BOOOOM!
His punch slammed into his opponent, driving its massive body onto the field of spikes.
The monster roared in pain as steel dug into its back.
Ash didn't let up. He hammered his fists again and again into its chest and shoulders, each strike shaking the ground.
The spikes groaned under the pressure, sinking deeper into its flesh with every blow.
Blood spilled across its skin, but Ash's attack didn't stop. He pushed harder, his scales glowing faintly as his dragon bloodline fueled his rage and strength.
Slowly, the metal spikes buried deeper, piercing through muscle and bone until the creature's roars turned into desperate howls.
"ARGGGGG!" Its roar shook the ground. Both heads glared at Ash, their single eyes glowing bright red.
But it never landed a strike. Each time it tried to fire, Ash used wind magic to snap its jaw upward, forcing the blast to shoot harmlessly into the sky.
