Flames Against Steel [2]

Zap—! Zap—!

Thanks to steel being a good conductor of electricity, Clark's body was jolted up and down from the over a thousand volts he received.

He had to thank the short circuit that took place in the whole block, which turned off all the dim lights, leaving the whole hallway dark as the abyss.

Bam—!

Small flames kicked against his face, but all Tito's attack could do was make him come to his senses.

First Burning Kick: Mae Geri!

Feeling the adrenaline pumping in his veins, Tito performed a drop kick to hit the top of Clark's head. However, he was the one who felt the impact of the attack.

First Burning Kick: Kin Geri!!

Not wanting to lose, the man of fire threw a burning side kick at Clark, who had just regained his footing.

Thud—!

However, the man of steel used his elbow to block the attack, performing a right jab on Tito's face after using the fire on the inmate's legs as his source of vision.

Pow—!

Blood sprang out of Tito's nose as the man of steel had done a number on him.

'Damn it!' The man of fire cursed in thought, as he realized that using his ability would turn out to be a disadvantage for him now.

However, using fire was the only way he could damage the man of steel.

Tap, tap, tap...

Making loud footsteps that vibrated through the whole hallway, he rushed over to throw a flaming punch towards Clark's middle chest.

The corrections Chief Officer tried to use his steel fist to block the attack, but the inmate turned a karate chop that went straight to Clark's steel throat.

"Argh!" A groan escaped the man of steel's lips, as the heat on his neck was intense like the flames from hell.

However, it didn't last long, as the inmate's ability turned off thanks to being injured by great stone material before.

Pow—!

Taking this chance, Clark used his knee to kick Tito in the gut before using his left arm to launch a lead hook on the golden-eyed man's cheeks, sending him flying into the cell bars outside.

Thud—!

Tito landed on the ground with his face, and Clark had to just follow the sound thanks to all the light bulbs being off.

Pu—!

Tito spit out the little blood in his mouth as he tried to lift himself up. However, such a small action sold him to the prison guard.

Clack set a spinning heel kick aiming to pulverize Tito's face, but the man of fire turned himself into flames to dodge before materializing once again.

"..."

The prison guard had no choice but to remain silent as he could no longer hear Tito's movements, as he blended nicely with the surrounding fighting sounds.

The air had become thick with blood from all the battles taking place. His only option to fight Tito would be if he used his ability.

'I am sure that idiot would never attack me without activating his ability.'

Just as expected, a flying kick came aiming for his spiky fish scale upper body. Clack didn't feel the need to block.

That being said, Tito used his leg as support to throw blocks of ice from the nearby refrigerator over to Clark's face.

"What the hell?!" The prison guard exclaimed in shock, as he did not expect to see such a cowardly and stupid act.

Nonetheless, Tito threw a flaming punch towards Clark's nose, twisting it to the side.

"Ahhhh!" Clack groaned in pain, giving Tito the chance to turn his middle finger into a screw that gouged out his right eye.

"Ahhhh!!"

Clack's loud roar cracked part of the ceiling, as he used his hands to throw the man of fire away from him like a fly.

However, Tito turned himself into fire to avoid the impact before making himself touchable like a rock.

"You cowardly bastard! I will kill you!!"

Clack's yell was filled with malevolence, and just a second after, he rushed over to perform a cross cut at Tito's left temple.

Whoosh—!

Tito evaded the attack by turning his head into flames and swiftly acted by throwing a flaming roundhouse kick towards Clark's throat.

Klang—!

Despite the killing heat on his neck, the man of steel gathered enough strength to use his free hand to send a fist into Tito's chest.

Thack—!

Crack—!

The man of fire gritted his teeth as he felt some of his ribs cracking, as he got sent flying towards the dark cell.

Clark cracked his knuckles as he impatiently waited for the cowardly inmate to attack him with angry eyes.

Tap... Tap... Tap...

Hearing Tito's footsteps vibrating throughout the whole hallway, the the prison guard readied himself to perform a spinning kick.

However, unlike what he expected, Tito didn't turn any part of his body into fire as he threw a bucket of ice onto Clark's face, making him shiver from the cold.

Blam—!

Tito didn't waste time. Turning his elbow into blazing blue flames, he crashed over all the spiky fish scales that covered Clark's upper body.

Paw—!

The corrections Chief screamed in agony as he felt like he was being skinned alive when his blue fish scales broke apart like shattered glass.

Thanks to this, his Pisces zodiac ability switched off, leaving his skinny body vulnerable to Tito's kicking.

First Burning Kick: Mawashi Geri

Tito's left leg turned into blue flames, performing a roundhouse kick that clashed against the plastic bucket on Clark's head, sending it flying into the sky like a rugby ball on a conversion.

Thud...

Tito took a sigh of relief as he saw Clark's headless body fall to the ground.

He was able to defeat the corrections Chief Officer thanks to the blocks of ice he threw on his body. Using the heat from his flames, he was able to expedite the process of weathering by shifting between opposite extreme temperatures, which helped in breaking the fish scales.

Be that as it may, Tito didn't have time to celebrate his victory. An unexpected person called out his name from behind.

"Tito Roux Z."

"...Hein Malvado."
