The intensity of their clash escalated, with flames and dark energy colliding, radiating both scorching heat and the scent of mortality.
Gradually, Saphir recognized the formidable prowess of 54 and braced himself for a relentless confrontation.
Summoning the last vestiges of his magic energy, he was enshrouded in flames, his form resembling a razor-sharp blade as he lunged at 54.
Almost instinctively, 54 dodged Saphir's assault, simultaneously thrusting his dagger towards Saphir's chest.
However, his strike missed its mark, as Saphir nimbly sidestepped the potentially lethal blow.
Pivoting, Saphir retaliated with vehemence, the raging inferno within pushing him to strike without mercy, vowing to fell this detestable foe then and there.
From Saphir's hand materialized a blazing fireball, charged with destructive force, hurtling towards 54.
Sensing the dread potency of the incoming projectile, 54 dared not be complacent.
