Mark wasted no time, his blades practically singing as he lunged forward. He swung with precision, aiming for Hendrik’s gut, but his opponent sidestepped fluidly, the heat around him making his skin prickle uncomfortably.
Ria flanked from the opposite side, her hands glowing. With a sharp motion, she sent a wave of frost hurtling toward his feet, trying to lock him in place.
Hendrik shifted, slamming his foot down. The air rippled, and the ice didn’t just melt—it disappeared, evaporating into nothingness before it even touched the ground.
“Amateur,” he muttered, dodging another slash from Mark with a subtle twist of his torso.
Ria took the opportunity to fling another barrage of icy shards, aiming for his exposed side. This time, they struck—but only briefly, melting almost as soon as they connected.
Seizing the moment, Mark directed a lightning bolt, hoping the sudden surge would throw Hendrik off balance.
Hendrik threw up his hands, conjuring a blazing wall of flame that sizzled as it devoured the electricity with a sharp crack.
The force of the collision sent ripples of heat and static energy through the room, displacing the air like a sudden shockwave.
But something was wrong. The fire didn’t react like normal flame—it didn’t flicker, didn’t waver. It was too solid, too controlled as if it had weight. And when it dispersed, it left no smoke, no lingering heat. It simply ceased to exist. What the hell is that?
When the light faded, Hendrik was still standing, completely unharmed. “Impressive,” he said, his tone almost approving. “But not enough.”
How? Fire shouldn’t be able to do this.
The fight became a deadly dance.
Mark alternated between his blades and plasma bursts, using his agility to keep Hendrik on his toes. Every strike came just a hair slower than he wanted, his body struggling to keep up. Move. Move, damn it!
Ria kept her distance, flanking and attacking with bursts of frost that forced Hendrik to constantly adjust his footing.
At one point, Mark used his enhanced strength to hurl one of his blades like a javelin, the weapon streaking forward with crackling energy.
Hendrik flicked his wrist, shooting fire that made the blade veer off and crash into a sparking console with a loud clang.
Sweat dripped down Mark’s face as he focused, sending a blazing stream of plasma to blend with Ria’s icy assault. Together, their powers like a wild wave, crashing against Henrik’s blazing barrier. Alright, old man. Let’s see how you handle this.
And just for a heartbeat, their united assault shook Henrik, pushing him back under the sheer force of their power.
Yet, the fire mage’s resilience was formidable.
With a ferocious roar, he gathered his strength and unleashed a devastating burst of flame. The explosion tore through their combined attack, shattering the wave of ice and dissipating the plasma in a deafening blast.
FUckKk ... Mark barely had time to brace before the shockwave hit.
His feet lifted from the ground, and for a moment, time stretched. The world tilted, his body weightless as he hurtled backward.
Then ... impact.
His back slammed against the cold floor, and pain lanced through his ribs, rattling his bones. He gasped, trying to force air back into his lungs, his vision swimming.
What the hell is this fire? His mind raced as he struggled to push himself up. It’s not normal. It’s too strong, too ... wrong. He glanced at Ria, who was lying a few feet away, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she tried to catch her breath. Her frost had been completely overwhelmed, and the look on her face told him she was just as surprised as he was.
There was something... wrong about his flames.
A shadow loomed over him. Hendrik’s silhouette burned against the hazy backdrop of steam and cracked glass. “You two are full of surprises.”
Mark gritted his teeth, forcing himself to his feet. His hands shook. The heat was worse now, sinking into his bones, making every motion feel sluggish. He could barely catch his breath ... the air itself felt thick, wrong, like he was inhaling something heavier than oxygen.
There’s something off about his fire. Need to figure it out, or we’re dead.
Ria staggered up beside him, her breathing labored. “This guy’s a nightmare.”
He nodded wiping sweat from his brow, his muscles protesting every motion. He needed a new plan. They couldn’t outlast him, couldn’t overpower him head-on.
They split off, each taking a flank.
Hendrik’s posture remained relaxed, but his eyes flickered with the sharp intensity of a predator, tracking their movements.
Mark feinted left, drawing his attention for the briefest moment. It was enough.
Ria swooped in from the right as she unleashed a flurry of razor-sharp ice sickles.
Hendrik responded without hesitation, a wave of his hand dissolving the ice midair into harmless steam.
The sudden burst of vapor filled the room, shrouding their surroundings.
Mark seized the opportunity, dashing forward into the cover of the mist. He abandoned his blades, channeling his strength into his fists as he aimed for a quick succession of body blows.
But Hendrik was ready, his movements a seamless blend of defensive martial arts and precise spellcasting. He deflected Mark’s strikes with ease, pivoting fluidly.
A glancing blow caught him in the ribs, the force of the impact staggering him momentarily. Before he could recover, Henrik retaliated, a blazing fist arcing towards his face.
Instinctively, Mark summoned a barrier, the void construct deflecting the fiery strike mere inches from his flesh. Damn it. He’s too fast. I can’t keep up.
“Interesting,” Hendrik murmured.
A sudden ring of fire erupted around him, forcing Mark to leap back, the heat searing his skin.
He landed in a crouch, sweat dripping down his face from the suffocating heat. His defense is as good as his offense ... Maybe better.
The battle raged on.
Mark and Ria fought with seamless synchronicity, their attacks flowing together in a relentless barrage.
Yet, for every strike they landed, Henrik countered with a dozen of his own, his mastery over the flames seemingly absolute.
Mark could feel the strain mounting, his muscles burning with exertion as he poured every ounce of his strength into the fight.
Ria, meanwhile, engaged in a battle of attrition, unleashing a continuous stream of frost and frozen constructs, trying to wear down the fire mage’s defenses.
Henrik responded in kind, countering with gouts of flame that melted through Ria’s icy onslaught.
The chamber became a swirling vortex of steam, the air thick and oppressive, beading with condensation.
The pods, caught in the crossfire, began to crack, the blue liquid within bubbling and hissing. One exploded under the combined strain of heat and pressure, spilling its luminescent liquid and the malformed figure within.
Straight-on attacks aren’t working. He glanced at Ria, who was holding her own but clearly tiring. Time for a different approach.
Pouring his energy into his legs, he shot up like a rocket, rising above Henrik, then dropping down, aiming to tackle him to the ground.
Hendrik noticed the movement and reacted instantly, hurling a fireball.
Mark twisted midair, narrowly avoiding the blazing projectile, and allowed his momentum to carry him into a roll. He landed hard, his knees groaning from the impact, but he didn’t hesitate. Pivoting quickly, he swept his leg in a low arc, catching Hendrik off guard and knocking his feet out from under him.
Hendrik hit the floor with a grunt. Mark didn’t waste a second, leaping onto him, trying to pin him down.
The moment his hands made contact, he knew he’d made a mistake.
It was like trying to pin down a molten stove. Every point of contact seared his skin, the heat unbearable. He hissed in pain, instinctively pulling back, and Hendrik used the opportunity to kick him off with brutal force.
“Bad move,” he muttered as he brought his hands together in a sharp clap, the sound reverberating like a gunshot.
A wave of intense heat, like a blast furnace opening, radiated outwards, sending Mark flying backward. He crashed into a wall, his head hitting the hard surface, and he slumped to the ground, dazed, the world spinning.
Pain exploded behind his eyes, and he groaned, sliding to the ground as the world spun around him.
Get up. Mark groaned as he pushed himself off the floor, his muscles screaming in protest. You can’t stop now. Get up! His vision was blurred, a dull haze clouding his surroundings.
Blinking rapidly, he rubbed the back of his head and winced as his fingers came away slick with blood.
“Damn,” he muttered, swaying as he steadied himself.
The room was unrecognizable. Every pod had shattered, their gel-like contents spilling across the floor in thick, viscous pools. Grotesque humanoid forms twitched weakly in the muck, their malformed bodies sprawled in unnatural positions. The air was heavy with the sickly-sweet smell of the gel, mingling with the acrid stench of fire and steam.
His stomach lurched as he spotted Hendrik. The bastard stood over Ria, his polished shoe pressing down on her throat. She clawed at his leg, her movements weak, her ice melting before it could even form.
“Ice mages ... You’re always the most fun to kill. The way you crack and splinter under pressure—it’s almost ... poetic.”
“G-Go ... to hell,” she choked out, her voice strained but defiant.
“You bastard!” Mark snarled, stepping forward, only for his legs to buckle beneath him.
Hendrik’s gaze flicked to him briefly, then returned to Ria. “I expected more from Crescent’s pride,” he said, raising a hand. “But I suppose even the best can disappoint.”
Mark watched in horror as the flesh began to glow a deep, angry red, flames licking at Henrik’s fingertips. Move, damn it! MOVE!
Ria’s struggling grew weaker, her movements slowing as Hendrik pressed down harder. Embers of flame swirled around his palm, coalescing into a deadly orb of fire.
No. No, no, no. She’s going to die. I can’t let this happen. I can’t—
Just as Hendrik was about to release the fireball, he was suddenly blasted across the room. His body crashed through the far wall, vanishing into the debris like a stone through glass.
Huh? Mark blinked, his mind struggling to process what had just happened. And then he saw her.
“K-Katrina?”
Standing where Hendrik had been moments before was Katrina, her fist still raised.
“Come on, up you go,” she muttered, yanking Ria to her feet.
He stumbled over, his steps unsteady. “Wah ... What are you doing here?”
“Figured you idiots might need my help.”
He let out a disbelieving laugh, shaking his head. “I’ll say.” He turned to Ria. “You okay?”
