A new strategy

Alex knew he had to come up with a new strategy, something unexpected that would allow him to get past the beast's defences.

The huge creature was smart, it was learning, adapting, and Alex's usual tactics wouldn't work anymore.

He took a deep breath, focusing his thoughts. He needed to create a distraction, something to divert the beast's attention away from its ankles.

His mind raced as he quickly formulated a plan.

'Time to get creative!' He thought, a determined glint in his eyes.

Alex sprinted towards the beast, his body blazing with the crimson coloured Phoenix flames.

He darted from side to side, throwing off the beast's aim as it tried to swat him away.

He aimed for the beast's face, sending a concentrated blast of Phoenix flames towards its eyes!

Since the beast had targeted its defences towards its ankles, its only other weak point was now left unguarded.
