As if possessing the reaction speed of a machine, Max was able to draw his magic pistol from its holder on his left and fires it to shoot the slash. This pistol was the Supernova which fires beams of pure, concentrated heat. It can go hotter, but in an attempt to make sure the two of them don’t kill each other, its currently set to a heat capable of melting singing wood on contact. Hoping to use the explosion to conceal him, Max rides his wrench, still hooked onto his boot, in close to Roofus and tries to go in for either a full force kick to Roofus’ head, or to graze his skin with the spinning drill bits.

Watching the newest of the Fairy Tail mages close in on him through the explosion, Rufus barely managed to jump back. The kick managed to cut his cheek, and he blamed himself more than his opponent for it.
“I underestimated you, it seems,” Rufus admitted. He would not disappoint the guild like the others before him.
“Shrine of the Turbulent Fang!” he declared, summoning multiple whirlwinds around Max that would home in on him. Once within their range, they would pick up their target and cut them up with razor-sharp winds. It was as if Rufus was intent on returning the cut inflicted on him, a hundred times over.
Max is unable to prevent himself from getting picked up by the winds, so instead he decides to grab his wrench in his hand from hit boot and let the whirlwind pick him up. Once he's in the air, he waits a second and requips his wrench away, trading it for his other weapon, the Cubic Hammer. The Cubic Hammer's ability is that it can magically adjust its weight to swing harder and prevent others from lifting it, so calculating a trajectory based on the curvature and speed the wind was spinning him he summons his heavy hammer at the exact right time to fling him out of the whirlwind and land in the maze of the bookshelves, choosing to hide. Not that this plan is without consequence, though. The force did slam him into a wall, but not hard enough to slow him down any.
