Even as the chains crawled up his body and wrapped around his limbs he refused to give up the initiative. Since she had chosen to fight him up close he had been shifting from a pure offensive to a more balanced style exchanging the arm for armor to turn her decision to fight him up close against her. His dogged determination paid off even if he was unaware of the incoming the armor saved him from taking the full brunt of the gambler’s ambush by lessening the impact of the cards. Still it wasn’t perfect. He had still taken all the cards and even though the effect was lessened the attack still hurt. Underneath the armor and his clothes his body was absolutely covered in bruises and other marks from all the attacks he was taking. However the light never left his eyes. They still burned with the same determination that had allowed him to rise up through the ranks and keep his magic under control.<br/><br/>"Stop imagining things, I wouldn't try something like that and I'm nowhere near finished yet." The mage growled. Pushing forward despite his growing damage and fatigue he forced his way through the chains that had bound him however it took a second longer to do so then it had earlier in the fight, a demonstration of his fatigue. It didn’t take him long to retaliate. A wide gout of flames erupted from his arm as it shifted to the arm of a fire demon. Instead of roaring through the air however it accelerated across the ground towards her, the flames devouring whatever green cards remained on the arena floor. If Destiny was going to continue to teleport he was going to make her pay the price for it.<br/><br/>Instead of charging after the fire he waited for her to dodge or teleport away before charging after her. His legs shifting to the faster digitigrade form of the demon Haderechi increasing his speed mid-charge. Once he was in range he ducked low moving into a leg sweep followed by an axe kick from above as he straightened up.
