Zhaylen's hands tightened up into fists as he stared up towards Zaroth in anger. Flames were growing from his body very mildly.

Zhaylen: You're gonna pay for what your damn demons did to me!

Hero: Zhaylen, don't!

Zhaylen: Shut it! You have no idea how it felt to be so out of control, away from the driver's seat. I'm gonna give this bastard my full power right from the start!

He'd charge up to Zaroth, popping into his Iron Flame Dragon form, growing out wings to fly. Although Zhaylen was headed his way, Zaroth hadn't moved at all and instead chose to let him come to attack.

Hero: Zhaylen, no! It's what he wants!

Zhaylen: I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! BURN IN HELL!

Zhaylen aimed his sword at Zaroth, who'd raise his index finger up, blocking the tip. Everyone else including Zhaylen was shocked.

Zaroth: Hmmm, this one is new. Either you're one of Six's new creations or you're split from someone else.

Aurora: Is he...talking to Zhaylen?

Hero: No, he's talking to Namas.

Zaroth: I pity that you put your faith in the hands of a wasted act of potential. Nevertheless, all are disposable if they not wishing to serve me.

By tapping the blade, Namas shattered apart, turning Zhaylen back to normal. Before he could fall down, Zaroth grabbed him by the shirt.

Zaroth: I know of your history, Zhaylen. Maybe if you get down on your knees and beg for your life I'll let you serve me and be an agent of chaos.

Zhaylen: Go to Hell.

Zaroth: How unsurprising you'd say that.

He'd point his finger to Zhaylen's forehead, releasing a burst of energy that shot him down like a meteor into the many dead trees behind us. Zaroth glided himself down to the bottom of the mountain he stood on. The heroes had little balls of sweat run down their faces, worrying of what would be the worst to come.

Zaroth: Now, I don't see kneeling so that must mean you're the first rebellion group I get to make an example out of.

Mera: Would it be wrong of us to retreat guys?

Yuki: Then what? He goes off and destroys everything including our son?

Yoza: Hero, what's your call? I don't want this guy to hurt our little girl.

Hero: I...I don't know!

Yuki: Use that Sixth Soul power!

Hero: I want to but something just feels off! It's like he knows what I'm capable of and just...I think he wants me to use it.

Zaroth: Come now, don't keep me waiting. I look forward to facing you all. Unless you rather say your final prayers to each other. Either way, I couldn't care less as I have no need for your prostrations now that it's clear you're rather against than with me.
