Accompanied by a mournful dragon's roar, a scorching Fire Breath erupted from the Half-Dragon Marcus's mouth.
Facing a conical Fire Breath attack, retreating would be an ineffective way of avoiding it, as it would only expose you to an even greater range of flames. Better countermeasures would be to find a shelter that can defend against the Fire Breath, hide under the dragon's body, or try to change the direction of the attack like a true Barbarian.
Just as the raging flames were about to pour out of the Half-Dragon's mouth, Bartlett loosened his grip, removing all the force exerted on the 'Touch of Tyranny.' Then, at the moment when his opponent's body involuntarily leaned forward, he delivered a heavy punch to the dragon head that was about to turn him into ashes.
