With a single swing of its paw, the Hellfire Bear swatted me away. I had only just barely managed to parry its claws by crossing both of my swords, but I was unable to resist the immense force behind the blow.
"Kuh!"
I was sent crashing through several trees, hurtling over several dozen meters before I finally flipped myself over and halted my momentum by crunching my feet against an unfortunate tree trunk that splintered from the impact.
Lilith's Hellfire Bear was already charging toward me mercilessly, bellowing ravenously as flames combusted around its titanic form. Despite me swinging Gan Jiang and blasting him with a torrent of ice, the frost vaporized instantly upon coming contact with the superheated flames.
Then the Hellfire Bear barreled into the tree that I had used to stop my crash, immolating the unfortunate plant and setting the surrounding woodlands ablaze.
