I stumbled on the ground and rolled for a while before coming to a halt after a meter or so. I gained a few injuries and skinned myself in the process, but those were the least of my concerns.
I quickly got back to my feet and created a thick wall of both ice and water to block another upcoming breath of gleaming flames. Not waiting for wasting any more time, I flanked to the side as the flames and my defensive wall collided and released several clouds of steam.
There was no second thinking about it. I instantly hid within the steam and got close to the klauth. He wasn't able to identify me as he was confused, sniffing my smell in the steam and the water and ice I'd released.
A sword was raised high before it struck down on the dragon's left foot. The attack this time was direct, the blade connected with the flesh and smoothly sliced it completely in two pieces as I moved along with my sword.
