Previous Scene [You can skip]

"Give up! You can't win!" Ivan roared triumphantly, his voice echoing with confidence and the crackling of flames

However, the Sinner refused to yield. With sheer determination, she tapped into her own power. Suddenly, her entire body ignited with vibrant green flames, matching Ivan's intensity and pushing back against his spiraling flames. The clash of their energies created a dazzling spectacle, illuminating the forest with a surreal glow of fire and determination.

Ivan, momentarily froze by the sudden surge of green flames, hesitated for a brief moment. Fear crept into his voice as he struggled to comprehend the power he faced.

"The flames—The Green flames," he stammered, Memories swirling in his mind. -Who are you.??

"Who are you - Are you her?" Ivan's voice trembled with a mix of anger and confusion as he faced the masked Sinner.

The Sinner remained silent, her eyes hidden behind the mask, giving nothing away.

Ivan's frustration grew. "Don't play dumb with me! Answer me!" he shouted. She stayed silent, her head down. "If you don't want to talk, I will make you."

He launched a fiery punch at her. The Sinner dodged and countered with a swift kick to his ribs, but Ivan barely flinched. He wasn't trying to fight her; he was trying to remove her mask.

Flames erupted from Ivan's hands, the intense heat scorching the ground beneath him. He surged forward with the force of a raging inferno, his fists ablaze with his signature technique, *Inferno Strike*. The Sinner narrowly evaded his assault, her movements fluid and precise.

I felt this power before,Ivan thought, his mind racing. I hope it's not her.

The forest around them transformed into a blazing battleground, trees igniting and the air thick with smoke. Animals scattered in terror, and birds took flight to escape the spreading fire. The sounds of flames clashing were like the roars of mythical beasts, each impact shaking the very earth.

The Sinner responded with a restrained burst of her green flames, matching his intensity but not unleashing her full power. She spun gracefully, her flames creating a barrier against Ivan's attacks. The contrast between her control and his raw power was stark.

Ivan gritted his teeth, his anger fueling his flames. "You Sinners are all the same! Spreading chaos and destruction wherever you go. I will end you all!" he yelled, launching himself at her with another powerful *Inferno Strike*.

She dodged, but he followed up with *Flame Burst*, sending a wave of fire from his outstretched palms. The Sinner countered with her green flames, the two forces clashing and creating a dazzling explosion of blue fire that spread through the forest, intensifying the inferno.

Ivan's shirt began to burn to ashes as it fell from the heat, revealing his muscular body filled with scars. He spat out saliva mixed with blood and charged at her again, his determination unwavering. "I'll burn you down along with all the Sinners!" he roared.

He executed *Flame Whirlwind *, spinning in place and generating a cyclone of fire around him. The Sinner struggled to keep her footing, her movements hampered by the intense heat and pressure. Ivan's eyes blazed with fury as he continued his assault.

The Sinner managed to break free, her green flames pushing back against his. She used her agility to dodge his attacks, but Ivan's relentless pursuit left her with little room to maneuver. She knew she couldn't use her full power without risking severe harm to him, but Ivan's relentless onslaught forced her to defend herself.

Ivan unleashed *Flame Vortex *, creating a spiraling column of fire that engulfed the area around them. The Sinner countered with a controlled burst of green flames, meeting his attack head-on. The collision of their powers sent shockwaves through the forest, their power wall head-on generating blue flames spreading further and devouring everything in the forest.

Why won't she fight back with her full power? Ivan thought, frustration mounting. Is she underestimating me?

He attacked her with * Flame Fist Barrage *, a rapid series of flaming punches aimed at her mask. The Sinner deflected most of his blows but took a few hits, causing her to stagger. Ivan pressed his advantage, pouring all his energy into his attacks.

Now I will prove to those losers how strong I am after finishing all of you Sinners,Ivan thought.

The Sinner's eyes flickered with something unspoken as she defended against his relentless assault. She sidestepped his next punch and countered with a sweeping kick, but Ivan caught her leg, twisting her around and slamming her into the ground. She coughed up blood but quickly rolled away, regaining her stance.

Ivan's flames intensified, his rage fueling his power. He executed * Flame Phoenix *, a technique that summoned a roaring phoenix made of fire to attack his opponent. The Phoenix went attacking at the Sinner, who narrowly avoided its jaws and retaliated with a controlled burst of green flames. The clash created an explosive shockwave, turning the forest into a hellscape, the ground blackened and the air filled with choking smoke.

Ivan's breathing was labored, but his determination remained unshaken. "Come on, give me more of that! Show me your full power!" he shouted, launching himself at her again.

The Sinner, though holding back, could feel the strain of the fight. She knew she couldn't keep this up without risking serious harm to Ivan. She met his next attack with a defensive burst of green flames, the collision sending them both skidding backward.

Ivan coughed out blood from his mouth, his eyes blazing with hatred. "You think you can just hide behind that mask?" he roared, gathering all his remaining strength.

He launched himself at her with a final, desperate attack, his body a blur of fire and fury. His fist, glowing with fiery intensity, connected with her mask in a powerful strike. The mask cracked, and with a roar, Ivan unleashed * Flame Burst *, the force shattering the mask completely.

Rain began to fall, cooling the scorching earth and dripping from his hair into his eyes, followed by claps of thunder. The sudden downpour extinguished the surrounding flames, the smoke dissipating as the forest began to breathe again

The Sinner fell to the ground, her mask broken, and Ivan stood over her, panting heavily. The flames around them began to die down, leaving behind a smoldering wasteland. He looked down at the Sinner, his heart pounding in his chest

As the rain washed away the spoot and the blood. Ivan eyes widened in shock and recognition. "R-Rebecca?"
