Arlia watched with horror in her eyes as the man she loved with all her heart succumbed to rage and became a monstrous beast, roaring and charging head on at her father. She had never seen him in such a state of fury, let alone in a state of single-minded rage. "It's time to put this animal in his place," Adriano calmly spoke. He waited until Nigel came close enough for him to reach him before using both his hands to grab onto his jaw, dueling his strength against that of the large beast. As they clashed, it soon became clear how he could survive the blast that had incinerated his men and how he was able to deflect Arlia's attack. A protective layer of light protected his entire body from the attacks, covering him from head to toe just above his skin, the layer shining as Nigel's jaws made contact with his arm. "A beast's strength is indeed one to be cautious of," Adriano paused, then smirked as he felt the beast trying to clamp down on him, "but a beast of hell is no match for an angel of the heavens." Upon his confident, almost arrogant, declaration, he began to push back as if he was trying to tear Nigel apart by his jaws.
