The intense heat singed his skin, leaving angry red marks in its wake, but he somehow emerged on the other side unharmed.
Standing up he took a moment to catch his breath and assess his surroundings.
The monster, momentarily stunned by his wild maneuver, began to roar in frustration.
Unfazed, Emir readied his weapon.
His eyes locked on his adversary, knowing that he had to act quickly, as the monster would soon regain its composure.
The massive salamander-like creature stared at him with its beady eyes, finally quieting down.
Its scales shimmered in the light, and he could see that they were made of a strange, iridescent material that seemed to shift and change color as he looked at it.
The monster then let out a deafening roar, and he felt the ground shake beneath his feet.
It was clear that this was no ordinary creature, but something far beyond anything he had ever faced before.
