But the Magma Ape never panicked. He pumped out more molten essence to defend from the knives while rushing to meet Tilgron head-on. The ape roared and threw a massive, lava-crusted punch.
Tilgron roared in turn, accepting the challenge. But, just before the attacks would collide, Tilgron retracted his claw attack and tucked into a tight front flip. The tiger's tail became an icy morning star and was whipped forward with incredible momentum.
The tail and fist crashed into each other, setting off another steam explosion.
However, one of the beasts was pushed outside of the steam cloud.
Blood dripped and trickled, stunning the audience. The beast panted but was grinning with pride, ignoring the glacial blue knives jutting out of his back. They were melting away but the knives managed to hit their target before evaporating.
