450 Clash Of Ice And Fire

Just as Drakar smiled menacingly upon seeing the tip of his dagger about to pierce Rowena's heart, his eyes widened when she suddenly raised her hand.

Rowena's swift reaction took Drakar aback as her deft maneuver caused his dagger to plunge into her shoulder instead of her heart. 

Drakar's brows raised in disbelief, not understanding her ploy until the blood that seeped from her wound erupted into fierce, consuming flames.

"Yargh!" The intense crimson fire spread rapidly, engulfing his arm and eliciting a primal growl of pain from him as he instinctively recoiled.

"Your insignificant experience can never match up to the instincts of my forefathers," Rowena declared, her voice cold and heavy as she delivered a powerful kick to Drakar's chest. 

The force of her strike resonated through the air, a shockwave rippling outward as Drakar was sent hurtling backward.
