Ifrit: "You're such an interesting specimen Elias. You managed to actually burn me with your flames."
Ifrit dashed forward with a flaming arm. He swung it sending an outlandish wave of flame and heat. Elias brought his clawed hand forward and blocked the wave. Ifrit stood astonished, the flames he just sent were being absorbed into Elias's hand. The flaming claws grew larger, and more flames appeared in clawed shapes around his feet.
Ifrit: "That Soul Binder stuff is seriously deadly. Look, there is skin missing on my hand from where you burned me!"
Elias sped forward and launched a downward kick. Ifrit raised an arm to meet his leg. As they collided a large burst of flamed propelled Elias's leg harder against ifrit. Burns appeared on Ifrits arm, and he was being shoved into the ground. The area started breaking apart. Elias jumped back and took up a more animalistic stance on all fours. He was surprised to see Ifrit gone. Suddenly, Ifrit was behind him and threw a fiery punch. Elias blocked with his fiery claws, then kicked out Ifrits leg making him lose balance. Elias uppercut him with a fiery propulsion making the hit harder. Ifrit was thrown upwards from it, but he quickly recovered. He wiped his mouth of the blood and came to Elias again. He grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward and then headbutted him into the ground.
Ifrit: "This side of you is so boring. It's so… animalistic. I thought better of you, but if you won't humor me with some banter then I guess I must end this quickly!"
Ifrit suddenly propelled himself into the air with bursts of flame from his feet and begins to generate an inferno at his hand. Elias got up and shook his head, he immediately jumped back. Elias started raising his body temperatures again. Flame began encasing more of his body. Wings of flame sprouted and the flamed covered his arms and legs. By the time Elias had finished, Ifrit had created an Inferno at least twice the size of his previous.
Ifrit: "I've had my fun with you Elias! It must unfortunately come to an end. This Inferno should take you and your friends out in one fell swoop! Don't try running either, you won't make out of its radius."
Ifrit launched it down at Elias. He stood looking back at the area his friends were in then to the raging ball of flame and earth. He flew up into the air and decided to meet it head on. As it slammed into Elias he tried to slow it, He began absorbing it little by little. It wasn't enough as he was about to touch ground. He started expelling the magic flames he was absorbing to propel himself against the ball. Elias yelled with all his might as Ifrit watched the struggle. Eventually it grew small, comparable to the previous one. Despite this it still crashed into the earth with Elias between the two. Ifrit went back to the ground; he turned to head away. Just then he felt a spike of magic in the air. He turned and what he witnessed shocked him to the core. Elias, albeit covered in burns, walked from the fire. His own dark red flames covered his body. They ended in claws on his hands and feet and wings of flame sprouted out of his back. His torso was covered in flames resembling a mix between armor and scales. What Ifrit truly saw was a dragon born from the flames of his destruction.
Ifrit: "You truly are special… Just like the Cardinal Disasters themselves… Show me the strength of a dragon… Elias"
Elias suddenly flew forward grabbing Ifrit by the throat burning him and shoving him into the ground.
Elias: "Shut up and die."
Ifrit: "HAHAH! YES, ELIAS THIS IS WHAT I WANT!"
Ifrit grabs Elias's wrist and pulls him below him. He begins pummeling him into the ground with fiery fists. Elias grabbed his fist mid strike and throws a clawed hook. They take turns throwing blows. They go from the ground to the air. Ifrit grabs him and swings him to the ground, but Elias stops before hitting the ground. They both send out huge plumes of Fire, clashing with intensity. Suddenly, Elias flies through the fire tackling Ifrit. He tries to elbow Elias off but instead Elias ignites them both and they go crashing into several ruined buildings. The building ruins were vaporized from the combined heat of them both on impact. They both stand the soot burning right off them. Elias's uppercuts Ifrit in the gut causing him to cough up blood. Ifrit recovers quickly though kicking him back. His vision was starting to get blurry, and he had a hard time keeping up with Elias newfound speed. Elias kept flying in and out tagging him each time. Elias flew in with a knee to Ifrits' chin and he falls over. Elias lands on top of him and starts throwing fiery clawed fists. As Elias threw his punches, They started getting slower and weaker. Suddenly Ifrit catches a fist and slowly pushes it back. The flames around Elias' body start dissipating.
Elias: 'Gabriel! What's happening!?'
Gabriel: 'Your body is overheating, its starting to burn up from the inside out.'
Elias: 'Gabriel, I NEED more of that!'
Gabriel: 'Elias your temperatures were comparable to the planet's core.'
Elias: 'Gabriel help me get it back, I'll lose without it!'
Gabriel waits a moment before subtly agreeing. Ifrit grabbed Elias and tossed him several meters before meeting him almost instantly and sending him to the ground with a fiery kick. As ifrit was about to send a huge slam onto Elias he got blown away by a huge burst of fire. Ifrit Gets back up to see Elias standing there like he did with his body surrounded by the dark red fire resembling a dragon. Suddenly Elias jumps forward landing a huge, clawed strike leaving a burning gash across Ifrits chest and ripping the golden chains and necklaces off him. Elias was moving too quickly for Ifrit to catch him at this point. Elias kept landing fiery claws on him leaving large wounds across his body. Ifrit stopped and focused his magic on his hands. He punched himself to the ground and stared at Elias.
Ifrit: "SHAALA GAYYAMA!"
Suddenly a light was appearing through cracks in the ground and the earth started breaking apart. A Huge explosion threw the entire battlefield up and both Ifrit and Elias were caught in the explosion.
