Azerus's teeth gritted and his lip curled at Lance's impressive display. [indent][i]"...bloody Lance!"[/i][/indent]
he grumbled to himself as he stretched and warmed up his own muscles. Kain could produce a replica of lightning but he couldn't 'embody a lightning god'. 
Soon he swiftly sweeps through the crowd of participants as they were distracted by the next volunteer, touching many people casually and briefly. Kain used every second of physical connection to draw more and more magical energy into himself, he was going to need it.

The heavier the walls became the more Azerus was covered in both sweat and soft white flames. By the time he came to the wall Lance had failed on he was utterly consumed by a bright burning light as he infused himself with much of his magic. 
He had strained himself and his limits to get here, now he stood there struggling and shaking beneath the weight of the heavy half raised wall. 
He began to tremble, needing only to lift it a few more feet, determination echoing in his growing roar. 
Sadly his lengthy battle began to falter as inch by inch the wall began to lower.
It seemed there was nothing left he could do, no hidden reservoir of energy or left over magic. 

The strength inducing flames began to dwindle then in a sudden bright flash he changed to lightning magic and with lightning speed positioned himself beneath the crushing weight with his back pressing up against the obstacle, his hands and arms resting on his shaking knees.

He would not settle for equalling Lance's effort, he must win. 
Despite moving himself in danger Kain found a still focus in his endless determination. 
Instead of fuelling his strength with fire he began stilling his energy until he began to freeze into ice. 
It was a slow process, far slower than any other wall attempt, but every obstacle had more than one solution.  
Kain's entire body became covered and reinforced by ice. He didn't stop there, soon he was a solid frozen brick beneath the wall, wedging it up.

From there it took a further five long painful minutes of exerting his strength while slowly raising the level of supporting ice. Eventually he did it, and as soon as the wall reached its marker Azerus collapsed due to over-exertion and his ice barricade shattered.
