[b][i]Taking an uppercut to the chest he turns over in pain on the ground. Spitting a little bit of blood onto it as he gets up. The flames dying out as the tattoo on his arm is peeled off. Blood running down his mouth as a new tattoo on his right side is formed. A symbol of the hellhound Cerberus now on it. Moving forward shadows begin covering his body. His hands clenching into fists as the shadows wrap around them. Two wolf heads made of pure shadow now adorning it. His fingers becoming the fangs as the armor finishes wrapping around his feet. Opening his eyes to show a blood red glow. Moving forward the ground seems to crumble inwards where he is stepping. Sheathing the knives as a large fifty four inch great-sword is drawn from his back. Slamming it into the ground as markings shoot off in all directions runic symbols being formed on the ground as the ground seems to become pitch black. As it nears Cael fang like spikes jet out of it towards him in all directions. [/i][/b]

Though unexpectedly flashy, Xeno's transformation was slow and telegraphed louder than a child's whining. While Xeno was doing his fancy transformation, Cael did not wait for him to finish; he immediately sprinted forward, allowing to avoid the spikes altogether. As he dashed forward, the shape of a four foot inch javelin formed in his right hand, transparent and hazy at first. However within a half second, it solidified; it was made of all elements Cael was able to utilize. Rocks and ice formed the base of the javelin, and surrounding it was a high-speed whirlwind. Within the whirlwind was flames and crackling electricity; it was a blade of elements, not meant to be durable, but rather deliver a single, extremely painful blow. He chucked the javelin, and it flew straight at Xeno with minimal arc. And yet, it didn't stop there; an extraordinarily massive jet stream of water followed the javelin, not exactly boosting its momentum, but certainly adding a good amount of damage to the impact, should it strike. After performing this move, Cael visibly tired. He slowed after chucking the javelin, flames surrounding his hands; he would need time to prepare his follow-up, due to his lowered energy, and so he might as well start as he examined his attack.

[b][i]Shifting his weight he moves to the side the javelin piercing his armor and side as blood poured out. With a painful grunt he goes to a knee. Shaking his head as new runes seem to form around Cael. Chains rising up and going for his arms and legs to tie him down. Seeming to be a sort of containment spell. With the blood hashing out of his side he clutches his side. Moving forward towards Cael not extremely fast but still approaching. Coughing up some blood as he staggers a little shaking his head. He couldn't make it this easy... not in front of her... The shadows seeming to form into a giant sphere around Cael. Spikes with thorns now adorning it as he lets it go. One final move before he knew he would lose. But he wanted to at least do something. [/i][/b]

As the javelin made contact, it exploded–obviously. An explosion of extreme heat, also sending fragments of rock and ice in every direction. The explosion also evaporate all the water from the jet stream behind the javelin, causing a steam to rise up everywhere and more or less blind both Xeno and Cael. Meanwhile, Cael focused on trying to save himself. Firstly, he used his earth magic to gather the strongest material he could gather from within the earth's surface–corundum–forming an massive spike that shot upwards from underground and, due to the ore's momentum, pierced the shadow sphere, allowing corundum to enter the sphere. It changed shape to surround Cael, making another sphere, which managed to block the spikes from stabbing Cael all over. Secondly, the moisture in the air inside the shadow sphere but outside the iron sphere literally multiplied and gathered together to fill the space between the two spheres with water. Then, it proceed to completely freeze; the freezing water would expand the the space, yet the corundum sphere remained in place, and as such, one of the two materials would crack. Corundum, being just harder than the shadowy material, would not be the first to crack. The expanding ice instead made small cracks in 4 centimeters thick shadow sphere. From there, Cael altered the thickness and size of his corundum sphere, making it thinner but a larger sphere overall, allowing the ice to further expand out and finally shatter the shadow sphere. The corundum immediately dispersed, causing Cael to fall to his knees on the ground, just barely managing to escape the sphere. He was, however, all out of energy, and could no longer continue to fight.
