Chapter 200 Fire and ice
"Haaaa!" The crowd gasped as one of their own fell ruthlessly to the ground at the hands of the twins. Joaquin's face, however, remained blank — neither amused nor angered.
His attention now focused on Suzzy and the Chain Smoker.
"You need fire; I will give you an inferno!" Suzzy, visibly losing herself in anger, declared.
"That's the spirit!" Chain Smoker responded with a smile, the thick paper stick still in his mouth.
Suzzy shouted loudly, and the fire in her hands began extending to her arms and beyond. With folded hands poised for attack, she charged toward Chain Smoker.
On the other hand, Chain Smoker began swinging his sharp chains with formidable power.
As Suzzy approached, his speed increased remarkably, catching her off guard. The chains struck her forcefully, wrapping around her before she could react.
Within a split second, the chains had embedded themselves into Suzzy's skin, tearing it apart and prompting an angry scream.
The intense heat from the flames on her body melted some of the sharp edges of the chain, blunting them.
Determined to retaliate, Suzzy ceased her screams and launched a powerful wave of fire, even more potent than the first, towards Chain Smoker.
Sensing the imminent impact, he attempted to shield himself with his hand, getting propelled into the air forcefully and landing on the ground with a loud thud.
The crowd, initially optimistic that Chain Smoker could defeat the twins singlehandedly, now reconsidered as they witnessed him lying on the ground.
"I thought you wanted fire to light your smoke. Why stop the flame from reaching it? Scared it can't take it?" Suzzy taunted.
Without wasting a second on the ground, Chain Smoker stood up and dusted himself off with his hands.
He returned Suzzy's smile before closing his eyes for a few seconds. "You're getting full of yourself already, and I hate it!" he shouted, suddenly opening his eyes to reveal a red and angry gaze.
"He's doing that to that poor child? What a pity!" an onlooker remarked.
In an instant, his chains made a distinctive sound and split into four. He swung them swiftly at Suzzy, who, anticipating their speed, dodged as quickly as possible.
Confident that she had avoided all the chains, Suzzy was taken aback when one unexpectedly wrapped around her. Before she could react, it was pulled back, tearing her skin once more.
He didn't give her any breathing space, relentlessly swinging another round of chains against her body, tearing her skin and causing more blood to spill onto the ground. Despite the brutality, Suzzy refused to back down.
As he continued his assault, Suzzy keenly observed a pattern in his attacks.
Recognizing that a particular chain was lighter than the rest and consistently came last, making it difficult to dodge all at once, she played along, waiting for the opportune moment to strike back.
Chain Smoker ruthlessly tore Suzzy's skin without a break, gradually showing signs of fatigue.
Sensing this weakness, Suzzy decided it was the perfect time to retaliate.
With determination, she grabbed the chains, despite their sharpness. Chain Smoker, noticing the catch, tried to pull them back, but Suzzy's grip was unyielding.
The chains bored holes into her skin, but she remained resilient.
With a loud and calculated shout, flames, like liquid, emanated from her body, running across the chains and swiftly liquifying them. The molten flames surged toward Chain Smoker, catching him off guard.
Before he could react, the fluid-like flame made its way to Chain Smoker's hand, ruthlessly burning him.
Struggling to free himself from the chains, they were tightly fixed, making it difficult for him to break free.
The onlookers were astonished to see their famous Chain Smoker shouting in agony.
After a few moments of excruciating pain, the chains liquified and dropped to the ground, momentarily freeing Chain Smoker. He staggered back, examining his hands, now almost burnt to a crisp.
"That's what you get for playing with fire!" Sully declared as he approached his sister, Suzzy, ready to fight side by side.
Joaquin remained silent, observing the unfolding events with newfound interest. Initially indifferent, he now wanted to witness the outcome – whether the twins would emerge victorious or face defeat.
Chain Smoker, infuriated by the sight of his nearly vaporized hands, was determined to exact revenge.
Spitting his thick paper to the ground, he retrieved a small chain from his side pocket. Suzzy curiously remarked, "Really? Chains again?"
Without uttering a word, Chain Smoker wrapped the chain around his hand, exerting force, and the chains replicated, covering his hand.
Releasing the tight grip, a long metallic claw emerged from his hand. He wasted no time in rushing to attack the twins, swinging his metallic claws.
The twins, vigilant and nimble, dodged each attempt, frustrating Chain Smoker. Annoyed and fatigued, he continued his relentless attacks, growing increasingly helpless.
The twins seized their chance, waiting for Chain Smoker to tire.
After a few minutes, Sully grabbed Chain Smoker's left hand with his uninjured one, while Suzzy secured the other. Together, they swiftly maneuvered to the other side.
He struggled and released his grip from Sully's, seizing Sully's head and slamming it to the ground with a resounding thud.
Moving swiftly, Chain Smoker grabbed Suzzy's hand, forcefully pulling her closer before delivering a powerful punch to her face, sending her flying to the ground.
Before Chain Smoker could make another move, Sully sprang to his feet, hurling an ice ball at Chain Smoker's feet, freezing them.
As Sully approached, Chain Smoker struggled to free his leg, but Sully, noticing the resistance, threw another ice ball, reinforcing the frozen hold. He repeated the process with the other foot, rendering Chain Smoker helpless.
Seizing the opportunity, Suzzy rushed in and grabbed his other hand, widening them once again. The twins worked in tandem to keep Chain Smoker restrained.
Despite Chain Smoker's strength, fatigue, and numerous injuries rendered him almost helpless as the twins held his arms firmly on either side.
"Now let's witness the clash of fire and ice, and discover which prevails — the faster and the stronger."
