double lux

I slipped right under the twisted stream reached up the touch the bottom with a burning hand as I drew near. The speed of my approach was such that both the stream and the air around us ignited, heat and fire flooding in every direction—and then I made contact. I crashed into the creature’s throat with force enough to crush it and make it cave in, incandescent arms sinking almost to the shoulder in the beast’s flesh. It gave a croaking, sputtering hiss, drawing back and falling. Only then did I use my stored heal, restoring my power fully. My hands flexed wide, power gathering in either hand as I channeled all the power I’d regained into a new pair of attacks.

And then there was light.

After I blew its head clean off with a pair of Lux Aeterna that fed off each other until they merged into a single attack, the fight was pretty much over. I say ‘pretty much’ because even that wasn’t enough to kill the damn thing outright—losing its head just made it thrash around and panic for a while—but it did take most of the fight out of the thing; even if it wanted to kill us, its main forms of attack originated from its mouth and I’d well and truly blown that option to hell for it.
