Creed drew Clarent once more, and the sword burst alive with scorching flames. The sword summed up the target, Clarent unconsciously going through several formulas in his head. "Survival in a head-on, one-on-one fight: highly unlikely." Clarent looked at the others around them. They could make up for their lacking strength, though there would be casualties. The chance of survivability will raise, but not as much as they would hope. The sword's flames grew hotter as the blade vibrated with a fury, and the underlying pulsing of a heart. The heart of the flame, pulsing with anticipation. Such a strong enemy, he would be shown no mercy.
Creed felt a power surging inside Clarent, such that the blade had never shown before, and he gripped the sword with both hands, before all hell broke loose. Flames burst from the sword, covering Creed, being absorbed into his every pore. Each lick of flame the Dragon Slayer absorbed boosted his power massively, spiraling higher still. His power doubled, no, Creed's raw power tripled before the flames died down, the man having a new gleam in his eye as he spun his sword with skill not his own, and stood, glaring at Toguro, smirking.
"This is going to be fucking fun!"
In all honesty, he was still not as strong as the large warrior, but this was all Clarent was allowed to spare. He tried to contribute more, but the inner seal of his blade form just wouldn't let him. The power was well hidden, seeming like all he'd done was what he normally would, devouring flames and being ready to fight. But the power crawled under his skin, waiting to burst forth.
