Draimon: Fracture: Erasend- Book 1: Deascension

Chapter 11: Burning

I flew to the side, the Cannibal rushing past me, leaving a trail of fire; I felt something drag me down. I was pulled right into the thing's stream of fire with myself forming a bark barrier to block most of the blast. I severed the tentacles, the source of the fire and sent the Cannibal tumbling down with a spin of my wings. I dove with a solar beam charging in my mouth. I released the beam, but it pushed itself to the side with fire from its palms, the beam gliding past. It spun and stretched its regenerated tentacles towards me. They grabbed hold, and another spin sent me slamming to the ground; rising, I saw it walking towards me, stretching its whole body as usual

"Change of plan," it said as its body began smoking, "I was born a Pyromancer, so its best to fight with what I was born with; with a few additions." It said as its arms catching fire, the fire split into bursts with a wave. No matter how hard I tried, I could not sense it nor predict its path. I jumped and flew far out of their path and retaliated with my own burst of solar, with its leaping out of the way with its tentacles. I saw the fire build and concentrate at its palms, with itself rushing towards me.

 Even though I was airborne, it leapt up to meet me. With two blasts, my wings were torn off, sending me tumbling with it grabbing hold of me. With the fire this close, my body became charred. However, my head was free, so I prepared another solar strike with the fire swirling faster in response. I struck first, the beam slicing through its body, the two halves falling and each releasing its blast. My wings regenerating, and a flap sent me clear of the lingering blaze. I landed and awaited its arrival. If I joined the battle, it would come for me, and I knew I would not survive if it did. Knowing that I did my best to restore my lost energy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Above Livigon fought the heads, himself struggling with the new environment. Despite dealing little damage himself, a flying Cannibal still crept from a skull and flew after him, with it being disintegrated by a solar flying serpent Dragon.

"You must not end up like your sister; stay close," it said.

"We should help her," he replied.

"No, he knows she wishes to stay."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I awaited its arrival, and seeing it the Wyrm-Devourer move farther and farther away, I knew I had fallen for its trap. Another one came crashing down in front of me.

"Much thanks for waiting patiently for your death," it said, holding its arms out "I know that must be hard, like uh, I know I'm about to just me ******* die already," it said as its entire body became enveloped by that fire. "Now where were we, a yes, I was to not come close to you, well good ******* luck with that," it said. Fireballs and streams shot towards me, so I formed a bark barrier to hold the fire back, the plate burned away, so I had to keep creating them. Despite its lethality, when it was near, I felt my solar magic grow stronger, "tell me, can you sense this fire?" It asked, "I have fought Dragons before, and you do not dodge like them at all."

"No," I answered with a solar laser with it leaping to the side.

"Thought so; this fire isn't made with elemental energy; it's made with organs I've been able to grow thanks to this body." I would not let its words distract me, so I pressed the attack whilst dodging it answered.
