The situation was heating up in all parts of Slough, but the first area that had made contact with the opponent was none other than Cipen. Crowley had been fighting Glutton, one of the strong leaders that belonged to the Phoenix Gang.
The civilians behind him, and the gang members that he taught every day for over a year now, were getting hurt, which was why he thought it was best for him to use all his strength to go all out and defeat the opponent as quickly as possible.
Using a lot of his strength, he thought he had Glutton surrounded and done for, but now he had finally transformed into his Altered state, and it was a hot mess.
“It looks like I got ahead of myself a little bit. I’ve used up half my power, and here it looks like he’s just getting started,” Crowley said, trying to explain the situation to his new helper by his side.
“I thought they would send the most troublesome one to this place. I can imagine all places are being hit pretty hard right now, so let’s deal with this!” Kai said as he began to transform into his Wolf form.
Immediately, Glutton in his new form started to open his mouth and fire away. Three fireballs came out from his mouth at the same time, but Kai was too fast in his current form. He was able to avoid them all as he continued to run around.
Seeing an opportunity, Crowley wasted no time as he threw his black feathers toward Glutton. When they hit his body, it looked like it had next to no effect. The tip had hit him, piercing his skin, but in moments, the heat from his body had turned the feather into ashes.
“My feathers are no normal feathers; he must have an incredibly hot body right now in his Altered form. Will we even be able to hurt him the way he is?”
Kai had seen what happened to the feathers, so he thought of something fairly quickly. He ran towards a vehicle and midway started to transform into his Werewolf form. Right after, he lifted the car with his strength and then hurled it right at Glutton.
It came out fast, hitting his body and crushing him. The edge started to melt, but he still felt the impact of the car being thrown at him. Opening his mouth wide, Glutton was ready to unleash a breath of fire.
In doing so, he would melt the car directly, but before he could even do that, Crowley was in the air with his smaller wings and had flown right into the metal car and kicked it with his leg with all the strength he had, pushing it further into his body.
At that point, Glutton’s large body fell onto the ground, the heat spreading out onto the floor.
“You did good,” Kai said as Crowley landed next to him.
“I just borrowed from your idea,” Crowley replied.
“Well if you hadn’t thrown your feathers at him, I wouldn’t have known it would be hard to touch him,” Kai answered.
The two of them were confident. With their skills and quick thinking, they knew they could work together to take this one down.
Immediately, as Glutton was getting up, Crowley flew from his position and he was looking at the streetlight. With his claw, he cut it from the bottom, and just as it was about to fall, he managed to catch it.
With the streetlight, he then threw it into the air. At this point, Glutton had just gotten up from the floor, when looking up, he could see a Wolf Altered heading his way, and in the air, he had grabbed onto a streetlight with both hands.
Kai swung the street lamp down hard, hitting the top of Glutton’s head. The large impact made an echoing sound, and Glutton’s head was squashed into his body, but even the metal street lamp started to melt as well.
“This is frustrating!” Glutton shouted, and small drops of flames went off from his body in all different areas. They quickly diminished as they hadn’t anything to stay lit on.
“This guy can take quite a beating huh?” Kai asked.
“I have been trying for a while before you got here, but one can’t stay in an Altered form forever; it uses up a lot of energy. Maybe we just need to continue what we're doing until his Altered form disappears.
“When he’s back in his human form, that’s when we can finish him.”
Getting rid of one of the main members of the Phoenix Gang would be a big win for the group, and it was exactly what they needed with the way everything had been going for them so far.
Right then, Crowley went flying in the air again; if they could continue this double barrage from above and below, things were working out. Both of them were too fast for Glutton. He might have had destructive power and a high resistance, but the opponents he was going against were the worst for him.
As he was looking down at Glutton though, something caught the right of his eye. There was a man on the roof, running towards him. He had a sleeveless red shirt on, and when he reached the edge, he jumped in the air.
Pulling out from his back were two swords that looked to be red burning hot. The leap was a large one, and he had perfectly landed right on top of Crowley.
The moment he did, he swung down the two swords, stabbing Crowley through his stomach. A burst of flames came out from them, and the two of them went hurtling to the floor like a meteorite.
“Crowley!” Kai shouted out as he looked at the dust, at his ally.
“Damn you, Glutton, couldn’t you finish things by yourself?” Greed said.
