Against the tide of monsters, the red-haired adventurer carried a stream of fire with the swing of his blade. Around him, a half dozen goblins and kobolds lunged with their little weapons.
Phoenix slid his right foot out before spinning around, swirling the fire around him into a blazing whirlwind:
"Burning Cyclone!"
The spiraling element tossed the small fiends into the air, igniting them with a display of violent fireworks. None of the cannon fodder stood any chance, especially with the golems sweeping through the likes of goblins as easily as catching rats with a broom.
"Hell yeah—!" Phoenix couldn't help but feel hope watching the steel giants crushing through the numbers.
Some monsters slipped past the golems, leaving him and the adventurers essentially on "clean-up duty."
After sending the small fiends into the destruction of fire, Phoenix moved ahead amidst the wave before—something larger broke through.
