[@floodtalon] & [@Dash375] & [@BranchOfSin] & [@Slendy] & [@Eklispe] Chase shot upwards with a sudden burst of speed, giving neither Marcus nor Liz a chance to touch her. Once she was about twenty-five meters into the air, the golden mage shook her head. [color=gold]"You're all acting a bit hasty now aren't you?"[/color] she said almost sardonically. Chase gave a few sparing glances to Ryan and Deus, but it looked like her interest lay mostly in Liz and Marcus. [color=gold]"Hm~ How nice - magic nullification and another who dares challenge me with my most beloved element. Very well, I candidly accept."[/color] Meruin arrived at around the same time as Liz did, and grabbed Marcus hurriedly. "Get away!" she shouted. Chase lifted two fingers to point to the sky, and quite suddenly, it exploded. No, that was no exaggeration. The sky turned a searing bright red for a moment before it erupted - all of it - into a bright flame. The heat all around them went up by several degrees, and the heat distorted objects in the distance, giving them a vaguely illusory quality. Chase grinned. [color=gold]"As of now, your oxygen supply is slowly disappearing, and any magic that you throw around won't leave a trace once it's destroyed. I recognize that tactic boy, it's one of Reina's trademarks,"[/color] said Chase looking at Ryan. [color=gold]"Don't think I'll let you have it so easy. Now, as for the firebrand-girl . . ."[/color] Chase pointed a single finger at her from the sky, and a whirling mass of energy and heat gathered around her finger, while the area around Liz suddenly began snowing, and ice began frosting over around Liz. [color=gold]"I'll give you a warning shot."[/color] A thin beam of red shot out from her finger, right towards Liz. It didn't hit her, and it landed quite far from her actually, but the massive explosions shock waves could certainly be felt from that distance. By massive explosion, we would like to put an emphasis on 'MASSIVE' and 'EXPLOSION', by the way. The ground where Liz once stood near by has now become unusable. The explosion has died, but the oppressive flame still remains. Going through there without protection insures acute pain.
