Rollo laughs, "Ha... Haha, hahaha... Hahahahahaha! Well, that was a surprise. I wasn't expecting Azul to rush forth and take the brunt of the flames! Was he protecting you two? I suppose even villains can have a shred of compassion. I learned something new today."
"Ashengrotto... You did that for us? I'm so sorry..." Malleus says.
Then Idia says, "Malleus... Dude, are you kidding? Do you believe for a minute Azul would go out of his way to shield you?"
"What?" Rollo & Malleus question.
"What are you talking about?" Briar asks.
Idia then explains, "This is Azul Ashengrotto we're talking about- a guy whose whole brand is about being greedy, miserly, underhanded, and ruthless. There's a less than zero chance he would ever sacrifice himself for nothing."
Suddenly, they begin to hear laughter, "Heheh... Heheheh..." And it's revealed to be Azul who is laughing, "HAAAH HAН НАН НАН НАН! Oh, this is JUST the moment I've been waiting for!" who is shockingly still standing on his feet.
Rollo is shocked, "What?! You're still standing?!"
"Ashengrotto! You're safe?" Malleus asks.
"Of course I am. Don't think I'm like a certain freshman with a bad case of tunnel vision," Azul says. Then turns to Azul, "...It's time to pay up!"
Suddenly, Azul begins emitting strong magic, shocking everyone.
"Where's all that power coming from? You couldn't have kept all that in reserve!" Rollo questions, shocked.
"You're in for a world of hurt!" Azul says, and casts the spell, "DOUBLE DOWN!"
"What?" Briar asks, shocked.
Then Azul fires his magic at Rollo, causing massive damage.
Rollo screams, "AAAUGH! Rgh... How... How in the world...?!" And collapsed on the ground.
Shocked, Malleus asks, "Ashengrotto just shot a fire blast as big as Flamme's... No, even bigger!"
Azul laughs, "AAAH HAH HAH HAH! You fool. You thought you'd won?! I saved a special present just for you and loaded it with all the nonsense you put me through. By all means, savor it. Oh dear, but you can't hear me anymore, can you?!"
"Aw, come on, dude. Couldn't you come up with a more heroic one-liner?" Idia says.
"The majority of that blast was comprised of Flamme's own magic. You took the attack and redirected it back at him. What an amusing trick, Ashengrotto. Is that your signature spell?" Malleus says, surprised and impressed.
"I'm impressed, Malleus. It took but a glance for you to break down the spell's structure.
But it's not my signature spell. I borrowed it from Deuce," Azul says.
"From Spade...?" Malleus questions.
