However, at extreme speed, Asmodeus flew towards the dragon, his axe pulled back, and he prepared to strike at the beast.
He twisted his upper body, cutting through the air with his huge black axe. He aimed to deal heavy damage to the dragon in a single slash.
But before he could do that, the dragon's right claw flicked out.
Klang!
Axe met claw in a sudden exchange of force.
The axe was knocked off course, flying to the side, and Asmodeus himself went spinning into the dirt.
Thud!
Asmodeus kicked off the obsidian walls before hitting the ground.
His wings flapped rapidly, sending him toward the dragon.
Grrr!
The dragon opened his jaws, and a ball of flame grew within it.
Boom!
It spat out an intense beam of fire magic.
