/ Chat Group For Magicians 20 Beat Fire with Fire
I chased the guy holding the girl down and with the traffic of people in the streets, its kind of hard to catch up to this guy who seems really capable of using the crowd as his getaway pass. With my hoodie on, I felt like an assassin chasing a target(1) in here. What I am lacking here is a hidden blade.
"Halt! Anyone stop him!" I growled as I continue to chase the guy even by pushing others.
A few tried but before they can do, they are aimed by a gun and they got frozen on the spot as they saw a threatening muzzle aimed at them, making them stop in their tracks.
"F*ck! Motherf*cker get back here!" I roared as I continue to run ridiculously. Miraculously, my endurance in running seems to improve by a large margin and I don't feel easy to tire out. Did that chase scene with the giants made me able to run like this?
I continue to chase this agile guy. Even though he is a freaking thin guy, I am wondering how he can carry a child and run at the same time without me, who casted a Haste catching up on him. Is this an inhumane guy?
The guy looked back and seeing me on his tail for quite a while now, he aimed the muzzle of the gun and fired it. For some reason, my survival instincts kick in and with a wave in my hand wearing the gloves, I catches the fast bullet and incinerated it. This skill was being trained by Moonlight to me everyday.
Moonlight would always train me in catching any sorts of surprise attacks including guns. And since Moonlight has no gun, she uses magic bullets instead to test. The training she conducted me was brutal but fulfilling. Using the Flamethrower Gloves, I burned it without leaving a trace. The flames on the gloves can incinerate almost anything. The thief did not notice me incinerating the bullet. Besides, even if he see it, he will only see me catch the bullet but not actually see the process I burn it.
The kidnapper continued to run and looked back but seeing me still chasing him, his face became distorted and he looks pretty angry.
"Stop following me!" He roared and pulled the trigger of his gun three times. I dodged the two and catch the last one making me able to avoid conflict with the bullets.
I made a quick parkour around the benches and walls when he started to go to a more crowded places. To avoid him from shooting innocent people, I choose this way to stop him. Besides, I am good in parkour, walls are nothing to me.
The girl he kidnapped was literally unconscious since she was only limping on his arms instead of struggling meaning he made the girl faint. On what method he did that, I have no idea.
Many people are now panicking seeing me and the guy carrying a child chasing each other. This kind f scene is not common and not some kid of always occurrence event.
With the Haste still in effect, my body is still able to quickly run and climb walls, slowly closing in the distance between me and the guy.
Soon, this guy slowly arrived in a vacant area in which I am clearly not familiar with. He keeps on shooting but all of them missed since I get to slide or use the walls as cover. Soon enough, he run out of bullets.
"Sh*t!" He cursed as he tried to look for a way out. He was cornered.
With Haste skill, I was able to catch up to him. He looks like a teenager just like me but based from his voice, it was already similar to a 40 to 50 year old geezer. From the looks of it, he is handsome and just like what Volta said, some monsters looked like a harmless guy but in reality, they are the most dangerous entity.
"You interrupted my meal! No one has the right to interrupt my meal!" he roared and his facial expression began to twitch. Just by looking at those moving muscles in his face makes me want to puke.
Soon, the skin that he seems to cover himself slowly turned black like it was burned. I smell a burning object and smells disgusting. Seems like his skin is being burned that is why it looks like it is getting darker than usual.
What comes next came out of my expectation. All of his seven orifices released spouts of flames like something that canes from geysers that explodes lava. Seeing that he is still holding the girl, I focused my attention into his right arm and released a fireball.

Bang!
My surprise attack made him release his grip from the girl. Seeing the chance, I cast Haste once more and dash towards the falling girl.
"Gotcha!"
Since I got near from him, I made a roundhouse kick immediately before retreating again. The monster that did not anticipate my attacks, stumbled down.
I made the girl out of the way from the area before facing the monster once again. The monster slowly stood up and revealed his burned body. From the looks of it, my interruption makes his transformation failing.
"Magician! You filthy magic users are the bane of us monsters!" He roared and release a flaming power in the surroundings but for some reason, even though he roared loudly, the hotness of his skill did not really get me feel any danger. Did that also got affected from his failure of transformation?
"You filthy magician made me weaker! You will pay for it and since you stole my food, you will become my appetizer instead!" He spreads his hands and flames appeared from his hands. Unlike the normal flames, his flames is green. It didn't turned red might be from his failure? Also, his right hand seems to shook a bit and it is raised lower than the left hand.
I make a calm decision as I observe this guy. Based from his mannerisms, his body seems to take a lot of toll for failing his transformation. He can't unleash the full potential of his skills and somehow, he looks like he can't stand fire either since he looks like he was hurt in his right hand. It should be a good idea to beat him up using my Torrent Bullet since its a water type magic but I have no good control on Torrent Bullet and I might instead lose all of my mana.
There is an old saying "Beat Fire with Fire" and since this guy is also affected by flames, I might as well try hurling flames on this guy.
He throws a fist size fireball to me. Its not so fast so I dodge it, but I didn't realize that he will throe another fireball to me while dodging. I quickly made the gloves cover me before the fireball hits and luckily, this gloves is able to absorb flames. Its a good magic item that can nullify fire attacks if used as the shield.
I quickly slid away and covers my hands with flames. After days of training, I am no longer afraid of the flames coming from the gloves itself. I stick close to the monster and kicked his kneecap with strength, causing Jim to lose balance and grip his knee in pain.
"Ha!" I quickly made an uppercut to the guy while he grips his kneecap. Of course, my punch is amplified more with the flame magic so it hurt him like hell.
"Bastard!" he quickly recovers and tried to claw me but luckily, I duck and made another punch to his stomach.
"Pu!" the monster was full of openings, dealing with this guy is not a problem. With my punch hitting his stomach squarely, he puke out red blood that seems to boil.
I did not retreated yet and released a fireball into his stomach once more causing him to get propelled a few distance away before stopping as he hits the nearby wall.
