Alexander's fists slammed into the barrier, the flames scorching his skin, but his expression remained unchanged. He pulled back, his muscles tensing, his eyes locking onto Ty.
Ty's gaze was steady, his breathing even as he watched Alexander. He could see the determination in Alexander's eyes, the unyielding will that drove him forward. Ty's flames swirled around him, the heat intensifying as he prepared for Alexander's next attack.
Alexander moved, his form blurring once again. He closed the distance in an instant, his fist coming down towards Ty. Ty brought his hands up, the flames gathering around him, forming a shield. Alexander's punch connected with the shield, the impact sending a shockwave through the air, the flames flickering.
