"Questioning Doubt"

Within the loud shrieks, decleration for an empire we're uttered by fools. Though their skills are commendable, these bugs are just that terrible that they duplicate and explode upon supposedly dying, spontaneously.

The injuries that they can endure despite their suits are grave, either ways, I'm used to it... As I observed them, someone pointed their sword at me. Their form are proper I suppose, mystical glow surrounds the challenger. It struck me, but it didn't scratch through my crimson flesh, so I asked, and negotiate nonchalantly:

"Is this an illusion by that Brat of Finality? Tell me where am I, then maybe I'd gladly aid you with these bugs."

Determined in this confusion, this, soldier exclaimed:

"Don't tempt me fiend, I'll never offer my soul for such a deal!"

Bugs began butting in, towards me and this soldier, when I caught one and it can't budge from my grasp it duplicated then the one I was holding explodes, it would have feel disgusting if it didn't evaporate due to my current state. 

The Brave Soldier proven their prowess unlike the recent fallen I was observing earlier. I'm afraid I'll have no one to ask in this vivid place. That Herrscher did declared I'll owe her, maybe if I can keep being this oddly calm as I am now, but time will tell.

"I suppose you are leading these Swarm you fiend!"

The soldier began charging against me after setting the bugs aside. A bug that hasn't died yet looked at me and laughed(?) in a mocking tone, so I slowly crushed it by my feet, as I ignore this desperate soldier with pity. 

As I strolled I lowered my heat, and began throwing debris at these bugs, if I startled them by trashtalking with my fist, they might flee, it'll take a while until a much formidable bug can oppose me. Unnecessarily these bugs are smart. As for the soldier following after me, it cautiously considered to welcome my help and be much rational-- huh-- rational? Me rational?! Thinking about it, I can't help but laugh, while the grudge from defeat of the soldier behind me grew. 

As I was pondering how careful I should control my strength I remembered that Woman's prowess who caused my first defeat, who culled the innocents of the Sanatorium. I want to let loose and be done with these bugs, or else, that Herrschers' taunt about me saving anymore may haunt me. Whether this situation am at truly was another reality or an illusion.

"Halt right there.", in a reassuring tone, I met a Scarred Old Man with a Shield, and similar suit, his presence alludes bravado and experience, as he is surrounded with numerous distorted Giant Bugs with his bloody hands and feet. Amused, I replied with a question.

"Tell me Old Man, where am I?"

To which he retorted,

"How about we properly introduce ourselves"

I gestured with my hand mockingly to come at me,

"Was I not the guest?"

As he chuckles and slowly approach me.

As for the soldier following after me with sharp eyes, they retreated.

As I let him approach he gaze through the Molten scars on my chest, especially to where normally the heart resides on the left side.

He clenched his fist and weakly bump it to where my heart resides with a weird smile. I waited for 4 seconds whether there's a delayed crushing impact but then he spoke.

"Sure you appear scary, but I've received questionable reports about a Red Devilish Man in Flames throwing around debris against these damned bugs effortlessly, and unblocking pathways, for sure I should doubt it, but your credibility is for me to observe without discrimination."

"What are you talking about? That's too long for me to remember."

"I apologize for my apprentice's prejudice, if you would kindly be. Should we keep going on this pest control? We can't really idle around now. As for the names, trust should be earned don't we?"

"Now Apprentice, Caution shouldn't be neglected but as a Knight of Glamoth, don't be so obvious with it."
