The cyclops roared, a deep, guttural sound that sent shivers down my spine. Its colossal frame towered over us, and every step it took caused the ground to quake. I tightened my grip on my sword, feeling the weight of the moment. Aurelia stood beside me, her black and white flames flickering in anticipation.
"Stay focused," I whispered to Aurelia, trying to steady my racing heart.
The cyclops lunged forward, its massive fist swinging down towards us. We leapt aside just in time, the ground splintering where its fist connected. Aurelia retaliated immediately, launching a torrent of her black flames at the beast. The flames engulfed the cyclops, but it merely roared in anger, swatting at the fire like an annoying insect.
"It's tough," Aurelia muttered, her eyes narrowing.
"We'll have to wear it down," I replied, already strategizing our next move.
