The Goblin Champion might not have expected Red to suddenly cast the Fireball. He froze for a moment when he saw the swirling fire formed in Red's hand. The distance between them was close; it would be hard for him to dodge the fireball. The Goblin Champion blanked at that moment.
That was when the Chief interfered. He landed right next to Red, grabbed Red's wrist, and directed it upward.
Swoosh!
BOOOOM!
The fireball was shot upward and hit the branch. It detonated with a big blast as the raging fire expanded outward. The shock wave and the heat wave spread out, causing the goblins and hobgoblins to scream. The splinters from the big branch were hurtling in all directions like arrows.
The big chunk of the branch that was triple the hobgoblin size fell off. It was fortunate there was no one close by. The goblin and the hobgoblins had already fled when the Goblin Champion came for Red. They fled further when they saw the fire.
