But instead of Thrain struggling to get away from him, he actually gripped Atrox's hand in return and drew him close. "Do you think you are the only one that can punch?"
His armor lit up with green light as he sucked power from the earth beneath him. The force gripping Atrox increased, and he felt as if his bones were getting crushed.
In retaliation, he added more essence into his body, and the two began to crush each other's hands in a show of force. The ground cracked around them, and a crater formed.
"Oh? This technique actually puts your powers equal to mine, but can you keep this up?"
As if a floodgate had opened in Atrox, his body suddenly lit up in red light. The clothes he was wearing burned away into ashes. It had been a while since he had generated enough power to burn his fire-resistant clothes into ashes.
