Blitz: Krieg (11)

'For a moment you forgot I was here? How long has it been since I spotted you, you b*stard!'

Matias waved his hand, and the blazing Roc behind him flew toward Neo. It let out a mighty howl and left a trail of deep red flames that instantly turned the surroundings into a fiery scene.

Neo took out a short wooden staff from his storage space. He grabbed its shaft as several light yellow magic arrays of different sizes circled it. In a blink of an eye, the shaft increased in length.

Neo whirled the now one-and-a-half-long wooden staff vertically in front, and it emitted a faint light gold light. A translucent golden barrier materialized before him seconds before the blazing Roc closed the distance.

The blazing Roc collided with the translucent barrier and exploded into deep red flames, smothering Neo in one fell swoop.
