Fighting Maniac

Crackle...

The Purple Flames crackled as they feasted on the tree's dry bark, inching ever closer to its roots.

"Shit!"

Drake cursed under his breath, knowing that the sapling wouldn't last much longer.

Clenching his sword, he braced himself to abandon his cover.

Whoosh...

As another beam of Purple Flames struck the lifeless tree, Drake made a split-second decision and hurled himself out of harm's way.

However, seeing this, The enormous bear quickly adjusted its aim and redirected the Purple beam towards him.

Drake took off running, with the beam chasing after him, leaving a trail of purple fire on the scorched on the ashen ground.

He stole a quick glance at the girls and saw that they had successfully put some distance between themselves and the battle.

Whoosh...

He breathed a sigh of relief before swinging his greatsword with all his might and muttering an incantation.

"King's Sword: Slash of Belief!"
