Wester could barely reduce the impact of the attacks. Coming from Eric, it felt like he was facing a completely different person now.
Not someone stronger than him. But someone dangerous to him. Those flames...
As Wester watched him closely, he noticed it. The exhilaration in Eric's eyes. A wild intensity that made his skin crawl.
Unhinged. Almost psychotic.
Eric did not speak. He only continued his barrage, striking and blasting without restraint.
Even his demeanor had changed. There was no hesitation, no thought, only raw intent. The nature of his fire was different as well, slipping past Wester's defenses and burning him directly.
"Is that really Eric?" Matt muttered in awe. "When did his fire go completely crimson?"
All of them stood rooted in place, watching it all unfold as Eric fought like a maniac.
"Tch," Wester clicked his tongue in irritation.
