Kaedros inhaled the blistering air, his eyes narrowing as heat swirled around him. He triggered the Flow, breathing fast until it felt as if molten magma coursed through his veins.
"Let's put it to the test, shall we?" His voice was low, edged with excitement. "Let's see who burns the hottest."
Facing the three-headed monster, Kaedros felt a thrill pulse through his bones. This was no ordinary battle, it was spell against spell, strength against strength.
Fire against fire.
Something he'd never dared in Dragon City, where his Bloodline curse left him vulnerable to Draconic fire.
But now… a slow grin spread across his lips. "You dare?"
The creature's flames dimmed, becoming shadow-like cloaks that rippled along its form.
"I dare," it rumbled. "And your ashes will be the proof, fool!"
It unleashed a torrent of black fire that seared the air, but Kaedros was already above it, watching in grim satisfaction as the attack tore into the ranks of lesser beasts.
