Red Meat

The fire collided with the beast's face. The beast gritted its teeth as it bore the pain. It wasn't granted an easy death, it would be burned alive. It had killed Kristie indeed but it had given him a much merciless death. It had killed him flat with his leg before sucking his resources dry. It was painless… an instant kill that didn't allow him to feel any pain. It felt that it didn't deserve such a death.

But can the beast say that aloud?

Little by little the fireball surrounded the beast's whole body. His face, the tree at its back all burned to cinders. Ashes rose to the roof that was otherwise black giving it a smoky appearance.

"Screech!" The beast couldn't hold back its pain any more as it cried. Its flesh was falling apart as it got roasted and turned black. The fire only slowly crept as it spread to his whole body.
