Fire + Earth = A FIGHT

Nuria wasn't planning on a fight, so she didn't wear her armor. Cinis the cat was next to her, growling at the elemental across from her. Nuria found an Earth elemental by her, and genuinely intruiged in his fighting capabilities challenged it. The elemental was not on the same level as Nuria herself, so she promised to only use the spells that were on his level, and to give up once she felt weak, because his attacks would do not as much damage to her. She made this fight fair, which wasn't a staple for Nuria to do. This was a gift. For Nuria and for the earth elemental.
Nuria walked around, not phased by the heat around her at all. She was a fire spirit- heat was her ally. While she as a fire spirit could not control magma, it was still easier to bear when it came to the intense heat of a volcano. Nuria petted her cat once, then stepped back.
"You'll sit this one out Cinis. Don't worry about me." she said to the cat before outstretching an arm and hand for the earth elemental to shake.
"Sorry about the whole sudden challenge. Name's Nuria, and I must assure you even though I won't be using all my spells, I still won't hold back and neither should you." Nuria's body changed from orange to all red, and her irises and pupils vanished leaving her eyes only as red sclera. Nuria was ready.

Minh stepped out onto the heated battlegrounds with a jolly look on his otherwise stony face, but he was not at all bothered too much by the intense heat as it was something that he had dealt with many a time while traveling the wide world. He was not at all as young as he realized, holding a more ancient past that was revealed to him on the day he received his earthly power. At this point in time, he was just barely getting used to it all, but he was more than ready for a sparring match with the more experienced fire elemental before him, who look rather cute to him personally.

"Not a problem, I am always willing to spar with such a friendly face like yourself, but I should not be taken too lightly. Only because of your elemental form, will I not be holding back either, but I will warn you that I will not be merciful until it is over..." Minh stated as he shook her hand before taking his place over at the other side of the arena, getting into a battle stance which ended with a heavy stomp that cracked the earth beneath him.

Nuria walked over to her cat once again, and kneeled down and petted it. "Okay Cinis no matter what dont interfere. It's just a small spar, okay? Understand?" the cat meowed and stepped back. Nuria stood up and turned around, then put her hands to her side. Nuria never really learned any fighting styles, she just decided to overpower her opponent with sheet ferocity and strength, and surprisingly unpredictable. This fight would be no different, she'll defeat him no doubt.
"I can give you the first shot, but don't bore me." Nuria laughed as she said this. Despite trying to hold as much calmness and collectiveness in this fight, Nuria wasn't sure if she could hold the fire spirit nature that was within her, and not go up in fury. This would be the future even if it did happen, so she wa fine. Nuria began walking slowly towards Minh, keeping her guard up even with the position not saying so at all. She looked more casual than on-guard, and despite this she still watched around her, and prepared for the first strike.

Minh was not the best of mages in the slightest, but he was no stranger to the arts of hand-to-hand combat and even was well-versed in hand-to-hand combat against weapon users to such a degree that he only found the use of his hands suitable in combat to be the most satisfying in combat and sparring. And now in this sudden duel, he was already analyzing her battle posture with vacant, glowing eyes seemingly darting to a fro to conclude that she was in fact quite ready for a direct engagement. With not another moment's notice later, he went forth.

-Land Shark-


Nuria would see Minh charging up to her in a bullrushing sprint before throwing himself into a sliding kick maneuver at the last second as their neared each other or until Nuria launched a ranged attack at him. Using his heavy, earthen weight alongside his strength to become a surging boulder, Minh sought to smash into her legs to knock her down to end this battle quickly, and if she had throw a ranged attack at him, he evade in one of two ways. Either his sliding maneuver dodged it or his spell would have him sink into the ground, parting it like water to do so while also still impacting into her.

This first attack was one Nuria would normally laugh over. She would, had she been using her regular spell list she'd just punch the boulder and demolish it, or cut it in two. This wasn't the case.
Nuria was surrounded in fire, yelling out "In flamma!" and her legs changed into actual flame, not solidified flame like the rest of her body. This propelled herself up into the air, and she floated 15 meters in the air. Nura put her hand down, and in it appeared a bolt of fire. Bolt of fire, it looked exactly like a bolt of lightning except it was made out of fire. Nuria would then fly towards the earth spirit and once she became close enough would throw the bolt, aiming for his center to pierce his body.

Minh would quickly stops his attack and immediately get up in a ready combative position as he sees Nuria start making her way up into the air. At this point, he was not capable of engaging aerial target just yet with his magic, but he was not without his trick as well. Looking about the place as Nuria formed his bolt, he spotted a pillar that would come in very handy. At the last moment, he would suddenly sink back into earth to move as close as he could to the pillar that he saw, reappearing by the base of the volcanic structure. 

-Earthen Transmission-

Minh would only be there for another mere second before disappearing into it hopefully without Nuria realizing it, but even if she had spotted him, he was sure that she did not know of his intentions. Rather, it was only one intention, and that one was to reappear at the highest point on the pillar he could before jumping off of it with all his strength at Nuria with the slim chance of snagging her. If he missed and fell into the ground, he'd be deep into the earth once more.

Nuria saw him dodge her attack, and move into the earth. He was clearly trying to get away from her, but she couldn't definitely determine where. She raised her body higher in the air, until something tackled her down. Nuria, being more resilient than one would think held him in the air, thinking it best to keep an earth spirit off the earth. Nuria, whilst holding Minh's arms would start to resonate a red aura, then fire would surround her body. Along with this, a lightning aura surrounded her much like the flaming aura and would, and Minh would feel an electrocuting painful sensation. The flame itself wouldn't do damage, but it would weaken any possible attack Minh could throw at her while up in the sky. Nuria, with double her speed flew with Minh higher up in the air, reaching 35 meters quickly. The cat Cinis meowed as if it were cheering for Nuria, but Nuria seemed to be more focused on Minh than her fire cat.

Minh's pain tolerance was ungodly for no reason, he has endured much in preparing this new form of his physically and he was already retaliating despite suffering the heavy electrocutions that could kill a man in an instant. Without even a second to waste, Minh had already wrapped his legs around her body, trapping her arms if possible, but even if she had gotten them lose, he was on her back with legs locking tightly to squeeze like a boa constrictor would if it was made of dense, sheer rock. His arms would work to further disable her by attempting to headlock choke her while his head repeatedly headbutts into hers with hammering force. While keeping a rocky elemental off the ground was a smart move, keeping one on you is a whole matter entirely. As from the looks of it too, Minh was going to be enduring the entirety of the lightning aura in order to keep this advantage of his, and Nuria should not be surprised with the strength that this mage had.

Damage Dealt: You decide a percentage for each melee strike because there will be a lot, and you can decide how many take effect

Nuria had her arms holding Minh by his waist, so the whole arm-restricting didn't truly affect her. She smiled, for he was simply asking for her to get free strikes in by grabbing on and holding her. The electricity was still pulsating through him, but it was slightly weakened. Nuria accepted the bashes to the head, grunting with each one but speaking inbetween them. "Don't....you know.....it's wrong....to hold...a lady like this!?" Nuria let one hand go, still holding Minh with the other. A ball of flame had appeared in that hand, and she pushed the ball into his side. She then let fully go of Minh, considering she had him to hold himself this high. Nuria would begin to elbow his exposed side (the same one that had the fire ball hit it) with her right arm 4 times while using her left hand to begin to unpry his arms from her neck. Cinis began growling, and she began to run around waiting for Nuria to lower herself, for regardless of what Nuria said Cinis was determined to protect her.
________________
Damage from a physical attack is roughly 7%. Lowered by half due to me being C rank that's 3.5. I will accept 6 strikes because no matter what pain tolerance you have, you'll stop hitting your head against mine if I burn you and elbow you while you're being electrocuted, while your arm is still being pried off of mine. Plus headbutting me would also hurt you.

Minh let loose a grunt from all the pain he was receiving from her fireball and followed elbow strikes, but even though he could try to resume doing this tactic, he realized that he needed to switch to something more offensive as this attrition state was not doing it for him. When she stopped her counter attack to begin gripping at his arms, Minh violently let go to throw his arms up while he delivered one last headbutt to the back of her neck this time before following it up by slamming down the two arms he brought up. Using this powerful momentum to throw her down back down, his legs let go at the same time his arms slammed upon her head, and this maneuver would also throw him up while she went down. Because of the shift in position, Minh then curled his legs up to bring it above her head before letting loose a barrage of 4 heel smashes that went up her lower back up to her head which also launched him fully upwards. At this height, a fall would be deadly especially with one of his key recovery abilities still recovering, but it was then that a black figure in a thick cloak appeared to catch the rock man to settle him down upon the ground safely. 

Minh was about to say something about interference before seeing that it was indeed the Shinigami from a time long back then. This figure said that it would only appear during the most dire of times or when something was in need of righting. Then, the earthen male finally realized what was off about what happened up in the air. "What a minute, you are of the Lightning Demon blood are you not...something wasn't right during that engagement and now I know what." Minh said with a tone almost with anger. "If you are to be using such an ability, then so well I....say hello to my Shinigami..." The cloaked figure formed into a humanoid shape of black with a white skull mask, not showing its true form as it floated next to Minh staring back up at Nuria.

Before the barrage of strikes began, Nuria's legs reformed, and she and Minh began falling. While still holding onto Minh's body so she could pulse at least a little more electricity until she saw him about to attack. Fearing the worse of both an attack and a fall she entered her True Flame state, in which she passed through Minh just as the headbutt would hit, and it caused no pain to her. Nuria fell to the ground, and then landed without damage due to her body not feeling physical damage, rendering the fall useless. "Sorry, but I had to use one of my stronger spells. I didn't wanna be kept in that position forever, stinkin' pedo!" Nuria, still wanting a fair fight returned her body to it's solidified form, and watched Minh and the Shinigami up in the air. Nuria smiled over to the cat, who was now staring up at the two in the air with a glare of daggers. "Yo Shinigami. Nice to meet ya. You ever see a cat? Well how about a fire spirit like myself? Ever see both at the same time? Meet Cinis, my cat." Nuria giggled. Cinis jumped into Nuria's arms, and Nuria sat there in a defensive stance with electricity going through her still and the flaming aura still remaining as well.

Minh takes a stance before assessing the situation because he has now getting the full idea of what is going on here. This was not a spar or duel, this was but a facade for the pleasure of a young girl, but that was all fine. He did not wish to give it up to her so easily as it would not be fitting of him to do so with such ease. "Fine, let us play on these grounds...it would be more interesting indeed." Minh said with a calm tone as he looked over her with a feigned grin followed by a pair of eyes glaring at her with amused fury. "Well then, time to resume the...duel.." With that said, he began his final assault.....

-Gaia's Acceleration-

Being only twenty feet away from her with the threshold being easily rushed in his normal state, the earthen man was also aware of her increased speed which he took into account to time his strikes properly to compensate for her heightening reflexes. With that in mind, he nodded to the floating Shinigami. Both of them made their way to her position in less than half a second with Minh coming at her blazing fast, several feet ahead of the Shinigami due to Minh's increased speed who would in the few milliseconds later make its way past her to take position behind her.

However, instead of a ramming technique or another slide kick, Minh continued charging her position while instantly unleashing a barrage of palm strikes with each going at full speed as if they had been wound up before being thrown, meaning that each strike of a swift flurry would hit like a truck. 8 consecutive attacks were launched onto her upper body as he advanced with 4 explosive knee kicks to her gut one after another. Once he got closer to her, his palm attacks switched over to powerful, instantaneous elbow blows that rained over her upper body. All this was done while keeping his footing and stability to avoid making any careless mistakes, and every attack was done indiscriminate of the fiery cat or girl, only seeking to meet its mark and follow through with devastating effect.

Behind her would be the Shinigami which delivered its own payload of attacks with 3 heel kicks aiming for her thighs to disable her as well as 2 well-placed ones upon the back of her head. It would back up as well to make calculated attacks to further benefit Minh while he was going all out with a sorta of intoxicating rage. It was quite careful to not get in the crossfire, backing off each time Minh advanced.

Nuria held the cat in her arms, then saw the incoming charger that was Minh. Rolling her eyes as if to say "ugh, this again," Nuria used her enhanced speed to run aside and quickly scale 10 meters away from Minh, avoiding his barrage of attacks. Before doing this, however she would throw the cat Cinis up in the air, and it landed right by Minh's feet. Just as Minh began his apparent multiple attacks, Cinis released her burst, creating a wave of fire in a circular manner close to the ground, most likely out of view of Minh. Even if it was in view, Cinis would be too close to Minh for him to jump or do something of the sort in time. Nuria then summoned another rod of fire in her hand, racing about 5 meters in front of Minh and threw it, going 4 meters a second. Upon impact this spear-like bolt of fire would pierce his chest, causing burns from the inside. If this were to miss, somehow it would most likely hit the Shinigami, and pierce it instead.

Minh was not blind with rage, nor a fool to not notice a woman dashing all the way to the bloody side after tossing her cat at him. In fact, his attack never happened since it seemed she was somehow able to make it 10m from her position all the way back, probably waiting for her other spells once more to gain another advantage, like that wasn't clear enough already in this farce of a duel. Without a moment's notice, the entirety of his force shift instantly as he saw the cat coming down in front of his feet. More rather, he punted the creature with a powerful kick that sent it flying into Nuria like a living bullet as it began flaring up for some kind of attack, and then, he proceeded to catch the spear by letting it pass by him before doing a full turn around on the spot to grip onto the bolt before wheeling back to his original position to throw it back at her with even faster speeds of 10/m. If this child of an elemental was going to mess around like this as if it were just a game, then he might as well play using her toys.

Yet, he was no finished as he surged forward once more to close the distance between the two with Minh arriving just another half second after the cat and spear would make its mark. Minh purposely also threw the spear back on the same trajectory of the cat so that if both were to be dodged, the cat's burst would still occur followed by it getting impaled by the spear which was moving much faster than the cat as well to make matters worse. His movements were now strides that used the enchantment along with his strength to move with much quicker haste. At the same time, the Shinigami followed along via flying, tailing its bounded person with much speed as well, albeit slower.

Then with a sudden breeze of wind as if the heavens departed, a small sparrow flew down shining with the full light of the sun itself like some kinda bird Jesus that had returned to the world to do something righteous. It flew over to Minh, gripping its tiny talons into his head before lifting him up into the air with the haste of a soaring hawk. Angelic music would play in the background as Minh was taken away followed by even more birds shining in the light like angels, and one can see from far away, the rocky male giving Nuria a salute with a hand as he flew out of the volcano.
