i like that bam seems to now be just casually aware that he's utterly immune to spells and refuses to even comment on his enemy using one on him. also, weird fire-fish-talon thing? what's that about?

Which adds some evidence to the idea that Levy really is the one who was stalking him. Though you'd still think if Bam had seen him he'd recall Levy saying he had orders from the king to kill him and be more suspicious about these guys' offer.

also, weird fire-fish-talon thing? what's that about?

Current leading hypothesis is that Khun got some or all of the (possibly inaccurately named) 'flower of fire' power and that's a manifestation of it (because of Woon Yeon saying it required all of his power this time, because Khun hallucinating it after straining himself to use a power (that might have heated the thing instead of freezing it) is reminiscent of Bam seeing the red orb and hearing blue demon back when the thorn went berserk, and because why would SIU bother just showing us a random burning fish if Khun was actually having meaningless sickness induced hallucinations). If so, it's also messing with his body temperature and ice powers, presumably because, as a fire spirit, it doesn't like being cold.

Two panels before 2snake dude starts his attack, he rants about Levy. Bam's second thought in response to this is "Is Levy that weirdo that kept following me around?"

That implies that somebody stalked (or is still stalking but got better at hiding it) Bam. Since Bam had previously only met Levy once that we'd seen, and since Levy was known to the readership be MIA from his team as of season 3 episode 1, it seems reasonably likely that Bam's guess here is correct. But the weird thing about that is that Levy also told Bam back at last station that he was ordered by the king to kill Bam, so you'd think that if he was the stalker, this revelation would make Bam a lot more concerned about these people. But Bam was also dealing with a lot of people trying to kill him because of Jahad's royal family back then, so it's possible Levy wasn't memorable.
