"Stand back," she commanded. "Let me try."
The others quickly retreated, and the young woman readied her bow, a blue arrow of energy forming in her hand.
"Ice-Celestial Arrow!"
She fired the arrow, and it flew straight and true, striking the dragon's eye.
"Argh!"
The beast roared, its body shuddering as the ice spread throughout its body.
The girl smiled. "Gotcha."
But her victory was short-lived as the dragon shook its head, shattering the ice.
"Impossible!"
The dragon lunged, its massive jaws opening wide.
"Get back!" the young woman shouted.
The others quickly scrambled away, barely escaping the dragon's attack.
"Damn! This thing is too powerful," one of the competitors cursed.
"Yeah, we're not hurting it at all," another agreed.
But the dragon was not done.
With a mighty roar, it swept its tail, knocking the group to the ground.
"Ow!"
"Ugh!"
