Chapter 14: Elemental

Isaiah knew that he wouldn't be able to go on the offense until he got access to some weapons, so he decided to go on the defense and make this a match of stamina.

"Do you think going to the air will make you harder to hit? You've definitely become an easier target to hit now." Titus said with a baffled look on his face.

Titus begins to conjure multiple fireballs above his head.

Before Titus could make any more than he had, Isaiah began to raise his right hand.

"You don't just expect me to just let you pull off some insane move, do you?" Isaiah says as he releases a telekinetic force from his hand to push Titus.

It was enough to force to send Titus to fly in the air, his head pointing towards the ceiling.

"What did I just get hit with? It felt like I just got hit with a truck." Titus thought while in the air.

Isaiah sees an opening and bliz Titus while he's in the air and can't move. Before Isaiah could strike, Titus did a backflip by sending flames to the bottom of his feet and used it like jet boots.

"I'm not done yet," Isaiah said, winding up his fist

Isaiah is still committed to the attack and doesn't pull his punch. However, Titus still manages to protect the incoming blow by crossing his arms around his chest.

The punch Isaiah gave was heavy. Titus' body went down to the ground much faster. His body hits the ground, and a smoke cloud appears as he hits the ground.

Isaiah, still floating in the air, waits for the dust to settle. "No way that was enough to take him out." Isaiah thinks to himself.

"I underestimated you. That was a solid counterattack you threw at me." Titus said as the dust began to settle. Under Titus was a smaller crater in the ground. Yet only Titus's lower half was dirty.

"Which also means that attack didn't make him fall or stagger," Isaiah said to himself.

Titus dusted himself off. "This normally takes 5 fireballs, but 3 will have to do," Titus said to himself.

Titus takes the 3 fireballs he managed to save, puts them in a triangle, and rotates them. They started moving so fast in a circle it looked like a ring. Before he sends it to Isaiah, he puts a closed fist in line with his mouth and blows. Flames come out like a flamethrower.

The flamethrower hits the spinning ring, and it turns into a Flame tornado. Titus turns and sees Isaiah still floating near the ceiling.

"You can't escape now, Greenwood. The temperature of this dome is going to skyrocket. Even if the tornado doesn't hit you," Titus said with a smirk.

"Aren't you frying yourself as well? So you'll cook too." Isaiah says as an argument.

"I'm the Elemental Human. Which means I'm fire itself. There is no way I can get burned." Titus said, laughing.

"That does explain why he used his flame abilities so quickly. He would be a master Mage if he could do that that fast." Isaiah thought to himself.

The Flame tornado was 10 feet tall and 3ft wide. Titus controlled the tornado and made it hit Isaiah, who was still in the air.

Isaiah begins to lose control and spend along with the speed of the tornado.

"Now you can spin and burn, just like a corndog," Titus says with a chuckle.

Inside the Flame Tornado- "While I may be fine inside this thing, I'll start to get dizzy after about 3 mins. Isaiah thought.

"Only physical attacks will work on him, and now that I know he's a human Elemental, my plan should work perfectly," Isaiah said with a smile.

"That's weird. Normally people scream and yell when there is a flame tornado. Maybe I should speed it up and turn up the heat." Titus said as he put more Mana into the tornado.

The Tornado starts spending and giving off a lot more heat.

"Are you not going to stop him? The match is clearly over, and Titus is overdoing it. Lia complained to Mr. De Rossi

"Let wait a few more minutes. I want to see something," Mr. De Rossi said

"If it doesn't, I'll have to do it myself," Lia said under her breathe

The tornado was now 15 feet high and 5 feet wide. It was close to the 20-foot ceiling. As soon as Titus stopped putting his mana into it, there was a break in the tornado, which made it stop.

Isaiah had used his telekinesis to push in the opposite direction of the tornado to stop it.

Isaiah was now using the speed of the dissipating tornado to propel himself towards Titus.

"Block this!" Isaiah shouted. As he punches Titus with his literal 0-degree punch.

Isaiah punches Titus in the center of his chest. This time he was moving a lot faster, and Titus couldn't react in time.

Titus threw up blood once Isaiah's fist made contact. They were both in a crater on the edge of the arena dome, on the same side as everyone else. Isaiah stood over Titus, who was trying to catch his breath.

"Stay away from Lia. Let's not have this conversation again." Isaiah said with a serious face and his eyes glowing green.

From Titus' perspective, Isaiah looked at him like he was so much of a higher being that killing him would be like walking on an ant and killing it by accident. From that point on, Titus knew how much of a monster Isaiah really was.

Mr. De Rossi dropped the dome and said. "I probably should have stopped it sooner, but it got too interesting."

As they are being approached by everyone, Isaiah immediately helps Titus, and his eyes stop glowing.

" Aww, look, he's a good sport," Kat says, referring to Isaiah.

"I try to be. Anyway, thanks for going easy on me, Titus," Isaiah said

Titus makes a confusing face

"Oh yea, no problem, you really help me with a little workout," Titus said, trying to sound convincing.

Isaiah smiles at everyone until he sees Lia, and she mouths the words. "I saw that."

Which makes Isaiah inwardly panic.
