Dismount of the King, Uprising of the Rebel
In a lone empty room that had very little light coming in, fully decorated to fit that of a royalty and having a structure that was similar to a cave, sat a man that was known for possessing great power, being recognized throughout all of Earth Land as one of, if not the strongest, powerful Dragon Slayers to be born within this generation. Genghis Breningoch, more commonly known as the Dragon Slayer King, sat atop a throne that appeared to be made of an ivory material, greatly resembling that bones of the deceased. However what was peculiar was the bored expression that Genghis had on his face. With his chin resting within his left palm and his eyes closed as though he was sleeping, it was very clear that Genghis found the current situation that he was in to be very tedious. Briefly opening his eyes to reveal his cold amber eyes, he looked out one of the makeshift windows to see that it was nighttime, his least favorite time of the day. It was the time where he was unable to draw on his source of power, which would be heat, without having to worry about how much power his opponent has. Closing his eyes once more, he let out a sigh as he let out a silent plead for something, anything, to happen right now.

Luckily, or unluckily depending on who you ask, his call was answered in the form of Jadis Lissandra, one of the many members that happened to join his guild, as she busted through the door and ran up to Genghis, stopping directly in front of him. "Crow, are you asleep? I have something important to tell you, so wake up please!" the small blue-nette said in a happy-go-lucky voice, completely ignoring the dark atmosphere. A small smile sneaked its way onto Genghis' face as he opened his eyes once more and looked down at Jadis who was looking up at him with a cute smile. Such thing was why she was able to bring joy to the guild and was under the protection of nearly every single guild mate. Though he would never reveal such a thing to anyone but he actually views her as his actually daughter, wanting to protect her from harm, mostly boys that want to date her, but harm nonetheless. The last time he felt something like this was when he fist met Attila, his brother in bond. "What is it that you needed to tell me?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow as he masked his true thoughts.

Jades put on a thinking face as she tried to recall what exactly she wanted to tell him. She knew it was very important as she remembered that Annis told her it was something that Genghis, or Crow as she preferred to call him, was looking forward to. If she was correct, it had something to do with a battl-"Oh, I remember what it was! Annie told me that she information about your large battle thingie or whatever it is called." Jades said as she began to look around. Genghis' small smile turned into a full-blown grin at hearing those words, his boredom was finally about to come to an end if the information he was about to receive was exactly what he though it was. "Yeah, she said that some Damon guy won his battle and was on his way to come fight you." she continued as she was now focused on making a crystal of ice. If she had looked at Genghis, she would have jumped in shock at the bloodthirsty grin that was on his face. Getting up, he walked toward the door, ruffling Jadis' hair as he passed her, with one thought on his mind. "Oh, this is gonna be fun" Genghis said to himself as his eyes glowed a brilliant crimson, reflecting on his excitement.

As Genghis walked through the corridor with adrenaline pumping in his veins, surging throughout his entire body, as two figures suddenly sprang to his side though he did not react. The first figure came from the windows in the form of a fierce wind while the other came from seemingly nowhere in the form of a wispy shadow as both the figures revealed themselves to be two tall men, towering over Genghis himself as they walked beside him. The one on his left who had formed from the shadow possessed shaggy black hair, wore an rather casual outfit with fingerless gloves, and had a rather handsome face. This was Butch Magnus, one of the three Dragon Knights that Genghis had appointed within his guild, as he had a vicious smile plastered on his face. "Come on, Boss. Let me fight in your place!" He said as he left out a very strange laugh similar to that of a hyena.

The figure on his right that had formed from the gust of strong wind was even taller than Butch and wore a rather interesting choice of attire as it consisted of a large pink feather coat with an open white shirt, pink pants with various strips and simple dress shoes. He walked in a bizarre way and had a large smile on his face that even the simplest of people could tell held malefic intentions behind it. This man was Riku Tsuchi, or the Celestial Bane as he was commonly known throughout the criminal community, as he looked at Genghis as well and said. "Genghis, you should leave this to me. This short bitch over here is no fun" Riku let out a loud laugh that would send anyone running for the hills if they heard it as he teased Butch. Genghis didn't say anything as he was used to their banter by now. It was entertaining to see at times. Butch did not share that feeling however as he quickly moved to deliver a powerful kick towards Riku's stomach, though it was stopped as the kick was blocked with the simple raise of a knee.

The two stopped walking while Genghis continued forward, not bothering to look back. "Don't worry about it, you two. You guys have more important things to do...." He said as he made it to the door that left to the outside. "Plus I've been waiting for this for a long time. This urge that I am feeling is something that few people have made me feel. I don't want anyone to get in the way of battle, do you two understand?" He finished, not even bothering to turn around and see their response. They knew better than to stand between him and whatever he considered his goal. The last person that attempted to try such a thing was incinerated into ash and kept in the guild bar with Razia. As Genghis opened the door, he said one last thing, in the form of a whisper. "Alright, Damon D. Draco. Let's see why Dealok has put so much interest into you, shall we?" As he walked through the door and closed with a large bang for he was ready for this battle that was coming his way.

When Genghis walked through the door, he was saw something interesting. Numerous bodies of wounded people on the snowy ground, Fiore was in its winter season and the country was blanketed by it. Although some didn't like it they had to live with it; the day that winter began were the days the Dragon Slayer Royale began. Flakes and flakes of snow descended from the skies to the ground, creating blankets of snow. It was night and luckily it was an calm one as no storms or so appeared which meant some Dragon Soul newbies wouldn't need to clean the white blanket. Jadis was probably the one who most enjoyed the snowy days, Riku liked cold breezes as well though not much as the young girl; Cyrus hated it the most although he didn't say it out aloud in order to not offend Jadis. Because of this he would stay in the guild's hall for the entire night, luckily during day-time the sky wouldn’t be clouded as it is now.

There in the snowy garden which Genghis had reached stood an tall man wearing an black large coat, probably to protect himself from the cold. The coat also had various yellow-colored smiles printed on its entirety; he also had an white thick bill hat with several brown marks on it, black boots which incredibly wouldn't make any sound and carried an long black sheath with an sword inside it. Lying on the ground were several bodies of Genghis' henchmen or Dragon Soul newbies in other words. Some of the snow was red due to their blood as they were barely conscious and still muttering words; there were probably around fifteen men and some women. The man near their bodies looked at the opened door's direction as his hat covered his eyes slightly with shadows "I have finally reached the king." He said with a visible smirk in his face as the cold breezes constantly hit his coat.

Readjusting his jacket, he began to walk forward to meet his opponent as heat began to roll of his body, the snow on the ground around him melting from the warmth as it revealed the verdant grass that was usually reserved for the springtime. He walked over the bodies that littered the ground, showing little to no care for his fallen comrades who were moaning in pain. If he was to be completely honest he thought of his lesser allies as nothing but pawns, being meant to be thrown away and used in whatever way that he deemed to be necessary for his cause. He stopped a few feet in front of the man, as he lightly kicked one of the bodies on the ground, hearing a groan of pain from said body. "I have to say this is some impressive work." Genghis said as he looked around, letting out a whistle in admiration at the work of the man. "So I am guessing that you are my opponent, Damon D. Draco right?" he continued to speak as he stretched his left arm, rotating it in circles. "I've heard a great deal about you. The hybrid dragon and the first escapee of Crimson World. One of my guild mates is even interested in you, though I don't understand why myself."

The now identified Damon watched on as Genghis approached him, striding over those that were considered his comrades. The Shadow Slayer frowned slightly as he had heard that despite his arrogant nature, Genghis actually cared for his fellow warriors. Apparently though, that was not true as he watched Genghis lightly kick one of his fallen comrades, a groaning sound being heard as the body, which upon closer inspection he noticed it was a young woman, and the sound of cough as well as the smell of fresh blood. He really did not want to harm the people but they started the fight and therefore they only had themselves to blame for the situation that they were in. He quickly payed attention to his would-be opponent upon hearing him start to speak. When Genghis began to stretch his left arm, Damon raised his as well, thinking that he was going to be greeted by his foe. However, he stopped when he saw that the Heat Dragon Slayer was simply stretching his arm, waving it in circles while going on about how one of his comrades had an interest in him.

"Oh, the old man. I bet you are wondering why he never returned to you? "Damon said as stood still, with his left hand grasping his artifact-weapon and his right hand inside the coat of his pocket. "However, you never did answer my former question about who you were expecting, Mr. Genghis." He finished as he looked around, fixing his eyes for a brief moment on one of Genghis' fallen comrades bodies. Quickly returning to his attention back on his foe to distract himself from the sight, he began to feel something deep within himself. A feeling that was reserved for the strongest of opponents. The feeling of excitement, the desire to fight. However despite his excitement, Damon knew there was no need to charge right in, that would be improper. The two needed to have a brief talk at the very least and he felt that Genghis shared such a thought with him, feeling the importance of going through such a task.

Genghis gave a shrug as he stopped stretching as well as messing with the wounded female's body after witnessing her cough up some blood. While he might be an asshole as some might put it, that didn't mean he was entirely heartless. "Well regarding the old man, I can't really say that I care if he returns or not. He can take care of himself and has this creepy vibe to him. Like he has something bigger planned." Genghis said in an offhanded manner, though there was some truth in his words. He truly did believe that Dealok was quite creepy and he had some alliterative motive but as long as it did not get in the way of his plan, he would pay no attention to it. "As for your original question, I don't really know who I was expecting. Perhaps I though you were a Dragon Slayer who wanted to join my cause or maybe I though that you were a powerful mage that could control the power of the sun while covering the world in infinite darkness. It's really hard to say." He finished with a shrug of his shoulders as he briefly swung his right foot forward, melting the snow that was in its trajectory.

"From what I've heard about you, they say that you can control heat by itself. I thought that you would perhaps be a ." Damon said, breathing heavily in the air as it had an noticeable white color due to the cold which Damon enjoyed. "I'm not really looking to join you and your guild. I just want to have a worthy battle and gain this title before I die." He said as though it was like he was making a comment about the weather. Damon glanced at the guild house that was behind Genghis, which he now only realized was a giant skull that resembled that of a Dragon, and saw that there was various children looking at them from the windows. That brought up a something that he heard when traveling the lands. Apparently, Genghis only accepted people who were Dragon Slayers, usually first and third generation Slayers only. Damon personally had his doubts when it came to the rumors but he would not ask and if it turned out to be true, he would reserve his judgement.

Genghis sighed in disappointment at hearing Damon's response to his offer though he was expecting such an answer from Damon. He remember Dealok often telling him that Damon would never join the guild as he would see their cause, as how he put it, "barbaric and plain stupid". Still it didn't hurt to try and get lucky maybe. "Well dang, can't say that I am surprised." Genghis said in a honest yet sarcastic tone as he clapped his hands together. "Well then, I think that we have talked for long enough don't you? I'd rather get my blood pumping and I am very eager to fight you." He continued as he let a large grin spread across his face. He was barely containing himself as he was now. If they continued to simply talk, it wouldn't be long before he snapped and tried to attack him. That would just be rude, especially for a king of so many. He needed to set an good example, well a somewhat good example, for his people.

Damon could feel the killing intent that Genghis was trying to suppress, as it was pratically covering the area around them despite being attempted to be subdued. Damon himself could feel a large grin imprint on his face. The talk could end for now, Damon though to himself as he could tell that Genghis might snap and just attack him if they stalled any longer. "Well then!" Damon suddenly shouted as he began to kicked of the ground wit his left leg, sending him flying back a few feet without taking his eyes off of Genghis. As he landed, he shifted his stance as he now held the artifact more like a weapon with his left hand while pointing at Genghis with his right hand. "Shall we begin this battle, King Khan?" Damon said in slightly mocking tone as his right hand began to shine slightly, signifying that he was prepared to start this battle at last. While he had no clue what his foe would do now, that didn't mean that he would back down and in the end the best warrior will come out on top, becoming the new Dragon Slayer King.

Genghis let a ferocious grin spread across his face, one could describe it as blood-thirsty if they stared at his face for long enough. That expression of delight signifying that he was ready to begin this battle, to clash against a powerful foe. He had waited so long to fight someone that could actually challenge him, push him to the edge and force him to reveal his true power, a feat that he hasn't done in so long that it felt like ages ago. Nevertheless, he was ready to begin this fight and what a fight it would be. "King Khan, eh? I've gotta admit, I kinda like the sound of that." Genghis said as he actually pondered on the newly bestowed moniker before quickly focusing his mind bak on the task at hand. "Well then, let us begin this bloody and glorious battle! This will be told for generations as one of the most impressive Dragon Slayer Royale battles in history!" He proclaimed loudly as he unleashed a large amount of heat from his feet as they acted as propellers, sending him dashing towards Damon at an incredibly fast rate with the same grin still on his face and his fist drawn back.

World-Destorying Heat and Tenebrous Flames
Damon heard how Genghis responded with immense attention and became proud of the words spoken by his own opponent. "If you will allow me, Sir Genghis. Let me be your opponent in this battle. Let's fight until dawn!" Damon shouted with great honesty as his opponent was charging at him with great speed. "A battle so ferocious that the very earth itself will never forget what occurred!" He finished as he saw that the impact of the attack was going to be large. Throwing his artifact backwards in a spinning motion while putting his hands on the ground as one of his hands took hold of one of the bodies of Genghis' comrades and the other was simply placed on the cold ground. With great power, he threw the barely-alive body towards Genghis in a fast manner as he sat back, preparing to see how his opponent would react.

Genghis let out a brief snort at the sight of the incoming body which was traveling toward him at surprising speeds. Thinking nothing of it as the body was few feet of hitting him, he decided to react in the simplest way possible: by backhanding the projectile of a body away from him as its trajectory quickly changed to whee it crashed into a nearby boulder. The person was most likely dead or had sever back pain and a bruised after going through that. Either way, it was not his problem. Deciding to start off simple to this match, Genghis cut the heat energy that was being released out of his feet and took a deep breath, drawing the air around him while channeling a considerable amount of heat into his mouth. As his cheeks bulged from the result of doing so, Genghis opened his mouth and proudly proclaimed. "Vermillion Dragon's Roar!" From the moment he said that, a thin laser of vermillion-colored was unleashed from his mouth, traveling towards Damon at an immensely high rate as the snow below it began to melt at significantly fast.

Damon continued with the grin on his face as he kept his right hand on the ground and moved his left arm in a swing quickly in the air as the scorching heat from Genghis' roar could already be felt. With that movement, Damon disappeared from where he was and the body which was launched previously appeared on his place. Damon would then appear on the wall the body was as Genghis' roar was about to ultimately kill his comrade. However Damon did not do the teleport after the body hit the wall, he did it when the body was inches away from hitting it. Then Damon used his stretchability to bounce on the wall and dash towards Genghis with immense speed. "Shadow Dragon's Roar" Damon shouted as he launched a powerful burst of shadows from his mouth, as it towards Genghis who would probaly be busy with his on-going roar.

Seeing that Damon was able to dodge his previous attack and charge toward him even retaliating with his own Roar attack, Genghis quickly aimed his roar at the ground as he added more power to the attack, causing him to be launched into the air and letting him dodge the incoming attack. Reacting quickly, he forced his heat energy into the sole of his feet which allowed him to stay afloat in the air. Looking down at Damon, Genghis silently began to think on his next move. Preforming a roar would just result in the same thing occurring except that he might actually be hit the next time. Going over multiple plans in his mind at a fast rate, he stopped when he came to one that might work if he executed it properly. Acting quickly, Genghis formed an orb of concentrated heat in his right hand and quickly launched a myriad of bullet-shaped projectiles that traveled down towards Damon at an accelerated rate.

Damon kept his smirk as he stopped his roar after Genghis succesfully dodged it with skill "Smart and fast" Damon thought as Genghis' own roar made him fly high over in the midair. Damon kept his pose as Genghis quickly concentrated heat in his hand and launched various bullets out of heat towards him as they travelled at an amazing speed. Damon raised his left hand forward as he too raised his right hand, shadows formed around the two limbs as it started to mold into a large wall. The wall or shield had flames on it's borders, this was Damon's defense spell "Shadow Flame Dragon's Dome" He shout as the bullets hit his defense nearly passing through it. Damon on the inside side of the wall saw as the bullets stopped near him, one near at his chest as he held an calm expression although the heat could be felt.

At the same time though, Damon did something else while hidden by the shadow wall. Inflating his cheeks slighty while increasing the hardness of the flames which he just produced, Damon fired it in a concentrated beam towards his left hand which had an separated part of the dome. He started to shape his dome around the scorching flames while his right hand still kept the Dome-Wall active, Damon then completely shaped the dome in his left hand as an black sphere around the flames which were bright enough to be seen through it. Some flames were strong enough to flow out of the black sphere as Damon held it tight, trying to not let it escape or the balance be broken as he waited for Genghis' move.

Genghis rose an eybrow at the clever yet strange move that Damon managed to pull of. "How interesting. I wonder what he will do with such a combination?" He though briefly before focusing once more. Cutting off the flow of heat energy to his feet, Genghis fell to the ground, making a large impact when he landed and showed no sign of being fazed by said drop. Holding his left hand at his side, he manipulate his heat energy as he began to shaped and condensed it using his magic and will. Eventually he got what he desired in the form of a broadsword made entirely out of fire, the flames crackling as though it was burning wood. While he wished that had brought his own sword Dyrnwyn, this would have to do for the time being. Dashing forward great celerity, Genghis appeared in front of Damon in little time and performed a rising diagonal slash with his makeshift sword towards the left side of his opponent's body with both hands.

Damon kept his collected expression as Genghis quickly approached him while holding an heat-made broadsword. Keeping his grin Damon waited as Genghis dashed towards him with incredible speed and as the Vermillion Slayer brought his sword in a swinging motion, Damon only swung his right arm to his right. Genghis was near to cutting Damon in two but the shadow slayer somehow managed to avoid it, how? He disappeared again from where he was as an pile of snow appeared where he was. Damon didn't deactivate the Dominion therefore he could still use it, firstly he embued some of the falling flakes with his eternano and used it to switch places, if he didn't embue the eternano he wouldn't be capable of executing the switch as the flakes were little in size.

Damon reappeared at the same time at Genghis' back, the latter had just executed an slash which missed and Damon still holded his black flaming orb although his shield disappeared since he used his right hand to do the switching. Damon made the sphere stood in his hand while spinning as he took chance Genghis' arm would be inclinated forwards. The Hybrid Slayer would now aim at Genghis' north-west part of his back, since his arm was perfoming an slash it therefore "moved" slightly the bone protecting Genghis' back as Damon was about to hit it with his powerful combination spell.

Acting quickly, Genghis released his left hand as he continued to swing his right arm as he bended his arm in such a way that the sword to end up the path of the attack that was headed his way. This allowed him to somewhat block the attack though he did still suffer some damage due to blocking it in an unorthodox manner, being pushed back slightly. "That was pretty creative move that you did there. however....." Genghis commented as he twisted his body towards Damon as he spun one foot and held his sword out using his right hand with the intention of cutting his foe in half. "I'm not out just yet!"

Damon happily grinned at Genghis, calling out in an excited voice, "You truly are the worthy of being King." Seeing that his foe was able to quickly recover and turn himself in order to slash through him, Damon clenched his teeth as he was about to be severed in two by the incoming heat sword. Having little option, the Hybrid Dragon did the only thing that he could do in order to suffer little damage as possible. It is easy to manipulate the elemental dome in any way that he wanted and in this situation, he remembered that it was easier to shift the dome back into its original wall-shield hybrid form. Genghis's sword didn't have enough power to break through the dome and therefore, he could still use it.

However even if he were to do that, the dome would be less thicker and the sword would be able to slice through the defense and even himself in the process of it all. A great idea crossed his mind in an instant; using his skilled manipulation, Damon shaped the sphere into a more brick-like form as he moved it into the path of Genghis' makeshift sword, hoping that the collision would stop the blade though his hand would possibly be damage no matter what. Even if the dome wouldn't do anything, Damon had a plan for that as he raised his left leg in a swing motion similar to a kick towards Genghis' sword arm in order to deflect the blow or interrupt it.

Seeing that Damon was about to try and deflect his attack using a kick of some sorts, Genghis retaliated by moving his left hand, moving it under his right armpit and using his palm to put in the the trajectory of Damon's incoming kick, therefore allowing him to block said attack and allow his sword-swing to continue uninterrupted. Continue the path of his attack, Genghis decided to kick it up to eleven by increasing the heat of the sword, causing the blade to become significantly in size, and the sword would eventually collided with the brick-shaped shadow flame that Damon molded, intending on cutting through it like a hot knife through butter ironically.

Damon kept his grin as Genghis still attempted to cut him with the heat-made broadsword, as he saw the heat slayer stopped his kick, Damon thought of something else. Damon increased the size and power of the dome as he tried to cover the heat sword almost completely, then by producing and covering his hand with shadows he would use brute force to stop the sword although he was feeling the heat and blood dropped from his palm. Damon analyzed everything quickly, Genghis had his two arms busy and couldn't do much with his right leg, therefore only the left leg was a problem.

Damon quickly stretched and tried to surround Genghis' left leg with his own extended right leg, closing it while expecting Genghis to be trapped. Using Pyro's Essence, he was capable of creating the upper torso of an clone of himself who would now try to grab Genghis' right leg. While doing it prepared an powerful punch as his arm trembled and he aimed it right at Genghis' face, the latter would probaly be distracted with his two arms busy and his two legs about to be captured.

Genghis, seeing that multiple attacks were coming at him towards at an incredibly speed, and there was practically no way that he could possibly dodge said attacks without getting hurt himself. Unless he were to activate that.. A smile stretched across his face as he looked Damon dead in the eyes. "I didn't expect to have to use this so soon. But you have forced me to do so and I applaud you for doing so." Genghis thought as the fist was coming closer and closer towards his face as well as his legs were about to be restricted. "I must apologize for not taking you seriously earlier but now, I shall treat you like a fellow king, instead of a commoner." Finishing his thoughts, Genghis closed his eyes despite everything coming his way and breathed. He could see nothing but he was able to feel. He could feel the heat now flowing through his veins, the burning sensation as it traveled throughout his entire body.

Snapping his eyes open after the heat finished flowing through his very being, Genghis let out a roar as his entire body was set ablaze, becoming wrapped in vermillion-colored flames and unleashing wisp of heat from his back. This was his Vermillion Drive, one of his four unique modes that he had access to as well as the most used due to its versatility. Looking around, he was able to see the world around him in a way that everything was moving slow to him. Acting quickly, he pushed the leg that he had blocked with his left hand downward, allowing him to be relieved of that problem. Looking down at the clone that was going for his legs, Genghis decided to go about this a simple way. Dispelling the heat sword that he previously created, he jumped slightly enough to bring his knees to his chest, making the clone miss his legs, and performed a double kick towards Damon's chest with the intention of sending him flying away, gaining some distance between him and his foe.

Even though it was very fast, Damon could still see Genghis' body begin to envelop itself in pure heat in a blink of an eye. Damon clenched his teeth as suddenly the heat sword disappeared, he couldn't also feel Genghis' palm restricting his leg anymore. Genghis had suddenly now raised both his legs while enveloped in heat in a very quick pace which Damon couldn't keep with up in the situation he was. His clone had missed in catching Genghis' leg but that wasn't the end for him, Damon made the clone wield an fire-molded spear and made the lower half of the clone emerge from the snow as it had an Shadow Dragon's Claw. Both parts of the clone prepared to hit Genghis' back whose feet were about to violently hit Damon who tried to at least decrease some of the damage by covering his torso in hardened shadows.

Damon was kicked brutally in his stomach by Genghis' strong & fast double kick which was enough to lift him up from the ground because of the impact that was also enough to make an powerful shockwave spread through the area. The shockwave sent some boulders of rock flying away in some directions as the kick was enough to make Damon vomit the shadows protecting his stomach, an action resulting in an not-so powerful Shadow Dragon's Roar which would now blind Genghis if he was hit. Damon was sent flying due to the kick and also due to the stream of shadows and blood he had coughed, he flew directly to the lake near the area as his clone was trying to attack Genghis' back which would be uncovered now. Some kids back in the building would mutter either incredible or awesome at the scene although they barely saw it completely.

After kicking his foe in the chest, Genghis was able to sense something coming at him from behind thanks to his newly enhanced awareness granted to him by his Drive. Turning his head slightly to the left as a way to look behind him, he was able to see another Damon was coming behind him, already in mid-thrust as he held a spear of fire in his hands. Still in mid-jump himself, Genghis arced his back with surprising amounts of flexibly and was able to add more distance between that area and the incoming weapon. He did not stop there however as he twisted his torso to where his entire body flipped and he was now facing the second Damon. Forcing his heat into his feet, Genghis propelled himself towards the clone, holding his left arm out as he prepared to clothesline the clone, ready to take its entire head off with a single swipe.

The original Damon had prepared an Dual Dome already, encasing it around his scorching and bright flames which in case produced another one of those combinations. He saw as Genghis had perceived the threats willing to hit his back with an mighty spear and an powerful slash, the heat slayer used his flexible body and agility in order to increase the distance between them. Creating an fire long-sword in his hands, Damon pierced the Ball-Dome with it as Genghis had twisted his torso to probably counter-attack the clone. Damon by holding his combination in the sword part threw it in a spiralling motion towards Genghis in a very amazing speed as he finally landed himself on the lake making water splash.

Clotheslining the clone with incredible force thanks to the momentum that was granted by the heat thrusters, he was able to slam his forearm into the clone and snap its neck, causing it to dispel in a burst of fire. Quickly cutting off the flow of heat towards his feet, Genghis shifted his center thus allowing him to flip himself onto his feet and land. Looking in the direction that he recalled sending Damon towards, he saw an incoming flaming projectile. Not wanting to go through the process of dodging the attack, Genghis took a deep breath as he gathered both the air and heat around him before closing it. Quickly reopening his mouth, Genghis unleashed as enormous vermillion-colored blast of heat from his mouth towards Damon. As the traveled forth, it collided with the flaming projectile as it absorbed it into the attack.

Damon quickly raised and jumped out of the water as he did not like it too much as normal people would, only to drink of course. So apparently, Genghis roar was so powerful and so scorching it could devour other sources of thermal energy, Damon's eyes shone for a second as he was full of amazement. He grinned in ecstasy as it only devoured heat, therefore his shadows were still there and with effort he could still manipulate them, it was still his dome after all only without the flame defense-resistance. He took control of it, making it shapeshift into a large wall of shadows in order to intercept further passage of the vermillion roar, however there was a part of the roar which had passed before the wall was brought up. The wall however wasn't much resistant to heat-based attacks now.

Said part of the roar which passed is meant to be an now uncontrolled part, flying towards the lake's direction. Then at the same time an figure could be seen emerging from out of the waters, one in Genghis' position wouldn't notice with eyesight or so, this figure is the Original Damon who had his left hand engulfed in obscure shadows and scorching flames. The uncontrolled roar flew at him as it moved faster than the normal since it was decontrolled and could travel easier through the air, it was an guessing and high possible thing that Genghis shouldn't be capable of controlling this part of the roar given it was took of his own control "range".

Time would literally stop as Damon mentally explained the situation "Given it's faster now I could say it's uncontrolable now, which could mean he keeps his roar or should I say he gives an limit to the speed in which heat would go out of his mouth. If he didn't, it would go out violently possibly hurting him and wasting too much magical energy than originally intended, so, that's why he would supposedly give it a limit" Time continued on normally after Damon's own reasoning of if Genghis really does it. "That's it, I have to try this" Damon though to himself with a wide grin printed on his face, he quickly moved his left arm towards the upcoming part of the roar in order to slap it. Yes, Damon was gonna slap it with an palm engulfed with hardened shadows and powerful flames, why? It wasn't just an slap, it triggered two things. First, with it he would use his Flame Dragon's Sense as he had dominion acivated in order to send an wave of heat through the area or air likely to scan things. Second, due to the arm-motion he had done or in other words an swing, he would activate one of Dominion's effects and switch his own place with eternano embued flakes of snow which were located right at the back-side of the uncontrolled roar.

For the heat of wave, Damon had given it an boost enough to influentiate nearby heat-particles and make them follow the course of Damon's wave. With force and this heat influence part, Damon sent the roar in Genghis's direction, accurately in the air at the angle of 45º. The Shadow-Switching is faster than the Flame's Sense therefore putting Damon in the course the roar would now take, however he would use the uncontrolled roar as a boos-rocket as it instantly hit his feet sending him in an very insane speed right to the area above Genghis. However, as some would think, it didn't form an straight launch but instead it formed an parabola or in other words an up-down curve. Damon flew high in the air due to it but then the roar began to "fall" following the default of said "parabola", it's end was Genghis' exact location, in other words if Damon continued with the rocket-boost given by the uncontrolled roar, he would land on Genghis. However the uncontrolled roar has lost some speed in the proccess, increasing the time it would take for Damon to reach right above Genghis' head which he just did luckily as the clone was having a lot of difficults holding up the dome.

Damon couldn't be noticed via scent due to the wet-factor as he had went out of the water despite coming into contact with heat, also via eyesight as the snow would block the vision of one looking for anything in the sky. One would think the heat was bright enough to be noticed, but Genghis would be focusing his eyesight on "Damon" who was holding the dome, therefore he wouldn't pay so much attention to his surrounds as he would normally. Also it was snowing a bit heavy now, an act which made loud noises enough to cover most of his own noises. Damon who was above Genghis, had enhanced his right arm with shadows to the muscle-level as he prepared to deliver an powerful not-charged Shadow Dragon's Stone Crusher in Genghis' face, the punch was influentiated by speed, gravity and Damon's own strength. He prepared himself should Genghis notice him.

Eyes widen at the strange spectacle that just occurred, Genghis watched for a brief moment as he saw that his foe was able to literally slap his own attack back towards him in an arcing manner. "God, I hate the fact that Dragon Slayers can't eat our own elements. It's bullshit honestly.", Genghis though to himself as he kicked himself off the ground, moving away from the incoming projectile composed of blistering heat as it crashed into the ground where he was originally standing, causing a large explosion to occur as debris was sent flying. Skidding to a stop, Genghis looked around as he searched for Damon. Getting a nagging feeling in the back of his head, he looked up to see that Damon was coming down towards him with his right hand in a punching position as it was noticeably leaking shadows at a very quick speed, making him appear like a black comet.

Enveloping his entire left arm in immense heat, Genghis launched himself off the ground as he charged to meet Damon in a clash. Figuring that Damon's own punch would most likely have more force behind it due to gravity and all that nonsense, Genghis once again used his heat propellers to increase his own momentum as he flew through the air like a shooting star. Genghis let a smile appear on his face as he neared Damon as he knew that he could consider this man a rival, someone that he could compare himself to and even possibly call a friend one day, second only to that man. As he moved within a few feet of Damon, Genghis threw his left hand forward as it was closed into a fist as he attacked with the purposes of delivering the upmost damage that he could possibly preform onto his foe as he bellowed with a great amount of vigor, "Vermillion Dragon's Corrosive Fist!".
