Parent-Child

A vortex of scalding wind careened toward Ryu. What was left of the air's moisture was eradicated in an instant. Even without the ability to breathe fire, this attack was almost more dangerous. However, it was also the kind of attack Ryu had the easiest time dodging.

In that moment, Ryu's body became as light as a feather. Feeling the fluctuations in the air, he instinctively dodged, appearing to the side of the cyclone of pressurized wind.

Ryu completed a series of [advances], closing the distance between him and the Two-Winged Fire Tiger. He brandished his halberd, using its tip to attack the beast's neck. But all he received in return were a pair of ringing eardrums due to what sounded like plates of metal crashing against one another.

The halberd's polearm bent into a crescent moon. It was almost guaranteed that had its wooden body not undergone such drastic changes by being tempered by beast blood, it would have definitely snapped.
