Hottan's blood boiled with fury as he gazed upon Sheno. " Y-YOU BASTARD! " He shouted, looking upon the swordsman and back to the corpses of his comrades.

The red liquid that had prompted his transformation had appeared once more, however, the crimson seeped into his spine, and the white dragon had flowed into his skull. He had become one with his heritage, his muscles bulged slightly as this happened, and he got into a fighting stance.

He then remembered the flames that consumed his home when Herakles had attacked, and his rage had began to spiral at incredible speeds within him. " This the final frontier kid, I'm going to impale you with this sword and drill through your chest until I reach your back! " Sheno shouted, charging towards the warrior, only to dash upwards suddenly to throw his opponent off.

Hottan materialized a Sword in front of him and dashed away from Sheno as he dug his sword into the ground, leaving it stuck. The dragon hybrid charged towards his vulnerable opponent, only for Sheno to let go of his weapon, he went to punch Hottan, only for the blade to go right through his hand. " I HAVE TO WIN! " Sheno shouted, ignoring the pain in his fist and delivering a swift kick to his stomach, sending the man upwards.

The swordsman looked at his hand and ripped the blade out of it, he tore off a part of the Balan flag and wrapped it around his wound. Hottan dashed towards his opponent again, materializing a new sword in his palms. His descent had given the swordsman enough time to pull out his sword by grabbing it by the hilt and swinging it towards him. The drilled sword, once colliding with Hottan's sword, managed to destroy the opposing force of the draconic blade, shattering it.

" I won't let you win! I will avenge everyone who has been wronged by this world! " Sheno shouted, shoving his drilled sword into Hottan's chest, piercing through the armor and making its way through the back.

" This...is the end...he's caught me in his web..." Hottan Thought To Himself, coughing up blood onto Sheno's face blinding him.

" Heh...you really think a cheap trick is going to stop me...." Sheno said, pushing further into Hottan.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back as a magic bullet had pierced him.                        " Dammit....What is that..." Sheno grunted, only to feel the pain hit him more rapidly and frequently.

Seth continued to fire his energy bullets into Sheno's back. " He should have been killed by my first bullet! He's increased in strength since he met Telence...I'm not liking where this is going..." Seth Thought To Himself, sweating heavily.

A black mist began to seep from the wounds, creating a dark shroud around the two warriors, nobody could see what was happening on the inside of the shroud, not even Sheno Himself. " None of this matters...in a few seconds...you'll be dead...and I'll avenge my mother..." He continued, coughing up blood himself.

" I know how it feels...to feel helpless to defend the people you love..but the difference between you and me is...Jona showed me that...vengeance is never the answer..." Hottan muttered, as he saw a barrage of pink energy bullets pass right past the two.

The bullets began to draw closer to them, becoming more accurate with every beam. " It's over Sheno, you lost because you had nobody to teach you what this world has to offer..." Hottan continued, as he felt an energy bullet pierce through Sheno's skull, killing him.

The two had both fallen to the ground, in the same place, however, one laid a victor. Hottan pulled the drill out of his chest suddenly, and almost as sudden, he passed out of exhaustion.
