"Interesting trick," John growled, conjuring another fireball. "But can you keep it up?"
He unleashed a barrage, throwing fireball after fireball in rapid succession. The ground floor became a storm of flame as Draziel moved through the assault like a dancer through rain. His blade flashed repeatedly, cutting apart each projectile with minimal wasted movement. Droplets of fire scattered across the area, turning the ground floor into a scene of controlled chaos.
John watched with growing frustration. Each fireball consumed energy, and while his Super Soldier physique gave him far greater reserves than a normal human, they weren't infinite. This opponent was neutralizing his ranged advantage with pure skill.
"You can't keep this up forever," John snarled, but there was an edge of uncertainty in his voice now.
"Neither can you," Draziel replied calmly, not even breathing hard despite the intensity of his movements. With his strength doubled he wasn't having any problem.
