A section of the jagged Armor showed a silver-white hue, some parts were burnt black, while others featured spots similar to baked blue. At the metal's edges, the metal glowed red-hot, emitting waves of heat.
Derby watched the monster that emerged from the flames, fiercely swung the Short Dagger in his hand. The dagger, infused with specialized Soul-Breaking Poison, collided with the red-hot Iron Armor, easily shattering the metal and leaving a deep scar on Bologue's already bloodied arm.
Breaking free from the bindings, a cloak swirled around Derby's body, merging into the night, while Bologue unleashed a Great Sword that grew longer and longer, slicing through the darkness in front of him. From the blurred shadows emerged a streak of scorching blood, spilling onto the ruins.
Derby's figure materialized out of thin air, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state, his lowered eyes filled with resentment and venom. Bologue's sword had struck his leg.
