With Hakon momentarily off-balance, Kai saw his chance. He launched himself through the mist, his body a blur of fiery red and gold. He slammed into the water node bearer with the force of a meteor, knocking him to the ground. Hakon's eyes went wide with shock and fear as he realized the dragon node bearer was stronger than he had anticipated.
"This isn't over," Hakon gasped, pushing Kai off and scrambling to his feet. His clothes were singed and his skin was red from the burns, but he was not yet defeated.
Frode took the opportunity to conjure a series of illusions around Hakon, making it look like the walls of the room were closing in. The water node bearer's eyes darted around in panic, giving Kai the time to gather his strength.
"Fall back!" Kai bellowed, his voice resonating with power. Frode and Ingrid retreated, their eyes never leaving their opponent. The water around them began to swirl, forming into a tornado.
