Gluttony’s tongue wrapped around Laevateinn, who had been trying to run away. In many ways, it was an odd sight. In the epicenter of the fire that was burning the clouds, a bead of light was caught by a tongue.

However, Theo didn’t have room to enjoy the curious sight.

[Hey! Swallow it quickly!]

Fluidization was quickly reaching its limits. Despite the fact that Gluttony had restrained Laevateinn, the heat was getting worse, and there was no way Theo would survive. Theo would die the instant Fluidization was released. Somehow, he had to win before that.

Gluttony sensed Theo’s urgency, and its tongue grew more taut as it shouted in a voice which couldn’t contain its joy.

- Bastard! Resisting, meaningless!

Then it pulled on Laevateinn as hard as it could.

Huwoook!

This was the final, desperate struggle. Flames soared into the sky through the gaps of the tongue that was wound tightly around it. The atmosphere above the clash distorted as the clouds were vaporized.

Laevateinn’s last ditch effort...
