Esme: "What are you... doing here?"

Winged: "Isn't the question supposed to be... '𝙒𝙝𝙊 𝙖𝙍𝙚 𝙔𝙤𝙐?'"

[ 𝙋𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙬𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙏𝙎 ]

Esme: "Why did you... kill her?"

Winged: "My job is supposed to be a... 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳. And I love killing teenage girls.

"Don't you think it's fun?"

Esme: "I DON'T THINK SO!"

Esme charges at Winged, his sword glowing red with a powerful aura.

[ 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐐𝐔𝐄! ]

Before Esme could land his technique, Winged shatters his blade with his bare hands.

Winged: "Not bad... your technique seems impressive. But I don't think this is your full potential or your true technique."

Esme grits his teeth, struggling against the overwhelming force.

Winged: "If you don't understand what true power means... I'll show you."

Winged begins to levitate, arms outstretched as the air around him crackles with energy.

Esme's heartbeat races, sweat pouring down his face.

Winged opens his mouth, revealing a series of intricate hand signs swirling within, as if Esme is being drawn into his mouth. The darkness brightens, revealing a gruesome scene - the floor covered in blood, disembodied hands floating in the air, and a glowing purple hue.

Winged: "This is my 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳-𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮. Do you understand now what true potential means?"

Esme's eyes widen in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the twisted supernatural reality before him.

Winged: "In simpler terms, you're inside my body-my mouth."

Esme glances up, realizing they are surrounded by enormous teeth. The ground beneath them shifts and starts to move.

Winged: "Don't worry. I'm just letting you know that we're standing on my tongue."

He grins wickedly.

Winged: "𝘔𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭, 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘹𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘢, 𝘴𝘰𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Esme clenches his fists, determination flaring in his eyes.

Esme: "I don't care what kind of monster you are or what powers you have. I am the King of the Heavenlys, and I will teach you a lesson!"
