In the blink of an eye, Erend was already upon the cloaked figure and immeidately raising his fiery claw to swing at him with devastating speed. The figure barely managed to raise his armored arm to block, the reinforced metal glinting momentarily before the fiery impact landed.
CRACK!
Erend's claws tore into the armor, flames licking hungrily at the surface. The cloaked figure's eyes widened behind his mask as an alarm blared in his head, the chip embedded in his skull alerting him to critical damage.
The heat from Erend's flames burned through the armor, melting it at the edges.
"Impossible," he whispered, his voice a mix of disbelief and panic.
Desperately, the cloaked figure extended his other arm, leveling it at Erend's chest. A pulse of energy surged down the length of his limb as he fired an energy shot.
BANG!
