side. They floated back up and fused together.
