Before the monster could do anything else, Bruce tried to pierce the eyes of the monster with his sword, but the monster stopped the weapons with its fire gloves. Still, Bruce used Bash and the monster began to be pushed backward.
The giant beast's expression shifted from confidence to surprise as it realized that the test of strength was not going in its favor against Bruce. Its fiery fists seemed to tremble slightly as it struggled to hold its ground.

The beast's instinctual response was to jump back, its massive form easily evading both Bruce's charge and Angela's impending swing. Yet, Bruce wasn't relying solely on brute force; he skillfully utilized his Taunt ability, compelling the monster to pause in its retreat, right in the trajectory of Angela's hammer strike.
