Iguva - Fireball 4

Sneering, he formed a fireball in his hand and shot it at the hydra.

It flew in a straight line right for its target—a direct hit. Flames of crimson hellfire blazed up, licking the hydra’s entire body.

However, though it staggered, its feet didn’t stop moving. It kept running, engulfed in flames. No, the flames extinguished after a moment, so that must have been an illusion. The hydra’s extraordinary willpower only made Iguvua feel like that was what he saw.

Iguvua frowned in displeasure. The creature had withstood one of his attacks. That deeply hurt his pride.

“What a bother. Die.” He shot another fireball at the hydra.

Hellfire roasted the hydra’s entire body, and even at this distance, Iguvua had the feeling he could smell burning flesh. He should have injured it enough that it would hesitate to keep coming, even if it didn’t die, but…

“Why don’t you stop? Why are you still coming at me?”
