Without any further warning he vanished.
SWOOSH!
He reappeared directly in front of Rathlos with his fist already drawn back and covered in dense crimson energy that crackled and pressed against the air around it.
Then he struck with everything behind it.
BOOOOM!
The impact shook the sky and Rathlos' massive body shifted slightly as the force spread outward and a shockwave tore through the clouds above them. The nearby mountain peaks cracked under the pressure of the collision.
But Rathlos did not move much. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the demon with an expression that carried no particular urgency in it.
"That's it?" he said.
Before the demon could react a massive claw came down.
BOOM!
The demon was smashed downward and crashed through the air before slamming into the ground below with a force that shattered the mountain beneath him and tore through it as his body carved a path into the rock. Dust and debris exploded upward in a wide cloud.
