Chapter 165: Truth
"There’s nowhere left for you to run. I’d advise you to surrender and come along quietly. I mean, do you think you stand any chance of defeating me?" Inquired Raven coldly, as he cornered Alphonse at the dead end of an alley.
"D-Damn it, that useless little-...and after oh so boldly declaring that he’d buy me time too, what bullshit!"
"Seriously, you’re blaming him? The guy you deceived and used for your own benefit?" Responded Raven in disgust.
"Shut up, you damned freak! I will not be lectured by the likes of you! Do you...do you have any idea who I am?!" Snapped Alphonse, trembling as he glared up at Raven.
"Sure I do, you’re a pathetic, conniving, cornered little rat," Smirked Raven tauntingly, looking to buy some time.
He’d left a trail of shedded scales for the others to follow, and was waiting for them to catch up. He had his senses sharpened too, in order to detect them once they were closeby.
He was currently hovering above the buildings on either side of the alley, with Alphonse cornered below, desperately and frantically trying to think of a way to get out of this situation.
"F-Fuck you! I...I refuse to let it end like this!" Exclaimed Alphonse, before starting to sprint forward.
Raven let out a sigh before unleashing a swirling fireball down at the alley, which roared down rapidly and slammed onto the ground in front of Alphonse, who let out a startled yell and stumbled back, falling down with a thud.
