Chapter 196

A FIREBALL RIPPED PAST BELSESUS' head and engulfed the now screaming rockvorhn. Behind him Cat muttered and the fireball turned white, incinerating the creature. The others immediately behind it hesitated and above them a urotho whistled and snarled a command. The rockvorhn still appeared uncertain, then the urotho barked the command again.

'Hold on, Belsesus!' Cat yelled from behind and the centaur tensed, readying his axe.

The rockvorhn launched at them and before he had a chance to lift his weapon, a wall of fire erupted in front of him. It didn't stop the closest creature that slammed into his breastplate scrabbling, and shrieking, trying to get away from the flames. Belsesus threw the stricken animal back into the inferno.

'Hotter, Cat!'

The fire flashed white hot then vanished, leaving the charred smoking remnants of the rockvorhn scattered before them.
