Just as Clayton was panicking, a ball of magma suddenly shot toward him. The sight instantly snapped him out of his daze.
Clayton dodged quickly. After that, he stopped paying attention to anything else around him.
The only thing on his mind now was escape.
Meanwhile, the bear, watching Clayton flee, looked pleased. It then turned toward the injured pheasant.
Judging by its condition, the pheasant was no longer capable of doing anything. That only made the bear even happier.
Without wasting time, the black bear moved closer to the pheasant. Seeing its prey within reach, the monstrous creature happily raised its claw.
But just as the glowing red claw—resembling molten magma—was about to strike the pheasant, a blast of magic shot out of nowhere and struck the bear's hand.
Bang!
The attack halted the bear's movement and even injured its hand, saving the pheasant from certain death.
