Fire and Hammer
"Gottes Gerechtigkeit Zerschlagung!"

"Fire Make: Wall!"

The two attacks clashed, creating both an immense wall of fire that raged across the field and an explosion just infront of it. His eye twitching, Gottes turned to Conway and asked "...What the hell do you think you're doing?" Oblivious to the question, the Fire Make Mage simply continued fuelling the Flame Wall with his magic before replying "Helping you?"

"Helping me? I told you not to get in my way"

"And I'm not getting in your way am I?"

"Of course you are! You just sent a wall of fire infront of me just as I was about to run forwards!"

"Well yeah, but that's because a couple of those guys were about to hit you!"

"That's why I used the Gottes Gerechtigkeit Zerschlagung!"

Mocking Gottes, Conway argued "Pfft, Gottes Gerech-what now? You trying to become a suicide bomber or something?"

"I'll have you know, it would take much more than an explosion to kill me!"

"Oh? Well then how about a pillar of fire from your feet?"

Gripping his Hammer with both hands, Gottes turned towards the onslaught of enemies and said "Trust me, I would love that, I could use that to show you how strong I am however, right now there's a bunch of people we have to beat up right now"

Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Conway simply commented "Well that's a shame but anyways...don't you think those guys move a bit weirdly? It's as if they don't even care if they die or not"

Swinging his hammer, Gottes caught a knight in the stomach before following through, sending him crashing into his allies. Hefting his hammer onto his shoulder, he replied "That's true...what if they're all puppets?"

Swinging his arm, a blaze of fire erupted from his hand as Conway said "Idiot, how does that make any sense? They scream when they get burned and grunt when you hit them" Throwing the blaze into the distance, he watched as it exploded, defeating several of the knights that were marching towards the citadel. Continuing their battle, the two fighters worked in conjunction, barely holding back the army from invading the citadel. Swinging his hammer, Gottes caught several of the knights and sent them flying, jumping back as Conway sent a trail of fire blazing directly into the army. With the Witch Hunter taking care of anybody coming close, while the Fire Mage mostly just threw destructive spells into the crowd, it was impossible to imagine that their teamwork would fail.

Back to back with Gottes, Conway asked "Hey...do you think they may have been possessed?" Huffing at the question and the strain he was experiencing, Gottes said "How would I know? Is there a magic that takes over thousands of people?" Grimacing, Conway argued "There are a few...but they normally would have run out of magic by now"

Ducking, Gottes swung randomly, hitting another knight in the head before a blade waa flung towards Conway.

"Watch Out!"

Before the blade hit Conway, it distorted into a mishappen pile of bent steel which was then redirected towards the army, hitting a knight with such force that he was sent flying backwards. Staring at the Mage in confusion, Gottes asked "What the hell was that?"

"What was what?"

"...Nevermind, just don't die next time"

"...OK?"

Generating a large amount of fire around him, Conway molded it into a shape before yelling out "Fire Make: Dragon". The Flames turned into a Dragon that rushed towards the army, scorching several of the knights and incinerating even more. Watching the decimation happen, Gottes commented "You know...you could have done that much earlier...right?" "Probably" "Well then why didn't you do it before?" "I just remembered I could do that"

Looking at Conway with irritation, Gottes simply muttered "Idiot" before continuing to observe the Dragon take care of the army on its own.
