He gazed at his arms as his wounds seemed to heal entirely through some magic unknown to him. Even more surprising his cloak was being recreated around him, looking even newer and healthy than ever before. He gazed back towards the "God" before him. He was skeptical to say the least, he had met few people who he could agree were stronger than him. He claimed rule over the underworlds after-all... Then again, that glory no longer held much weight after the Cataclysm. But there was no denying that there was something... Unusual about the man before him. He took the shape of a human, but he could sense no human attributes. Maybe it was some kind of trick?
The rate at which a Draken's mind thought was both a curse and a blessing. It helped in battle, but out of battle, the rampant thoughts would bring them to the edge of insanity. It is for this reason that Drakens have continued to fight and kill throughout history, as it was the easiest method to calm their minds even if only for a few moments. Needless to say, the weakest Drakens were quickly eliminated by the high suicide rate. Only those who could tolerate their own existence survived, breeding forth an ever more superior race with each generation.
The dark matter that consumed his blade slithered like a black gel back, traveling up his gloved hand and soon hidden under his sleeve where it presumably was sucked back into his body. His blade seemed much smaller in size by comparison to before.
By now the flame core that was infused into his body had drained itself of the energy it had, and soon that fire energy was no longer available. No matter, he still managed to keep most of his reserves in fire techniques untouched. He felt more rejuvenated now, even more so than when he had started the last battle.
For now he was forced to play this game to reach his true opponent, but if it was the only way he would follow it. He carried the blade firmly still in his right hand as he headed in the direction West pointed without saying a word, just a simple nod in unspoken thanks.
After crossing through the calming grasslands for some time, in the distance he saw a large circular structure that seemed to have endured many great battles and tragedies. As he approached the building, headed towards the large double-gated main entrance, he raised his blade in front of him, preparing for a trap. A mild metallic black and purple fog was spewing out of his right hand and over the hilt of the blade as the dark energies within him primed themselves and lubricated his various energy channels.
