Aurelia rushed to my side, her flames still burning brightly. "We can't let it win," she said, determination shining in her eyes.
"Agreed," I replied, forcing myself to stand. Pain shot through my body, but I ignored it. We had to stop this cyclops before it could do more damage.
The cyclops let out a deafening roar, its single eye blazing with fury. It stomped towards us, each step causing the ground to shake. Aurelia and I exchanged a quick glance, understanding passing between us without words. We had to be smart about this. The cyclops was evolving too quickly for us to handle it with brute force alone.
"Aurelia, we need to divide its attention," I said, tightening my grip on my sword. "You keep it distracted with your flames. I'll try to find a weak spot."
"Got it," she replied, her flames intensifying.
