Kuroda put his guard up, watching carefully as Shax circled him at high speed. When the demon asked about fighting at a distance, he smiled a bit. "I admit, up close and personal is my specialty and preference. But since you asked..." Kuroda leapt up into the air. As he did so, fire began to cover his entire body. When his arms were covered in fire, he swung them forward, and arcs of fire shot out from each arm, forming an X. It shot down towards the blur that was Shax. At the height of his jump, Kuroda's wings sprung out from his back. Before they were coated in fire as well, a quick glance would reveal that they leathery, and he had about a 12-foot wingspan. As the fire covered Kuroda's body, the flames around his head formed the shape of a dragon's head, and his eyes glowed red within the flames. The flames at his lower back slowly stretched out, forming a tail.
