At the same time, the Dark Fire user scrambled away as he showed a panic expression. Nonetheless, he noticed Anya by his side with her foxfire aura still glowing but showing signs of exhaustion in her stance.
He stabbed with his blackened sword, aiming for her abdomen. She parried with a hastily made Foxfire Blade, but the blow wrenched her arms. Burning sparks scattered all over her, causing little holes in her garments.
"Die!" the man shouted, charging in for a second hit. But Anya twisted, letting the blade slice the air next to her ribs.
She responded by smashing a Foxfire Explosion orb into his chest. The resulting explosion threw him backward.
He was able to keep his footing, but a substantial section of his armor had been blown away, exposing charred flesh.
"Fuck you," he rasped. "Just go down!"
