Back to the second floor of the tomb. Rebecca and Sally have started their battle with the twins. The dark red-haired twins were spewing out massive flames towards Rebecca and Sally.
But for some reason, the flames stopped before reaching Rebecca and Sally. The ginger woman looked at them confused. As one of the twins sprinted through the fire and threw a punch at Sally.
The punch hit Sally, but she blocked it. Sally turns her body with the punch lessening the damage before throwing a jab. The jab snaps the twin's head back before Sally throws an uppercut that slips through his guard.
Sally lands a combination of punches on the man before he spins through throwing a kick that slams into Sally's stomach sending her shoes skidding across the stone floor.
Blood starts to drip down the twin's face before he dashes back gaining distance and comes to a stop next to his brother. He looks at his twin before talking.
" Kire. That girl's hand-to-hand is not half bad. "
Said the man who had just fought Sally. Kire nodded his head before responding.
" That's fine just make sure to end this quickly. We can't have their teammate return. Also Lire, make sure to watch out for the ginger woman. I'm expecting her to make a move."
Lire nodded his head, as he sprinted towards Sally. Lire appeared in front of Sally in a split second with his fist tightly balled. He throws a punch that Sally blocks. Sally throws a high kick that slams into Lire's face.
Lire's head is rocked back as he stumbles back while extending his right palm at Sally. Lire's eyes turn cold as fire spreads across his palm. Sally crosses her arms as a huge spew of fire engulfs her body. Rebecca stares at the flames in shock until she sees an orange energy barrier form as the smog clears.
The ginger woman is standing behind Sally with her arm over Sally's right shoulder pointing towards Lire. She formed an energy barrier that blocked the attack. Rebecca takes a deep breath of relief until she senses someone standing behind her. Rebecca spins around before a mighty punch slams into her chin sending her twirling through the air.
Rebecca lands on the ground back first, with half of her face bruised from a single punch. She pushes up off the ground with her hands before gingerly standing back up, wobbling.
" Oh? A single punch from me did all of that to you? Well, looks like we've got ourselves a fair fight, don't you think woman?"
Said Kire with a cocky grin on his face. He points his palm toward the bloody Rebecca shooting out a massive blast of fire. Rebecca looks at the blast approaching her calmly.
In a swift motion, Rebecca raises her hand towards the blast. And starts manipulating the oxygen around the approaching fire trying to distinguish the fire before it reaches her. The oxygen starts to be removed from the fire.
But the fire doesn't distinguish, catching Rebecca off guard. As she dashes to the right, narrowly avoiding the fire blast. The fire blast crashes into the pillar but Rebecca hears no noise as the fire randomly disappears.
Rebecca stares at Kire with a confused expression until a grin appears on her face. Rebecca has figured out the man's ability. Rebecca continues to stare at the man as Sally and the ginger woman are in close combat.
Lire is being pushed back by Sally and the ginger woman's barrage of attacks. The attacks are so out of sync that Lire cannot predict the next move. A punch slams into Lire's jaw as an orange barrier forms around him.
Lire looks around before smacking his lips and dashing out of the barrier. When the barrier surrounds Lire. He can't use his fire.
Lire blocks a kick from Sally. Before pointing his left hand at Sally, he shoots out a barrage of flames. The flames fly inches out into the air before a barrier surrounds Lire's hand. Lire's face grows annoyed as he glares at the ginger woman while canceling his flames. Lire dashes towards the ginger woman.
Lire takes a few steps toward the ginger woman until Sally cuts him off slamming a knee into his chest before throwing a right hand into his face. A cut forms under Lire's right eye before he grabs Sally's hair and headbutts her in the face, busting open her nose.
Sally stumbles back until she regains her balance and throws a low kick that slams into Lire's calf. Lire staggers from the kick until the ginger woman circles him and slams her fist into his side.
Lire leans over in pain until suddenly his body flickers, disappearing, being replaced by a stone pillar. Sally and the ginger woman's eyes widen from his disappearance until they feel a figure past them.
Sally turns around and stares at Kire. In a few seconds Lire appears next to him. Rebecca looks over at Sally before gesturing for her to come towards her by wagging her fingers.
Sally nods and sprints towards Rebecca. The ginger woman stares at Sally running and decides to follow her. Both Sally and the ginger woman come to a stop standing next to Rebecca. Rebecca looks at them before talking.
" Hey, I figured something out. After fighting Kire or whatever his name is, I'm about 90% sure his ability is related to illusions. Because the fire he uses doesn't emit any heat and when his fire blast hit the pillar behind me, it didn't scorch or melt the stone. "
" Looks like you idiots have figured it out pretty quickly. But does it truly matter? Do you even know if you are truly talking to me right now? "
Said Kire with a grin. As Lire extends his palm towards the group of women. His palm starts to catch fire. He licks his lips as he slowly closes his palm compacting the flames into a small ball.
The ball of flames turns into a bright blue color. The heat from the flames increased dramatically. The floor under Lire started to melt. Dripping hot magma onto the third floor. A hole starts burning through the stone floor.
"Kire get ready. "
Says Lire looking at Kire. Kire nodded before doing a circular motion with his index finger. Everyone's eyes widened as the pillars in the tomb started to move, dragging across the floor. The pillars spun around each other. Rebecca and the others knew the moving pillars were just an illusion. Yet it was still insanely disorienting.
Their eyes started to become hazy as they tracked the moving pillars with their eyes. Rebecca stared at a single moving pillar until the feeling of intense heat approaching made her eyes look forward.
The color of bright blue was mere centimeters away from her face. Before Rebecca could react Lire fired his blue ball of flames at her. Rebecca tried to control the flames using her ability but it was too late.
The flames engulfed her body scorching her skin. Rebecca gritted her teeth in pain as the feeling of her skin being burnt and peeled off rippled through her body. Rebecca could barely stay awake due to the pain.
Rebecca stumbled back as Lire jumped through the blue flames throwing a punch. The punch slipped through Rebecca's guard and slammed into her right socket shattering her skull. Rebecca's body was sent skidding across the floor.
Rebecca was knocked out cold. As Sally and the ginger woman stared Lire next to them was also covered in burns. Sally threw a punch at Lire until his body suddenly morphed into the ginger woman.
Sally watched in shock as her punch slammed into the ginger woman's face rocking her head back. Before Sally could turn around a kick slammed into her gut kicking her back.
Blood poured out of her mouth until Sally realized the pillars had started to spin around them again. She tried her hardest not to focus on the pillars. As Lire slammed his heel into the ginger woman's jaw knocking her unconscious. Her body flopped onto the melting floor face first.
Sally locked eyes with Lire trying not to focus on the pillars. Until a voice suddenly spoke from behind her. Catching her completely off guard.
" You need to pay attention to your surroundings. Idiot. "
Sally jerked her head back and watched as the pillar behind her morphed into Kire. Kire grinned at her as Sally watched in shock noticing a hole in her side. Blood poured out of her side as she collapsed onto the ground...
