Evangeline's words reached out to Blaze. It was true. While his firstmost intention was to protect her, Paco and the other woman, his behavior from the menacing Deity, in the end he acted like nothing more than a wild beast. It was a side of him he never knew he had. Would that happen everytime he faced someone strong? The idea terrified him. He didn't consider the fact he would die at all. As capable a fighter he was in this world's standarts, the powers of other beings was just overwhelming. He stopped his attacks and the scar ceased to shine. His canines became normal as well. He pitied himself. He stood up from Conquestus' last assault. Once again he couldn't land a hit. But he couldn't care less about that right now. He stood up, dusted off his clothes and body. He moved forward without lifting his head and appeared before Conquestus.

"I am sorry for my behavior, Deity of Conflict. I am clearly not your equal in battle. Thanks for sparing my life." he said.

He then turned his back on the Deity, not in a rude or arrogant way, but because he didn't have anything else to say. He picked the rest of his clothes from the ground. Once again, he covered his scar. He still didn't lift his head, just passing by everyone. Before passing by Evangeline, he said:

"I am sorry...You didn't deserve to see this." 

His voice was trembling, as if he was holding tears, tears of regret, that is. After that, he moved forward, not looking back at all. Paco, who was watching the entire battle, followed him, obviously worried.

"Blaze...?"

"It's nothing, Paco. I just need some time to think..."

He kept walking to the other side of the platform. Sometime later he dissapeared from everyone's sight and sat alone on the edge of the platform. His eyes had an empty look and his face was full of grief.
