Erend surged forward, his fiery aura flaring around him like an unstoppable inferno. His speed left streaks of flame in the air as he flew toward the cloaked figure with his destroying intent clear.
The cloaked figure, despite the dented armor from their earlier clash, remained composed.
He raised a gloved hand and the portals above him swirling violently as they expanded. The mechanical hum of Magic-infused machinery filled the air, accompanied by the glow of crimson runes.
"Now," he commanded.
The remaining seven mechanical birds from the same group as the three Erend had destroyed earlier. Their metallic wings gleamed under the sunlight and the runes etched into their reinforced frames pulsed with energy, getting ready for battle.
The portals twisted again, and new creations emerged. They were the smaller and sleeker mechanical birds. Their designs were more sinister with compact aerodynamic bodies meant for speed.
