But now, scorched and battered, his back against the stone, he realized there was no way out. Not anymore.
The Magus didn't give him time to think.
"Tick tock," he said, lightning flickering between his fingers like playful fireflies. "If you're not going to fight, I'll make this quick."
Inferno roared in defiance. If this was the end, he wasn't going down like this.
Flames erupted around his body. His claws sparked against stone as he launched forward with blistering speed, his horns coated in a mantle of plasma.
CLASH!
The Magus caught the strike with a grin, lightning sparked along his arms. Their powers exploded on contact—fire and lightning tearing through the air in thunderous bursts.
BOOM!
CRACK!
Stalagmites shattered. Stone melted. Inferno swung wildly, claws scorching arcs through the air.
The Magus weaved between them, dodging it all with ease.
"Good," the Magus laughed. "You've got teeth after all."
