Valeriazar, with a wicked grin stretched across his face, emerged from the rubble. "How delightful," he hissed.
In the blink of an eye, he lunged towards them once more, his speed causing the ground beneath him to rumble with an unyielding force.
But before Valeriazar could reach his intended prey, Merlin gracefully extended his hand, unleashing an unseen force field that reverberated through the area. The impact was akin to a rocket blast, propelling Valeriazar backwards with a thunderous crash. The display of power left the group momentarily stunned.
In that moment of vulnerability, Garret seized the opportunity, wielding his enchanted sword, Darkfire Edge, which radiated with a fiery black energy. With a mighty swing, he struck Valeriazar, only to be met with the unexpected resistance of black scales that shielded the beast's body, cushioning the effect of the blow.
