[Elemental Napalm: Emerald Fury Flame][Elemental Fiend: Emerald Fury Beast][Fire Storm]
Triple Combination Successful.
An elemental fiend has been summoned.
A gelatinous blob of emerald goo splattered against Khione's shield, melting through it almost immediately and causing the ice goddess to scream out in pain. At the same time, the area around her resembled a green sun as a firestorm raged throughout the dome. The Emerald fiend retreated to guard Nix; it was equipped with earth armor and a rock shield.
Khione's human avatar has been defeated.
Khione has activated her second-tier avatar [Ice Maiden].
A heavily armored woman gestured the flames away with a sweep of her blade. She barely resembled what Nix thought of as the ice goddess. She radiated physical power. ”My turn...”

Khione has executed a successful triple combination.
Nix has succumbed to snow blindness.
Nix has been Stunned.

Nix's vision changed to whiteout a moment before his limbs stopped working. He didn't see the blade cut deeply into his shoulder, causing a large portion of his health to disappear.
[Interference][Transferred Wrath] [Fiends Favor]
An Emerald Fury Fiend has executed a successful triple combination.
The Fiend blocked the followed up attack, pushing the heavily armored Khione back several steps.

[Second Form: Salamander]
Dozens of emerald flame strands flashed outward, their barbed tips punched through Khione's heavy armor, making her scream out in misery.
Nix has activated [Burst].
Khione's body burst apart with an explosion that sent the Salamander skidding across the ice field until it slammed against the dome wall.
Khione's paladin avatar has been defeated.
Khione has activated her third-tier avatar [Ice Goddess].
The emerald salamander advanced while Khione's essence reformed. The Ice Goddess hovered, her ice wings flapped slowly while creating a visible ice shield around her. Her cold blue eyes stared at the Salamander, the beautiful face showing obvious shock. ”Without manifesting fully, this is the last avatar I can fight with. It is more than enough to end you.”
[Ice Trap][Lightning Strike][ Silver Spear]
A box of white ice formed around Nix, not touching him but blocking his sight and earing. An instant after the box formed, it was shattered by a devastating lightning strike that shook the dome.
An Elemental Fiend has been mortally wounded.
Nix has been stunned.
A silver spear blurred through the air, piercing through the fiend and its shield before striking Nix.
An Elemental Fiend has been slain.
Khione has landed a significant strike on Nix.
The Salamander ignored the spear, impaling its shoulder. A half dozen emerald strands flashed outward, but instead of targeting the Ice Goddess, they stabbed into the ground and flung the Salamander forward.
[Dreadfire: Emerald Fury]
A single column of green flame blazed from the Salamander's hand; it passed through the Ice Shield before striking the Ice Goddess, side.
Nix has landed a significant strike on Khione.
Before he could follow up the attack, she winked out of existence only to appear on the far side of the dome a moment later. Rivulets of light blue blood ran down her side and splashed onto the ground, her blue eyes were filled with pain and a hint of fear. ”Now... I will kill you, but before I leave, the rest of your friends will die also.”
The threat hung in the air, chilling the atmosphere by several degrees.
Nix has activated his bloodline.
[Final Form: Dread Beast]
Emerald green light flashed outward with an expulsion of power that melted everything in its path. A moment later, calm yellow eyes blinked once as the creature took in its surroundings. It had feathered wings that combined red and orange feathers, its scales appeared to be heavily armored and were capped off by long spikes that extended outward from the shoulders. The beast raised a green claw and pulled the spear loose from its shoulder.
”A dread beast...” Khione's words were barely whispered. ”I wouldn't have come here alone had I known, this will cause me one of my trump cards.”
The beast ignored her words, seemingly unconcerned by her presence. Its eyes took in the surrounding dome.
”Disconnected consciousness?” Khione stopped whatever she was going to do and moved closer. ”I've changed my mind. I will take you back and trap you in this form. Together we shall remake this world into something beautiful.”
The dread beast continued to stare at the arena; it huffed once, sending flames in all directions. Without warning, it flashed toward the ceiling, striking it with a sharp claw. It repeated the process a half dozen times; the dome was filled with the echo of powerful strikes.
”I can free you from this place.” Khione's cold face took on a more kindly expression, and she moved forward. The beast ignored her until she was within thirty meters, then it faced her again. This time baleful yellow eyes stared at her. She stopped immediately. ”I mean you no harm; let's escape this trap together.”
Countless emerald strands flashed outward and wrapped up the Ice Goddess; her screams of agony filled the air as hundreds of them pinned her arms to her body. Her weapon clattered on the ice as she was pulled toward the beast.
[Ice Seed: Sacrifice]
