The battle intensified as the fire user, fueled by rage, unleashed three distinct fire abilities in quick succession. First, there was a jet of blue flame, much hotter and more concentrated than anything before, searing the ground and making a barrier of heat around Leo. The second was a wide arc of orange flames designed to encircle and trap him, turning the area into a fiery prison. The third, most devastating of them: a salvo of explosive fireballs, each impact producing scorching heat and pressure, shockwaves tearing through the battlefield.
In the midst of that fiery assault, the invisible foe saw his opportunity and turned upon Leo, his arms encircling him in the grip of an octopus, hampering every movement of the young man and rendering him an easy mark for the ceaseless bombardment of the other with fire.
