Chapter [B4] 29 — Divinity
Huo Shun had rarely felt this much anger. Fire was a thing of fury, and so he’d spent his entire life learning control, to tame those flames and make them follow his will. He could get angry but it was always a conscious choice. Something he let happen, and not something that governed him in any way whatsoever.
Which is how he found himself surprised as very real anger bubbled forth from inside of him, slipping past the grasp of that control as he stared at the demon in front of him.
The demon was a strange thing, he almost looked like a man, until you saw his eyes. A deep pulse of inhuman power ran within those eyes that not even mortals would mistake for anything but the sign of a demon. The man wore thin clothes that draped all over him, his skin was dark, but not the inhuman black that many demons were.
Huo Shun looked at the demon, at the target of his wrath and then slowly began to control his anger. He pulled it inwards, bundling it up, letting it stoke the flames inside of him, turned it into a weapon. He’d found his place here, at this place, by understanding the nature of fire. It burned and it longed to spread, and it would consume you if you let it reach that far, and so he’d looked into those flames in his heart and then given them something else to feed on, something powerful and destructive, but instead of destroying him, he’d use it to destroy his enemies.
Fire rose around Huo Shun as he looked at the demon and spoke.
“Your kind has chosen wrongly. You have chosen wrongly. And today, the heavens shall witness it as I will let my flames consume the last of demon kind and wipe them from history,” he said, flames manifesting around his arms.
“Your arrogance is why you have fallen this far. And it will be your fall today. There is no need for words, this will simply be the end of you,” the demon said, as the earth under his feet began to dry and crumble, heat rose around the demon’s body as the ground morphed into sand and a vile power spread around him.
Huo Shun concentrated his power, calling upon the most furious of flames and let them manifest into the world.
