"I'm gonna freeze Hell over WITH YOU IN IT!!"

"Maybe give a warning the next time you turn the surroundings into a burning... hell." Victor Von Doom finally uttered after a few seconds of watching my fire wave burn away the last vestiges of the massive demon horde. "However, this makes our job much easier than I initially anticipated. Since I didn't have to expend any energy to fight the demons, maybe I can take care of Mephisto on my own." He mused in a hushed voice as if he were contemplating his chances.
"Even though that fire of yours didn't have as much magic in it as the eternal flames of Surtur, it still doesn't exactly fall behind in strength when it comes to burning everything in its path." Hella gave her own opinion as well while surveying the widespread damage caused by my fire.
"What do you mean by my flames don't have much magic in them? Ryujin Jakka is completely spiritual in nature; doesn't that alone make it one of the most magical fires in the world?" I questioned with a deadpan.
"Having its origin from a spirit doesn't automatically make something magically gifted. Yes, it can even burn away non-corporeal entities due to its spiritual nature, but it doesn't have as many magical properties as the eternal flames, which are basically inextinguishable, powerful enough to bring back the dead, and can even supply Surtur with enough power so that he can unleash Ragnarök." She calmly responded as if she were just stating hard facts.
"... I see. You are right. Now that I think about it, my fire ability does seem a little lackluster when compared to Hellfire or the Eternal Flames of Surtur. Even though Ryujin Jakka is indeed a better version of my previous ability, which is the Nirvana Flame, it still could have been better." I lamented with a weak smile as I stared at a yellow ball of fire that I had just made in my hands. 'However, now that I think about it, Ryujin Jakka should also have the ability to revive everyone it has killed as skeletons, right? That is a good support ability. But if my fire had another cool magical ability like being unextinguishable so that it can't be countered by normal water, it would have been just perfect... Wait, don't I also have access to the Fiendfyre spell... what if?'
Without uttering any more words, I silently cast the Fiendfyre spell over my left hand before bringing it close to the Ryujin Jakka's flame that was brightly burning over my right hand. "Now, let's try to combine the two," I said as I consciously did my best to mix the two flames to combine them into one single flame. If it is indeed possible, then I can just start practicing combining Ryujin Jakka with Fiendfyre until I master casting both fires at once. The resulting flame still might not be as good as the eternal flames, but it will definitely be closer.
