Its lips peeled away from the teeth they shielded, he had finally done it. The Baron had found the one thing that would unleash all of the anger pent up inside of the god killer, something so insulting that it had driven him to the brink of madness. Though he had the chance to move, though he had the chance to evade or counterattack. Moving out of the way would have been stupid. 

Just before the blow was struck, and the Baron was knocked from his standing position, the cloud of blackness was ejected from his form in all directions from his body. Leaving only the crescent on his ankle behind, the cloud erupted forward as Tetsue slammed into him. Like a puff of smoke erupting from an explosion, the cloud did not settle.

Back to The Baron, who did not move as he was driven into the Earth and Concrete. Layers upon layers of his hide were peeled away as he was dragged across the surface. This anger was the second strongest signiture he's ever felt, and it was beauty. The pain of being dragged like a ragdoll in a child's hand was overwhelmed with the pleasure given to him by the immense amount of energy feeding into him. 

The horns adorning the crown of his head were split, the spines running down his back were torn free, and the spikes on his elbows had been ground down to nubs. All of this just before being raised into the air and slammed into the tunnel below, where he lay for a moment. Looking through the hole left behind by his bulk, he saw the God Killer's pressure influencing the world around him in a profound way. 

As The Baron willed his body to stand back up, ignoring his body's protests by commanding them forcefully to move, he stood once more. Staring upwards at Tetsue, his teeth still bared to the winds. Rubble and now torn away skin fell from his figure, dropping to the ground in bulk. "A god killer. I once referred to myself as such. But I realized something that you too should address." The Baron's body tensed up before launching upwards through the ground beneath Tetsue's feet, ejecting so much matter from the ground that it erupted like a shotgun from below. The Baron was on the counter-offensive now, with a mad hunger driving his movements he propelled himself forward and into the warmonger. 

If he struck the warlord he would return the favor of his little jam session by grappling him by both of his ankles and hurtling him back towards the cloud of fog that had erupted from his body moments before. 

Why back towards the cloud? 

The cloud itself had reformed into the rough shape [b]of[/b] The Baron himself. A colossal humanoid entity of comparable size and strength to the monster. It would follow up the goliath's throw by rushing forward in full sprint and punching Tetsue with all of its might, at highway speeds. The combination of the throw's momentum and the duplicate's force would send out a shockwave so great that every window in the nearby buildings would explode inwards. 

The Baron would then punctuate his actions with a sinister one-liner. [b]"You should realize that I am far greater than a God!"[/b]
