Ryu unleashed a howl. He didn't sound human at all, nor did he sound like a beast. It was more like an ancient primordial monster, a lurking fury hidden in the depths of an abyssal darkness.
It was like something within him was rampaging with all the rage in the world. It rattled against its cage, lashing out, violently pulling against the sides of his soul and the walls of his heart.
Black flames erupted from him, pouring out in all directions. Not red-black in the slightest, and not carrying the same fogginess of another familiar type of flame.
It didn't seem to be either his Rage Flame or his Death Flame. It didn't really feel like a fusion of the two either… instead, there was a third in there.
It was as though the Rage Flame, the Death Flame, and the White Flame had all combined to form a completely new sort of Flame, one that was the very antithesis of the White Flame.
