"You... bastard. I refuse to lose~" Riley muttered, her bloodied face strained as she stretched her palm forward.
"Fireball~" she whispered softly, almost breathlessly.

A tiny spark ignited from Riley's palm and the next moment—
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
A massive explosion of fire erupted from her hand, engulfing the entire arena. The shockwave shook the entire structure violently, it was so intense, an ordinary building would've collapsed instantly.
