Bab 8: Ability of Flame Manipulation
Although this is Arthur's first battle, he wasn't panicking, even if his opponent is a Mutant who has already had some fame and has gone through several battles.
"Dear, stay a bit further away, rest assured I will win." Skye was worried about Su Zhan's safety but couldn't help in anyway, so she moved a bit away, to not let Arthur be distracted due to herself.
At the opposite side Pyro was strengthening his flames, but to prevent giving the advantage to the enemy Arthur ran towards Pyro with his full speed. But Arthur himself was surprised at his speed as in the blink of an eye he crossed several meters of distance and found himself in front of Pyro. Pyro seems to have been scared by his super fast speed and made his flames go straight toward him.
Seeing the incoming wave of heat, Arthur flashed to the side, avoided it and moved towards Pyro again. However, Pyro's flame was always closely behind him, and it was fast. Arthur was using his strong physique and speed to constantly move around, trying to find opportunities to go near Pyro John. However, Pyro's combat experience was indeed very rich, and he was controlling the flames such that Arthur had no chance to get close, as close combat was one his weak points.
"Do you only have this much ability? I thought that you were more powerful, but you are just like a dog with bark and no bite." Seeing Arthur constantly dodge him Pyro provoked him.
"Don't worry, I promise you will see more of my power soon."
Arthur replied, although he hadn't come close to Pyro John until now, and was avoiding the flames, but it's not because he was afraid of the fire, because the heat of flames had no effect on him, his own body could produce much higher temperatures than Pyro's flame. Simply put, he can completely ignore these kind of flames. The reason why he didn't do it is because he wants experience.
He wants to become familiar with his bodies new superhuman abilities and also get an increase in combat experience.
After all, ability is important, but sometimes, combat experience decides the outcome of a fight. He found that his physical fitness was still growing, that is, although he absorbed Extremis perfectly without any side effects, but he did not fully develop the potential of Extremis and it's abilities and he could improve more. At least in speed, Pyro's flames couldn't catch up with him.
"So you like running around very much? Well, let's see if you continue to hide now!"
When Pyro saw that he couldn't injure Arthur as his flames couldn't catch him, he then split a part of the flames and moved them towards Skye.
"If you really have more abilities, then go and try to save your girl." Pyro John proudly said.
"Damn it!"
Arthur didn't expect him to use such a despicable move towards Skye. But he didn't have the luxury to think more . He turned and ran towards Skye. His speed was rising beyond the limits. He felt as though that he was gliding on the road. He finally caught up with the flames, but he didn't have the time to push Skye away and could only stand in front of her.
"Be careful!"
Skye woke up from her trance and hurriedly shouted. Pyro John made his flames go towards Arthur and hit his body like exploding grenades.
'Boom.... Boom....'
This sound was heard continuously for 5 minutes and Arthur was fully covered in the flames.
"haha, what a fool to sacrifice own life for a girl. But now who will save her...."
Pyro John's smugly said and was slowly walking towards Skye.
But Pyro's smug expression was soon erased and now he looked incredulously at the gradual disappearance of the smoke.
Like Red hot magma, Arthur's body was intact giving a feeling as if a demon from hell had emerged.
"No, it's impossible, how can you be still okay?" Looking at Arthur's torn clothes with body looking like magma, Pyro shouted incredulously, while still controlling the flames and constantly attack Arthur.
However, these flames did hit Arthur's body, but it didn't do any damage.
"Just this much? Your ability is only to such a degree? Pyro, I am disappointed. If you had not attacked my woman, maybe… I would've played with you for some more time, but now… you should be honoured to be the first stepping stone on my road!" Arthur's voice seemed to come from hell, letting Pyro feel fear from the depths of his heart and he subconsciously wanted to retreat farther away!
Before he take two more steps though Arthur moved, and in a moment he came in front of Pyro and grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
The hot high temperature makes Pyro John scream in an instant. He could control fire, and not be damaged by fire and even had a high temperature resistance. But… Arthur emited just too high temperature, there was no flame, just temperature that could melt everything.
He felt like his neck was being melted. He struggled with his hands and controlled the flames to attack Arthur, but he couldn't hurt him. He finally knew how ridiculous his previous actions and arrogance was, and thought about how Arthur fooled him by running away from his flames. It turned out that his flames couldn't do any damage to Arthur, he was just teasing him.
He was now afraid, he had started to regret, he did not want to die yet.
"Do you want to aplologize, beg for mercy?" His fear wanted him to ask Arthur to let him go, but he just couldn't make any sound at all, his strength was getting weaker and weaker, and his flames had begun to gradually become out of control. He felt as though there was a force in his body that was being absorbed by the Arthur's hand and was leaving his body.
"No...!"
Arthur finally let go of his hand and Pyro fell to the ground. He felt that he was about to lose consciousness. He then saw that Arthur returned to his normal Appreance, but when he raised his hand there was a flame dancing around it as though being controlled by Arthur.
"This…this is my ability, you…you have taken away my ability, you…you are a devil, you are an Evil Demon…" Pyro John almost emotionally collapsed seeing this.
Arthur glanced at him and slowly lifted his palms, and the flames were going towards Pyro.
"Don't..."
A shout came, Arthur stopped and glanced at Skye running over.
Skye shook her head slightly and said: "Dear, don't kill him, or else we will have trouble with SHIELD."
"No, kill me, please kill me…" Pyro yelled wildly, losing his ability, he had lost his value, Magneto wouldn't take care of him front now on. Losing his ability made him feel more pain than death would.
Arthur snapped his fingers and the flames disappeared instantly, then bent over and picked up the lighter that Pyro had used before.
"Let's Go then."
Skye nodded, and Arthur turned and left the alley with Skye, leaving Pyro lying on the ground, his eyes clouded in dispair.…
