"Roar!"
No sooner had the voice faded than Qiuqiu's eyes flared with purple-red flames, and it opened its mouth to release a stream of fire entwined with purple-red particles toward the Yermak.
Valery's smile froze on his face, the fireball slowly enlarging in his pupils.
"Aoow!"
At the critical moment, a gigantic bear creature with brown fur rose on its hind legs, erecting a semi-transparent energy shield in front of Valery.
Crack!
The moment the raging fire column came into contact with the energy shield, cracks appeared across it.
As the relentless flames continued to assault, the energy shield gradually began to disintegrate, and tiny particles of energy flaked off it.
Boom!
"Aoow!"
The instant the energy shield dissipated, the bear creature stepped forward, crossing its arms to bear the onslaught of the inferno, its fur crackling as the bear's pained howls echoed in the sea breeze.
