Boom!
All the fireballs in the area began to converge toward the spot where the first fireball exploded. Before they could get far, another fireball exploded on the other end of the cluster.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One by one, on different ends of the field of fireballs, the balls of volatile energy began to explode, taking Richard completely by surprise.
"What?! How?" The man was flabbergasted, but his professionalism kicked in and he snapped back to reality. He began to conjure more and more fireballs at a much faster rate than what Ru was able to get rid of.
Before long, whatever trick that Ru had been using finally faltered. Like a flickering holographic image, Ru appeared at the edge of the room, his form flickering and fading, but returning to normal. His face was flushed, and he was obviously exhausted.
