The Rank 5 man charged Kael with fire-coated fists.
Kael formed a hand sign.
"Dark Summon."
The shadow beneath his feet split open and the demon wolf erupted into existence.
"Kill him."
The wolf launched itself forward.
The Rank 5 fighter barely dodged the initial lunge. Fire erupted from his palms — WHOOSH — scorching the air where the wolf had been a moment before. But the wolf was already circling, shadow tendrils extending from its fur to trip and snare.
Kael didn't stand idle.
"Lightning Fang."
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck the fighter's left shoulder, forcing a pained grunt. The man twisted away, fire mana flaring defensively around his body.
"Lightning Fang."
Crack!
A second bolt caught him in the ribs as he tried to reposition. The fighter snarled and launched a counter — a concentrated fire blast that screamed toward Kael like a living comet.
WHOOOOOSH.
