In an instant, Rocky darted forward dozens of meters, unable to spare a glance at the explosion behind him. He pushed his armor to accelerate once more, as the Magic Dragon had already unleashed its second fireball!
A deafening roar resounded. The forest was once again turned into a sea of flames, but Rocky narrowly evaded the attack with the speed of his armor. Yet, the third fireball came crashing down.
Watching the third fireball descend like a massive meteor headed straight for him, Rocky made a bold decision—not to dodge further. Instead, he soared into the air with a swift motion.
He had already realized that engaging in ground combat with the Magic Dragon while exposed was utterly out of the question. If nothing else, the relentless fireballs alone would be impossible to endure. His only option was to fight in the skies.
