"Your tricks mean nothing," Dragon snaps, but the aura streaming off of Nitoh is infuriatingly heavy with the scent of Chimaera himself. Somehow, Nitoh has parodied his own gifts to Haruto, with none of the worry, as Chimaera was a leashed dog.

He takes the tassels to the face, but his follow-up is to summon up land magic in his right claw and dig it toward the ground, splitting the soil to throw rocks at Nitoh. He breathes another fireball. He's not fast enough to keep up with Nitoh, but if he can lure him close, he can freeze him to the ground, and then he'll be child's play.
