The Red Demon’s hand snaps up, and a jagged red scimitar blooms from the air with a hiss of heat. He does not waste the opening, a fireball already swelling in his other palm.
He hurls the flame straight at Zarronkamkar’s chest. The ward-light above the ring flares hard enough to bleach the sand pale for a heartbeat.
Zarronkamkar is still in the blast path as the air buckles around him, the token at his side pulsing once in sharp rhythm with the incoming удар.

The Black Goku
That pressure again. If he rides it, this bout shifts.
Across the arena edge, the Black Goku leans forward, eyes fixed on the dark-spark token as it throbs in time with the attack. The cracked ring floor trembles under the force of the clash.
One clean hit here can carry Zarronkamkar toward the tournament win, or one mistake can let the Red Demon force him back toward the edge.
“With my fire powers I reverse the fireball through devilsbane into him”
SUCCESS (Great Arcana, rolled +2)

Zarronkamkar gathers the flare in his own palms and turns it back on itself. The red fireball twists, catches his darker flame, and snaps around as if the arena air itself has changed sides.
The reversed blaze slams into The Red Demon’s chest and shoulder, knocking his scimitar arm wide. Heat erupts in a bright wash, and his advance breaks at once.

The Red Demon
What?!
He staggers back through his own smoke, boots skidding in the sand. The ward-light overhead flickers, then steadies on the demon’s sudden retreat.

The Black Goku
There it is. He caught the flow and turned it.
The dark-spark token gives a hard pulse at Zarronkamkar’s side, and the pale shard near the rail spins once in the heated draft. The crowd’s roar swells, hungry for the next exchange.
