Disapproval

After a few close exchanges without each combatant landing significant damage on one another, one of Xoz'gekal's vulture flame boosted punch finally lands squarely on Fumios torso.

*Fwahh*

Fumio's body is immediately wrapped in flames. Through his crossed arms, he tries to look through the flames to give Xoz'gekal a look of defiance.

Xoz'gekal takes Fumio's momentarily limited field of vision, and rains more flame boosted strikes on the cultivator.

Fumio tries to retreat, but blindly dodging attacks from a fighter much more experienced than he is, is useless. After a few more consecutive hits from Xoz'gekal, the flames accumulate until he is encased inside a huge ball of very condensed fire, even hotter than the ones he endured from the demon during his training.

Xoz'gekal meanwhile, clicks his tongue. Even though he can see that Fumio is struggling and is in pain, he knows of Fumio's physique. He knows that Fumio cannot be taken down yet.
