"Ah. Two pronged attack. I doubt it would do much agai- Ah, Your Majesty, that's just not fair." Blackfire shook his head helplessly once more when he finally noticed a large monstrosity made up of countless skeletons rise up from the ground, glowing with all sorts of colours. A large pair of wings featured rather prominently on its back.

"Giant Skeleton Mage!" Alexander grinned. "It's pretty powerful. I dare say that even you will have a little bit of trouble dealing with it. Like it?"

"It would be a good ally to have, and a troublesome enemy." Blackfire smiled, feeling quite sympathetic for the two girls. "But as for me having trouble dealing with it? I believe that you're very much mistaken, Your Majesty."

"Really? How quickly do you reckon you'll take to defeat the Giant Skeleton Mage?" Alexander asked curiously.

"Two moves. Three, tops." Blackfire gave a modest estimation.
