I took a deep breath and raised my left hand toward the incoming fire pillar.
Heat washed over me, but I stood firm.
"Blazing Sfera."
Essence churned in my core, then surged out through my palm. A burst of purple fire flared to life, swirling and compressing into a rotating sphere. In seconds, it morphed into a roaring blaze, crackling with raw energy.
I gave the command, and the fiery sphere unleashed a concentrated beam, a lance of pure destruction, straight toward the incoming fire pillar.
Boom!
The two attacks clashed midair, sending a shockwave rippling through the battlefield.
Flames scattered, sparks raining down as I kept pouring more Essence into my attack, intensifying the heat, condensing the fire even further.
A rush of air.
My instincts flared.
The bat I had kicked moments ago was already charging, iron pillar swinging down in its right hand.
I didn't turn.
