He dove down, his fist crackling with energy as he slammed it into the serpent's skull. A shockwave erupted from the impact, sending magma splashing in all directions.
The Ember Serpent roared, thrashing violently, its tail whipping toward Leon with the force of a collapsing mountain.
Leon dodged with ease, landing on a floating rock. "Not bad, but you'll need more than brute force."
The serpent's eyes narrowed. "Very well. Let's see if you can handle this."
The entire Abyss began to shake, the lava rising unnaturally. The serpent's body glowed brighter, its power reaching new heights.
Leon smirked, "Now we're talking." He cracked his knuckles, preparing to have a good battle.
The Crimson Abyss rumbled as the Ember Serpent unleashed its full power. The molten rivers surged, forming towering waves of liquid fire that threatened to consume everything in their path.
Leon stood firm, his golden aura flickering against the intense heat. He wasn't worried.
