The recent revelations were enough to leave Blake fuming with rage. Valerius understood the reason behind his anger and decided to exploit it. A cruel thought crossed his mind as a sinister smile bloomed on his face when he spoke,
"Handover yourself, boy, and I promise your friend here will be fine," he said with an evil smirk.
Contrary to his expectations, Blake showed no reaction to his words, completely ignoring him. His focus shifted to the beam of lights from the city below, racing toward the skies and even overtaking the clouds.

"We are up,"
In response to his words, the red dragon let out a yelp of excitement before jumping off his shoulder, its body began to shiver, surging with power.
The air itself seemed to respond to this latent power, resonating with a low hum that echoed through the air.
At first, subtle changes manifested in the pet dragon's physical appearance. Once small and tightly packed, its scales began to grow larger and more pronounced. The ruby hue deepened, reflecting the intensity of an unquenchable flame. The dragon's horns, once mere protrusions, extended and curved, now resembling fiery tendrils reaching toward the heavens.
As the transformation continued, the air crackled with energy, and the temperature around the area soared as the dragon's body diffused immense heat.

Enhanced by the speed of lightning, Blake considered Valerius' attempt to catch him off-guard laughable. Not bothering to look back, Blake tilted his head to the left and felt the steaming wind brush of the across his cheek.
At the same time, Luciano charged forward. Kicking the air, his body began spinning in the wind while golden flames exploded from his body. Soon Luciano was almost entirely engulfed in a body of golden flames, twice Blake's size at the very least.
However, Blake had no intentions of clashing with him head-on. He warped away to dodge the attack but Valerius had already expected this, so he used flame jump to warp alongside Blake.

Ding.
The attack was blocked successfully, but Valerius had expected this and twisted his body at the perfect moment to manoeuvre to Blake's left, stabbing forward ruthlessly with his spear.
Simultaneously, Luciano arrived at Blake's right with blazing golden eyes. Slamming his swords together, they merged to form one blazing golden sword. Slashing forward, a staggering amount of golden flames danced forward, speeding towards Blake!
This synergy… is beautiful… it is almost perfect
