ROAAARRRRRR!

A thunderous tremor rocked the cavern, shaking its very foundation.

Cryosirentis's eyes darkened, its malice flaring. It unleashed another jagged sphere of ice—larger this time, a condensed death sentence hurtling toward an insufferably fly.

Daisuke inhaled. Steadied himself.

He wasn't a mage. He had no staff.

But he did have a perfectly good pair of magic daggers.

Power surged from deep within, igniting his core. The energy coursed through his veins and flowed into his blades. A tidal wave of fire erupted forth like a living tsunami, crashing against the incoming projectile. The ice sphere shattered, evaporating into steam before the inferno consumed the fiend in a maelstrom of fire.
