The dragon's body that Hex slashed with his black hand split into several pieces, like meat on a chopping block, then fell to the ground. As for the dragon's head that Hex hit with his skeletal hand, it stretched out into a thin line before disappearing.
The creature that resembled a phoenix pulled its head back. The glowing white eyes and smile seemed to shimmer a little more brightly than usual. Then, its head shot forward, while a huge blanket of black flame shot out of it. As for the old man, he pulled back a little, getting behind the creatures he summoned.
Hex disappeared just before the black flame hit him, letting it land on the ground below him. The blanket of fire did not die down once it hit the ground. In fact, it grew in intensity, making it look as though a wildfire was raging through the forest.
