Bernie sent the rubble to the ocean again. 'So he thinks hiding his appearance will keep us from finding out, to bad I already saw you, Marx.'

Castor put his arm up to shield his face from the rubble and flames, and his eyes from the brightness of the fire. He thought for a moment before hitting the ground with his hand and creating stone armor for himself. Once done with that, he charged at the Fire Mage. If he wasn't going to listen and was just going to attack and possibly kill them, then he'd need to try to knock him out or something. And, unfortunately for Marx, he had no fear of pain or death.

Those portals were really getting on Marx's nerves. He made a mental note to find out who was behind them and shut them down once this fight was over.

Marx watched as Castor covered himself in stone armor. Marx smiled and laughed again, using flames to propel him away from the charging mage. Marx began a sort of dance around Castor, always on the move and always remaining several feet away from him with his fire propulsion. Carefully Marx fired a continuous stream of flame at Castor, only this time he focused less on explosive energy or light, but on heat. The heightened intensity of the heat would turn Castor's stone armor into a stove, baking the mage inside. Occasionally he shot a fireball at the wall of flame, just to make sure the other two mages weren't planning to join in.

Castor frowned as he backed off. He may have no fear of it, but it didn't mean that he liked it. "Ah yes, the tactic used by every Fire Mage I've ever seen." he grumbled. He started peeling off the armor, not taking it off near as quickly as he put it on. He then caused a cactus to shoot up out of the ground behind Marx.

It may be one of the oldest tricks in the book, but it worked. That's why it was still in the book. He couldn't really say he was surprised to find the mage in front of him could molt his armor and create it faster than his heating, he was himself controlling multiple types of flames at once.

What he was surprised about was the cactus he suddenly ran into as he was stepping back from Castor. If his fire armor had been heat based rather than light based, it would've singed away any spikes immediately, but as it was all they did was curl slightly and jab at him as he stumbled into it. Annoyed, he burnt the cactus to a crisp and focused again on Castor.

The answer to quick molting would normally be to lower the spread of his flame and increase the heat intensity to the point where even the molting couldn't handle it, but in this fight there was too much movement for that. Instead Marx kicked at the ground, sending a sheet of heated flame through the rubble they both stood on.

Suddenly the ground underneath Castor's feat exploded, sending rubble flying again. Marx had turned their fight stage into a minefield, exploding the rubble strewn ground to throw Castor off balance, as well as throw burning rubble in his face. Marx continued his stream of intense heat though, even if it wasn't doing much now. he wanted to keep the mage on his toes.

Castor jumped back and forth across the unsteady ground, trying to avoid taking the full force of any of the damage. While doing so, he grabbed at a necklace he was wearing, which began to glow and he began to levitate. "I'm going to have to use all of my tricks to take you out, aren't I?" he asked. Before waiting for an answer, he pulled a ring that didn't match any of the items he had taken from this world's Enchanter from his pocket. It was the one magical item he had kept even in death. A ring made from stone with two faces. He twisted it and a bright pink barrier formed, positioned in a way that seemed reminiscent of the way the oldest-known warriors in the world wore their shields, and the shape confirming it. At the same time, a dark purple club formed in his other hand. Both seemed made of pure energy. He then rushed at Marx faster than he had on the ground, club at the ready to hit him if he got close enough.

At first Marx was very impressed with the mage's fancy new club and shiel, but as Castor flew at him at such speed he found himself caught mostly off guard. Creating an emergency explosion, Marx threw himself backward, away from Castor and avoiding his strike. Marx tumbled along the ground for a distance before propelling himself into the air as well, breathing heavily.

Marx Shot higher into the air, the flames surrounding him multiplying faster than a nest of rabbit on steroids. "You want a trick? have one!" Marx growled. The flames surrounding him broke away from his body, but didn't immediately shoot toward Castor. Instead it writhed and morphed into what was unmistakably a dragon. The dragon roared -which really just sounded like the crackling of lame only louder- and flew toward Castor. His claws and fangs glowed white hot. Unlike the main body, which was practically insubstantial and mainly just a bright mass, the claws and fangs, as well as the fire streaming from the dragon's mouth, was of a deadly heat intensity.

"That's a new one, I'll give you that." Castor said, putting up his shield to block the fire coming from within the dragon's mouth. He then took off away from the dragon before circling back around in an attempt to make Marx hit himself with his own attack. Or stop the attack when he saw what Castor was doing. That would work too.

And he had thought he'd been using old tricks...

Marx watched as the flame dragon rushed after Castor, only to be suddenly rushing directly at Marx. Marx threw up his arms to shield his head- and he passed straight through the dragon, unharmed. By the time he'd come out the other side Marx was no longer pretending to guard himself.

He raised an eyebrow at the mage as if to say, "Did you really think a fire mage would be burned by his own flames?" Though in a moment the expression was replaced with concentration again. The dragon circled back around and bore down on Castor, its claws reaching, its tail, which temporarily glowed white hot as well, swiped at him. but What Marx was mainly focusing on was a second large mass of flame, which was slowly morphing into a second dragon.

Down below, as Marx prepared his second beast, the wall of flame and remnants of his previous fiery attacks died down and mostly vanished so as to conserve Marx's energy.

"Honestly, no, I didn't expect it to work, but I thought there may be a chance and that it was worth a shot." Castor said. He focused on blocking the dragon in front of him before dropping his levitation and opening a portal on the ground that would put him behind Marx. "But then, I have more tricks to use as well." He added, swinging his club and shield both at the Mage.
