Bert's fate was an unfortunate one. He lost everything and all he had left now was his life, which seemed void of all meaning as he waited for death. Despite people saying that Nolan was a heartless devil that couldn't care about others besides himself, he wasn't that far on the asshole spectrum. The story tugged his heartstrings and he felt some form of sympathy for the broken down man. Perhaps this man was beyond being saved? It maybe more merciful to end his life right there so he wouldn't have to live another second of his pathetic existence. But then there was something off about him. Bert's eyes widened as if he saw the monster right before him. Wait, [i]You've come?[/i] [color=00746b]"Stop you-!"[/color] Sand blasted Nolan away from the man, tumbling in a backwards somersault before landing on his hands and knees, quickly standing back up with Kaso, his katana, held with his left hand. [color=00746b]"Great, just great. This guy is a fucking loon." [/color] The God Slayer grumbled to himself. 

Their situation wasn't ideal. Bert had become violent and was trying to crush them with massive sand pillars that surrounded them from all directions. While Nolan was as calm as he ever was, but agitated when Lucas said that he would do whatever Nolan said. [color=00746b]"You imbecile! Fight, not talk!"[/color] Ashes appeared around his arm then traveled to the palm of his hand, forming a sphere the size of a basketball. [color=00746b]"Ash God's Explosive Cinders!"[/color] He shot the sphere with a punch and it flew straight forward towards the falling pillars in front of them, the attack expanded into a massive  that consumed the pillars before exploding with tremendous force that shot sand and ash everywhere. 

Once the opening in front was created, ashes exploded beneath Nolan feet to give him a speed boost as he dashed towards Bert with Kaso in both hands. Nolan had kept his body down low close to the ground and when he was in range, he used his forward momentum to power up his horizontal slash towards Bert's stomach.
