At the edge of the forest, only Isiah and Lexie remained facing the dark creature, though Isiah treated the beast as if he lacked even a shred of fear.
He knew he possessed superior raw power, but speed remained his primary disadvantage. On this night, the Big Mouth creature was far from being as strong as a giant, yet its blinding swiftness was its greatest asset.
The moment the beast caught sight of Isiah, it surged forward at an incredible pace, its frantic eyes darting wildly in every direction as if scouting for its next victim.
Isiah offered a dark smile, raising his grimoire and uttering the spell without hesitation: "Cripanto lamkawa."
The incantation translated to a bath of lava.
It was one of the most devastating spells he had ever practiced, requiring a massive expenditure of dark energy. With his rage already boiling near the surface, he merely needed to lure the creature into close range.
