Fireballs and lightning streaks lit up the dungeon air. Screams of monsters mixed with the cries of fury from hunters. For a brief moment, it seemed the tide was turning in Gideon's group's favor.
But nothing lasts forever. Neither good luck nor misfortune.
BOOOOM!
The dungeon boss finally moved.
The hulking orc stomped forward, its massive frame radiating pressure like a living storm. With a guttural roar, it swung its axe.
SWOOOOOSH!
"Jessi, put up a barrier!" Gideon shouted.
Jessi responded quickly. With a wave of her hand, a thick wall of ice rose instantly in front of the party's formation.
CRAAAACK!
The axe slammed down. Jessi's barrier didn't stand a chance. The colossal force shattered the ice with one blow, sending frozen shards flying everywhere.
"Another!" Gideon shouted, but it was too late.
BOOOM!
The next swing cleaved through the air like a reaper's scythe. The shockwave exploded in all directions.
