There had to be something, this guy didn't seem overly powerful. Most spells were too slow to cast so they could be reflected or canceled altogether. Sure they held power behind them but nothing that he would call a threat or not enough to worry about. Though maybe he was giving this guy too much slack.

As the fight went on Destro seemed to start to try to get under his skin by saying different things. Mentioning his father, that was a low move if there ever was one. What was he expecting? Some fire grand master? considering age Thalion knew quite a bit, probably more then he admitted to even. Either way this guy was working on what last nerve he had to keep calm during this fight.

Sure he wanted him dead but he refused to go that far. Not till it was no longer a issue anyway. Besides that it wasted a lot of energy and took a little bit to wear off unless he passed out afterwards. though that could be a bit risky as well. Aside from that he had more important things to deal with, like the fact he knew this spell was different as he listened to Destro blab on about what it did.

This was not good, to say it worked quickly was a understatement as he tried to think of a way out of this. Though thats when Destro kept trying to wear down his energy by casting spell after spell. It was the words that might have doomed him. A combination of things and Thalion finally was tired of it. Destro kept taunting him all the same, though if he had been paying attention instead of assuming he had won he might have shut up sooner.

Damien smirked a little before crossing his arms as Neimi looked at him seeing as he had not moved this whole time. "Now is where the true power he hides sets in.." Neimi tilted her head a little before leaning against the railing she was near a little. she had seen Thalion mad but this was different. Damien only knew what was coming from knowing the family and their history. Neimi could feel the shift in energy though as she tried to debate on this being good or bad.

Not as good huh... He was not losing to some prick who thought he was better just from knowing a few damned spells with extra tricks. This probably was made apparently as the next spell wasn't just deflected it all but vanished before getting to where Thalion was. "I wouldn't take it that far.." He said almost in a warning tone before Destro seemed to cast another spell though by this time what blue fire that was visible was gone and it was very clear what color Thalion's eyes were.

The next spell he never bothered to dodge as he moved the blade in his hand and cut through it, never missing a step in his walk. "Your right though on some things... though if I were like my father I doubt this would have been much of a fight now would it?" He had a point if he were half as strong as his father had been, this fight would have ended with the first few spells if not the first.

The next spell Destro cast Thalion seemed to reflect it almost as soon as it was cast forcing Destro back a bit from that being unexpected. Though in the moment that the mage took to recover Thalion had cleared the distance that was between them and Destro had barely managed to avoid the blade that lashed out. Though it still didn't put him far enough to be out of harms way.

No even with avoiding the blade Thalion had managed to grab him with his other hand and held him there for a moment ignoring any spell attempts he had tried. "In your next life you should learn who you are fighting and stick to your own rank.." He said to him before a similar blue fire that was seen before seemed to start where Thalion's hand was on Destro before wrapping around the other. Though this one was a mix of blue and white. It also hardly seemed to be for the purpose of energy draining.

Destro tried to dispel the fire seeing as it was his own flame. Though it seemed to only make it spread faster and do more damage. Though this wasn't the end of the fire either as Destro cursed Thalion before casting another spell. This one was far more powerful and probably would have killed Thalion being this close still.

He barely caught reflecting the sudden blast just in time. Odds were the spell would have killed Destro anyway but seeing as the spell was reflected the damage only went towards Destro finishing off the already wounded mage. Not to say that reflecting a spell of that power was a easy feat or that Thalion was in perfect shape after all of that. No for the moment standing was what he was managing as he held one hand out where he had blocked the spell. Though at the least the fight seemed to be over no matter how much energy he had wasted on reflecting that last spell..
