The Annoying Malcom

"No, but you will die! Twin Suns!" Skyler yelled as she glared at Malcom murderously. She then lit both of her hands, and instantly a very intense fire responded.

Skyler launched a huge attack that swept Malcom's figure as well as everything else around him.

When the smoke lessened at the landscape, all she saw was a long plain burned to the brim. Everything was full of soot and fire, and her hands were numb from that great power.

Skyler looked at everything with a frown as she could not see Malcom. She was contemplating on her destruction in the place.

"If you hit me again, I would be dead!"

She heard him say teasingly before he laughed. It was clearly coming from outside the sphere.

Malcom was still alive, and he sounded all fine.

Meanwhile, in the box of Virtues…

"Guys, you will love the east!" Jonah said loudly while clapping.

Mabel looked at him with a small smile. She was amused to see him as happy as ever.

"You haven't won yet!" Maximo rebutted.

Jonah kept laughing, and without taking his eyes off the screens in the stadium, he said, "What are you talking about? You said that the boy would die in the first attack."

When Jonah said that, he pointed with his palm to the podium where the two young people were touching the bio-sphere and said, "She attacked. He is still alive. That means you, lost friend."

"You said six attacks," Maximo responded, giving the least importance to what Jonah said. He then added, "Or do you need me to remind you that two attacks are closer to number one than six?

Jonah chuckled before he looked at Mabel knowingly.

"You are a terrible loser, Maximo," Jonah shrugged his shoulders before continuing, "but it's fine. I will continue your game."

"It's not a game," Satin intervened. "That tadpole's luck will run out soon."

"Maybe you want to help Maximo," Jonah snorted and then glanced at Satin. "What if I win you take my place? East is good for wild animals Satin."

The beast-man was silent before the possibility of being the one who had to leave the capital, but before he could respond, Maximo took Jonah's word.

"That's an excellent idea," Maximo thoughtfully said as if he was really considering that idea.

Satin looked at Maximo with unmasked disbelief. But the other did not give him the slightest glance.

"It does not matter! Skyler will incinerate him soon," Satin said unhappily before holding his armrest tightly. He was trying to suppress his annoyance.

In the Bio-dimension…

"Will you spend the whole fight hiding?!" Skyler yelled with unhidden impatience. She was feeling frustrated, and it was the first time Skyler felt that way.

The young man smiled. At that moment, Malcom was gathering the cards that he needed for his next attack at that time.

He then took out a card with an image of himself, activated it by making a clone identical to his appearance.

"There! I am going to attack you, girl," Malcom said as he runs full speed towards Skyler. He placed another card with a huge door right in front of it, then said brightly, "Try not to embarrass yourself this time!"

Skyler furiously placed herself on guard, preparing for what would happen. She knew Malcom's fighting style, but his tactics never seemed to be a threat in the mind of the girl.

She thought that many of his tactics were based on waiting for the opponent to desperately attack so that he fell into his trap, but this time it was not like that.

This time Malcolm was taking the initiative against her.

He cornered her.

'You won't surprise me again!' Skyler thought deeply as she breathed hard, trying to calm down.

Malcom tried to win with creative attacks that she had never seen, and that would cause her to make mistakes.

He appeared through the grove to the right of the girl running in her direction. Looking at it, she couldn't understand what kind of attack this would be, but there was no point in trying to decipher it.

The girl lit her right hand on fire and shot a huge fireball that bridged the distance between them in a second.

Before the fireball enveloped Malcom, he threw the card that the real Malcom had given him, and an infinity of flames enveloped the clone until it disappeared while the card he threw landed at Skyler's feet.

The young woman looked at the card with curiosity while in the forest. Malcom opened the door that he had conjured.

At that moment, the card at Skyler's feet glowed, and the door swung open in an instant.

Right on the ground, an open door appeared, and in it, shown Malcom's smiling face.

"Bye, girl!" he said brightly before throwing another card swiftly.

Malcom tossed the card through the door on the floor towards Skyler's face. Suddenly it shined before becoming a gigantic iron maiden that closed around the young woman.

For a fraction of a second, the oxygen in Skyler's body disappeared.

In her mind, the suffering that this machine would cause was reproduced.

She felt a hint of terrible fear but appeasing it in a fraction of a second, she acted.

Skyler looked in all directions and saw how thousands of needles were directed at her body as that gigantic abomination closed around her, her heart beat with great speed for what could happen to her and conjuring all her power set her body on fire.

It made a gigantic explosion that tore the Iron Maiden into several pieces that shot out across the clearing.

Skyler looked at the ground, and at the door, she saw Malcom's smiling face, who just waved his hand in greeting.

Anger rose throughout her until her veins bulge on her neck. She gritted her teeth and feeling a wave of enormous anger.

She lit her right arm in intense flames and screaming, "You will die!" Skyler threw a gigantic flare in the direction of the door.

Malcom, who kept his smile imperturbable. Was shaking his head from side to side. He then closed the door calmly.

With this, his spell was broken. Skyler's very strong attack just hit the ground.

She tried to maintain her composure, she knew that she was getting carried away by Malcom's provocation attempts, but his face bothered her. At that moment she heard.

"You only know how to shoot fire when you see me, don't you? I thought you would be more threatening. So disappointing from the goddess of fire!"

Skyler's hands trembled with such irregularity that she had to hold them to calm them.

The numbness grew more and more, but anger continued to seize her.

Once again, she conjured twin suns. She prepared to attack the side of the forest from which Malcom's clone had come.

However, a second before throwing it, she changed the target and attacked several meters to the right of where the clone had come out.

In Skyler's mind, anger was predominant. However, her fighting instincts still worked, and no matter how much she wanted to hurt that young man, Skyler had to remember that he was very smart.

Inside the forest, Malcom ran to get away from the point where he was.

He knew that that would be the place where Skyler would surely attack.

However, before he could get away further, he spotted two huge flares. It swiftly moved towards him, and it destroyed everything on its path.

Malcom smiled as he thought, 'This could be the end.'

As the blazing flames got closer, Malcom realized that he had nowhere to escape. There was no alternative route to run or avoid the incoming onslaught.

None of his cards would help him against that devastating power unless he used his last tramp card...
