He laughs to himself at this show of bravado from the child.
"Oh? so you're not my knight? Than you are useless to me.. This show of sudden bravery is meaningless."
His face becomes more stern, more agitated as he began to walk forward. He pauses for a brief second as a plume of fire erupts near him, but is quickly snuffed out by the cold, dissolving into nothing. He turns to the one responsible and with a wicked grin chokes out the simple phrase. "Looks like someone skipped science class!"
He says lunging forward, black smoke resonating from his fist. he slams into the ground in front of the attacker causing massive spikes of ice to jut forward towards him.
"See, when I said the cold is all that remains, I meant it. The cold is always there regardless of what you do.. You can never get rid of it. The only way to deal with it is to introduce heat, but considering heat requires energy and the cold removes energy. Fire has some trouble existing in areas of intense cold. And this.. this is a cold I have felt my entire life.
His head swivels to see Eric once more. His teeth grit as he walks forward.
"So? If you're not my knight than what are you?"
He stamps his foot on the ground causing a spear of ice to jut out of the sheet that was slowly forming from A.Z. Dianamon, and directly into the thigh of Eric.
"A man?"
He says picking up his pace walking faster towards him, stamping his foot one more time causing a second spear to jut out and jab him in the opposite thigh piercing directly through.
"A dog? Yes! a dog! an obedient little mutt who would wait patiently for his masters beck and call, yet refused to question or do anything else, never helping anyone else unless commanded to. A completely useless individual who would only do what he knew, and never be reckless or go to save someone. Oh no! Only wait for their return. Like the obedient, patient, dog, you are."
His words were almost as cold as the air around them. He was callous and uncaring, this mask of complete bile was only slightly able to hide the insanity he had finally let out. He was unhinged almost completely. He ran closer and closer to Eric a grin lit up his face.
"So come on little dog! Show this old monster you still have fangs!"
He yelled jumping into the air his fist cocked and ready to hit the little dog.
