Salvos replied to Soverick confidently, "That was in the past. Things have changed. I have changed and I will defeat you today."

He has no shame. Besides, things have changed. Soverick was a beginner mana entity back then while he and his siblings were about to become transcendents. Now they are transcendents while Soverick is a king of law. Things have changed since then.

Their divine abilities have increased in power after awakening further. Salvos has only ever tasted defeat once and that was to Soverick. He will wipe out that blemish by defeating Soverick now and taking the crown for himself.

Soverick spread his hand wide and said, "Is that so? If you've not noticed. I survived your attack." 

Salvos spoke as he walked closer to the pyramid. "I noticed. But that only means you require a longer attack for you to be defeated. It is something I can do. Today, I will defeat a sage."

Not only is Soverick the child of the plane, he is also a sage. That is double titles that bring double honor and glory. It also means the one that defeats Soverick will get to be honored too. He will be that one today. He is not a sage or the child of the plane, but he will make do with the title of the one that defeated both.

He stopped 10km away from the pyramid. This is where he plans to attack Soverick from. While others are suppressed to a range of 100m and their best have a range of 120m, his range of attack can reach 12km. He knows that the child of the plane is strong and fast so he won't tempt fate by getting close to him. So he will stay here 10km away where he is safe and he will bombard Soverick from afar.

Soverick sneered at him. "Why don't you give it your best shot then."

"I will," Salvos replied curtly. "Don't die too soon."

Then Soverick waited for the attack. If his heart could beat then it will be thundering in his chest because of nervousness and if he still has hormones then his bloodstream will be flooded with adrenaline right now. He doesn't have a heart so he remained calm and stoic. 

But under his layer of calm is the coiled impetus for violence. He doesn't need adrenaline for him to be more than prepared for fight or flight. He is always ready to output 100% of his abilities and more when he needs. He is a perfect engine of destruction ready to be unleashed.

The perfect control of transcendental is a peculiar thing. It is a result of the fusion of the mind and body. He doesn't need to be nervous for his body to be ready for peak performance even though he has a lot to be nervous about. Salvos is not an easy opponent. Any opponent that can harm him is not easy at all. 

Soverick has won all of his fights without his enemies being able to harm him in the slightest. They hardly even touch him much less harm him. Salvos on the other hand is more than capable of killing him. If it will be damaging to his image for him to be chased around by people, then it will be cataclysmic to his image for him to be bested in combat by a single person. He is confident though because he has a plan. He just has to wait.

His patience was soon rewarded. He felt it before Salvos attacked. Then he saw it as soon as Salvos attacked. A massive spring of fire erupted from Salvos within the law matrix. The spring of fire ejected an ocean's worth of fire into the world. The ocean of fire flowed out of him to drown everything else. 

Salvos looks like a volcano within his vision. He doesn't need his intuition to tell him that he is in danger. He can see it coming even before it was created so he sprung into action immediately. He was gone into the law matrix before Salvos opened his eyes. The world turned into flames soon after. 

Soverick reappeared in less than a second on the slopes of the pyramid in the opposite direction that the attack came from. Even with his anticipation and speed, he was still struck by that attack. His fur is slightly burned but not by much. 

The major problem is that the burn wants to propagate itself and spread further into his body. He can handle and purge it. It would have been worse had he not seen that the attack was coming. It would have also been bad had he remained in the law matrix. He would have more to deal with than some stray effects. 

He purged the errant law of fire from his body quickly while the pyramid protected him from the rest of the attack. Then he waited for his opportunity.

He can see fire all around him. The left and right side of the pyramid is currently submerged in flames. The flames reach the sky from the ground. The fate of whoever is in the flames can not be pleasurable. An ocean of water can drown someone. The pressure can even crush them to paste. So an ocean of fire is an overkill. It is just cruel.

The attack lasted more than a second. Soverick smiled as the clock ticked by. The world was wrung and twisted into producing flames against its wishes. It made him smile the more it went on.

Salvos extended the duration of the attack to make sure that Soverick will die. It has been proven that the child of the plane is a tough cookie that needs more than a second of exposure to his attack for him to be killed. He wants to make sure he gets Soverick this time. It will not do for him to fail at killing the child of the plane again especially since he has a direct line of sight to Soverick this time.
