As Kael'thas clenched his hand, the Ice Rain filling the sky suddenly changed.
It converged on Rhode in an instant, swirling toward him like a tornado.
It was easy to imagine that, if it touched him, Rhode might instantly become an ice sculpture, unable to move again.
But at that moment, Rhode suddenly turned into a ball of fire!
No, the Red Fire Orb had enveloped his entire body, turning him into a... "Fire Man"?
Yet this Fire Man remained completely unharmed as the Ice Rain converged on him.
Every single drop of Ice Rain melted!
Naturally, it could no longer freeze Rhode in place.
"Prince Kael'thas, this set of Air Magic spells of yours really is interesting. Still, it doesn't seem capable of doing anything to me." As Rhode spoke, he straightened his whole body and charged at Kael'thas.
With flames blazing all over him, the move looked rather like the signature attack of M. Bison, the final boss in Street Fighter.
Kael'thas's expression grew grave.
He had thought Rhode was only in his twenties. Surely he could not have studied magic longer than Kael'thas had, nor could he be more gifted.
Even if he had magically transformed the Moon Crystals, he should only have gained a fraction of their power, rather than absorbed it all.
After all, gemstones of that caliber required a corresponding level of magical power to control.
Yet the magical ability Rhode now displayed was no weaker than his own. In fact, it seemed a little stronger.

But Rhode had easily withstood it simply by turning his entire body into a ball of fire.
More frightening still, after casting spells in succession, Kael'thas
