Yoichi sensed that small amount of the dragon's power in his body. It was as if Kenji's flas flowed into his veins in the form of pure energy.
The scales of his arms raised slightly, leaving to the fire more oxygen to burn. When the young tar opened his eyes, the flaming glow created by his arms illuminated the four walls of the large room, revealing all the wild demons.
Dozens and dozens of Komoerus fluttered around him, following geotric and regular trajectories. Frightened by the burning flas of their unexpected enemy, the bat demons screeched strongly, generating incredible chaos.
"They are activating their skills! Cover your ears!" Enatsu shouted, rembering the Komoerus' demonic power.
Shioko obeyed imdiately and shut her ears, trying to resist that chilling sound, similar to two tal plates crawling over each other.
In the middle of the room, Yoichi approached one of his burning hands to his face. The intense heat of the fire wrapped him, suddenly increasing his body temperature. As we tried to gain ti to figure out his next move, the tympans of his ears began to hurt, no longer being able to distinguish other sounds beyond the screech of enemy demons.
"Fuck this! My ears are about to explode! That's the last thing I need, how do I do it now?! How can I be sure I won't die devoured by my own flas?" the young tar thought hastily, looking at the palms of his gigantic hands.
"Screek!" Kenji shouted from his back, drawing his attention. The little dragon took shelter inside its tail, sticking its head under it and trying to resist that deafening sound.
"Yoichi! Your ears! Cover your ears!" Enatsu yelled again. His partner would not last long, and the screech generated by the Komoerus could have caused him permanent damage.
Under the incredulous eyes of Enatsu and Shioko, still lying on the ground a few ters from him, Yoichi closed his eyes and laid his flaming hands on his ears.
"No!" Shioko gulped, fearing the worst. At that instant, the gruff character of the red-haired girl suddenly disappeared, replaced by the fear of losing such a valiant comrade and loyal friend.
The dragon flas enveloped the young tar's head: his hair and the rest of his face disappeared in that blaze, which extended about a ter in height.
"Yoichiii!" Enatsu scread, running awat from his shelter and heading towards his companion. Panicking, the rchant was hit by a Komoeru on his shoulder and then again, on his leg.
Resisting the blows of his enemies, he continued to run in Yoichi's direction, hoping to still be in ti to save his life.
Suddenly, a gust of wind hit the flock of bats, slamming many of them against the wall. Nobu, immune to their skill and ultrasound, unleashed its attack on them, forcing them to stop the screeching.
Enatsu stumbled and fell to the ground, his right knee full of blood. Shioko got up, rolling in front of him and hitting two swooping Komoerus with her light arrows.
"Hey, are you okay?" the archer asked, pulling another arrow out of the magic quiver. "I... I... yes. Yoichi? Yoichi!" Enatsu stamred, straightening an arm towards his companion.
Just then, Yoichi's hands distanced detached from his face. The fla pulverized the lace on his head, but his long blonde hair gently fell over his shoulders, intact.
The eyes, the eyebrows, the lips, the cheeks: everything was in perfect order as if nothing had happened. The dragon fire, capable of burning and lting almost everything, did not affect its creator.
"What?! I can't believe it! He's fucking fine!" Enatsu gasped, his arm still stretched out towards Yoichi. The rchant opened his eyes wide, failing to hold back his astonishnt.
"I'm... I'm safe... fire cannot burn !" the young tar thought out loud, continuing to look at his hands and arms, still wrapped in flas. From the deltoid muscles to the tip of the claws, the fire burned intensely, instilling in Yoichi's body an incredible feeling of power.
"What the f..." Shioko stamred. The archer stopped for a few seconds to stretch the rope of the bow, and the luminous arrow resting on it vanished into thin air.
Yoichi made sure his Oracle was fine and, before his teammates could add anything else, took a step further. His arms opened downwards.
The Komoerus screeching continued to rumble between the rock walls of the mine, mixing with the sound of the mud dripping from the ceiling. Thanks to Yoichi's magical flas, combined with the light of Nobu, the cave was now fully visible, and the bat demons could no longer take advantage of the elent of surprise.
"C'mon, bring it on! Aaargh!" he shouted, bending his legs and inciting his enemies to attack him. The Komoerus flew in all directions, trying to distract him.
"Go away from there!" Yoichi repeated, cautiously opening his arms, raising them outwards. "What? And where should we go? You... how are you going to do it alone?" Enatsu stamred, standing beside Shioko.
"Move!" the young tar scread. As soon as he raised the tone of his voice, the intensity of the flas on his arms increased for a few seconds, as if following his state of agitation.
"Yes, yes! All right!" the rchant trembled, running towards the entrance to the tunnel. Shioko stepped back, continuing to look at her companion: the flas that enveloped his upper limbs were as strong as his anger. Although she had never witnessed such power, she quickly realized that Yoichi's emotions played a crucial role during that process.
Avoiding contesting his words, Shioko approached Enatsu, leaving Yoichi alone in the centre of the room. The young warrior's arms reached shoulder height. His hands open outwards, and his back straightened.
Five Komoerus, diverting from their geotric trajectories, launched an attack, flying towards Yoichi from different directions. So of them attacked from above, swooping from the vaults of the cave; others attacked from below, flying a few inches away from the ground.
