The fiery dragon of flames and magma stood no chance against as its laser of nuclear flames were easily pushed back into its maw and the massive serpentine beast was pierced in two. The fire that made up the creatures two halves diminished, fading from a brilliant glowing mass of flames into smoke and ash. In spite of the overflowing energy that pulsated through the forms of Zachariah, the output of energy was beginning to ware on him. The dragon was the first and the last he would be bringing forth. The energy to summon such a beast was great, even for the emperor of the inferno. Yet it was torn asunder in an instant. With their efforts proven fruitless, the pair of pike wielding Zachariahs were reduced to nothingness as the holy flames that made up their bodies ran out of air and energy to sustain themselves leaving the pair of crystal boxes empty. Zachariah wielding a saber was ripping into fiery pieces that burned out as Mjolnir tore through his back, which didn't split apart this time to avoid the weapon, as it returned to Henry. The constant barrage of spears ceased, as the ocean of thousands that had raged toward the demon from every direction were dispelled by his fittingly named sword. There was one Zachariah left now, not counting the one still submerged into the lava scarred earth. The fiery archangel finally halted, hovering in the air above Henry silently, observing as his other forms, attacks, and summons were all dealt with before they could even manage to a single scrape on the somehow impervious demon. This was the limit. The furthest Zachariah had ever come. Spending eons neglecting his powers and his true purpose made him reckless with his abilities. In this state he only knew brute force. Constant onslaught. A tactic that appeared not to be doing very well against what appeared to be the ultimate defense. Zachariah felt himself burning. Not just from the flames that made up his body, but his very essence was burning away. The demons words were truer than he knew. The brighter the flame, the faster it burns away. In spite of it all, the archangel was steadfast. He watched calmly through a blazing gaze as his enemy shook off everything he could muster. Finally, as the demon went on about having better things to do, a sovereign voice resounded from Zachariah.

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/JWVs5GC.png[/img][/center] Zachariah drifted through the air, the heat emanating from his body diminishing into thousands of degrees instead of temperatures comparable with stars, as it was clearly having just as futile effect as every other attack. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/d7YvDWv.png[/img][/center] Lowering down from above, the archangel was at eye level with Henry now, just a few yards away. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/HhKfUuj.png[/img][/center] Smoke and flames spilled into the tepid air from the corners of his jagged maw as he spoke. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/r9ewad5.png[/img][/center] Disinterest bled through in the roiling tone of his seething voice. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/HjYaciM.png[/img][/center] A bluff considering everything so far has been deflected or diffused, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at the archangels fiery visage or through listening to his imposing voice. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/vgo1VEI.png[/img][/center] It almost seemed like a grin stretched across Zachariah's face, though it was hard to tell since his form was made up of dancing flames. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/L1SmuHz.png[/img][/center] Zachariah rose his fists, poising to attack without weapons or projectiles. None were working anyway, and all that was left to try was raw strength and speed. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/S3ddBcV.png[/img][/center] He rose a hand slowly into the air, and beckoned toward Henry.
