Tibaut ran into him as soon as he did this for another strike to the face but Cormac moved his head just enough for the strike to miss and hit the part of his helmet covering his forehead.

He felt an odd sensation and backed quickly for only his shirt to get ripped when Cormac swiped at him.

("I've been noticing this since earlier but this guy isn't as quick as us. If he was I'm pretty we'd all be dead by now. But so what if I have the speed advantage? If I can't hurt the bastard then this doesn't mean shit.")

As he thought about hurting him, an idea came into his mind and he began summoning fireballs while keeping his distance from Cormac. Cormac fruitlessly tried to at least grab him and finally got a hand on his hair. As he prepared to slam him into the ground, he realized something was wrong as he swung his arm. As he looked into his hand and noticed a terrible smell he realized he had burnt his hair to get out of his grip.

Tibaut jumped away before unleashing his fireballs and the ground around and ran over to his group watching this ordeal.

"Hey, what the hell is this Disiponium you guys keep talking about?" Tibaut was hunched over, heavily breathing when he asked this.

"You don't know what Disi-"

In a rare instance, it was Jake who was cutting someone else off.

"It's that metal in Elizabeth's sword! (Well, hers is an alloy but this should get the idea across)"

"(Really? No wonder his armour did what her sword was doing in our first fight.) What does it do!" Tibaut said hearing some running behind. He turned around and began running back towards Cormac.

"It, uh, disperses magic back to mana!!!" He shouted at Tibaut.

"(That's what it does?) That's all?" He shouted back as Cormac moved to grab him.

"YES!!!" Jake shouted as he and Albus ran away to ensure their distance.

He shot a fire lance in the giant's face and the giant reeled back before stomping the floor and causing both of them to stumble with their footing now uneven. With how much they both had been abusing the floor (Mostly Tibaut) in this space he was surprised there was still so much flat ground in there.

The giant threw himself in a tackle towards Tibaut but he narrowly managed to drop flat on the floor and Cormac soared over him while trying his best to grab him.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

As Tibaut and Cormac continued their stalemate, the other three stared in amazement.

("With the beating he took, I'm kind of amazed he can still move like that.") Jake thought as he watched on. Something about the air around the room seemed different to Albus; he was sure he was imagining it. He turned to Avis, helping her stand up.

"How's your legs?" Albus asked as he stared at them. Cormac had managed to tear the front of her skirt with the force he struck with.

Her legs seemed shaky and she visibly winced when she lifted them up and down.

"The only thing I can confirm is, they're still in one piece."

"How good can you move?"

"I'm positive I can keep up with that giant oaf."

"You sure?" He asked with some worry in his voice.

"Don't underestimate me brat. I'm capable of more than just babysitting you." She said in a venomous tone. Albus didn't have to turn to her to feel the bloodlust she was exerting. He turned to her and saw eyes that wanted nothing more than bloodshed. They weren't cold, they were blazing with hatred. He had a gentle smile when he saw her like this.

"(It's been years since she called me that.) Alright. Also." he looked at Jake before lowering his voice and whispering, "Don't hold back. You can kill him for all I care."

She reached into her pocket and pulled out gloves before pulling strings she had kept in a closed pouch.

"(Tsk, I only bought this one) Don't worry, I would kill him even if you told me not to."

She walked away awkwardly before committing to a full sprint. This was short-lived however as she noticed Tibaut create a giant fireball above him.

"Has he gone insane?" She wondered as she stopped.

"Is trying to cave the place in?" Albus shouted as he watched.

("He has a plan right?") Jake thought.

As Tibaut held it above him, even the giant was too intimidated to take a step.

("So that armour only disperses magic right? Then all I have to do is this.")

The fireball soon lost its shape and like a scarf unravelled before being wrapped in the space they were both occupied.

Cormac wasn't sure what the point of this was and rushed at Tibaut. Tibaut began circling around him, ensuring neither of them left the fire veil he had created. Cormac got annoyed and attempted to stomp on the floor before he realized he was winded. But this wasn't from running around, the powder he took ensured he could comfortably fight for an hour straight.

("It works!") Tibaut celebrated as he saw this.

It was the heat. The inside of Cormac's armour had now become a makeshift steamer with how hard he was sweating. He ran at Tibaut some more before realizing with his current speed this wasn't going to work. He ran towards the flame veil itself in an attempt to escape.

("You're not getting out that easy you bastard.")

He shot a fireball at the ground and Cormac fell to the ground. Tibaut saw this as an opportunity to get some damage on his face but the man unashamedly crawled out before he could get him. The fire that touched his armour dispersed and left a giant hole in the veil.

Tibaut clicked his teeth before taking it down.

The giant gasped for air before getting back up to his feet.

("Damnit, how am I gonna keep him in it for long enough?") Tibaut wondered.

In the moments Cormac lay on the floor to recuperate, he prepared another giant fireball. Cormac then stood and did the unexpected. He spared no time jumping into it.
