More fire. It can't possibly be worse than Ignatius, and it isn't. It stings, and it burns, and if he weren't already used to agony from earlier, he might have even done more than flinch and hiss through his teeth.

But he holds steady, and Strange slumps over. He simultaneously pulls Tensa Zangetsu out and catches the body with his free arm. He lets the corpse down easy, into an almost comfortable position.

Then, in a scene out of a nightmare, Zangetsu extends his left hand. The flesh bubbles and grows and turns into, yes, that same horrible giant worm-like appendage that he ate Tyki with back at the Manor, complete with disturbingly human teeth. It's a good thing Strange is already gone, because this would really just set it off into pure nightmare land.

With a slick and horrifying chomp, Zangetsu swallows Strange's body whole before the wisps of blueish soul can escape. The mouth licks its lips with a grotesque blue tongue.

Zangetsu pauses to look below, wondering what might become of Ignatius.

... Not his problem.

With Strange's body and soul in tow, he flees the coliseum as fast as he can, back to Carnival grounds.
