**BOOOOOOM**
A thunderous explosion erupted once again in front of the Sage Temple as Richard hurled the loaded baton at the charging Bate. The detonation sent the monstrous creature hurtling in a different direction, its twisted form caught in the violent blast.
*SWIIII*
In the nick of time, Richard dropped into a crouch, narrowly avoiding the lethal horizontal slash. With a surge of adrenaline, he plunged the other baton deep into the goat's massive torso, the force of the blow sending shock waves through its grotesque body.
**BOOOOOM**
Another explosion and another beast were sent into fairyland.
