The Inferno Serpent's aura intensified, causing the lava around it to bubble. At the same time, flaming swirls appeared in the air, condensing into fierce projectiles.
"But you managed to make me angry, very much so. So, either keep fighting and make me retreat, or die, right here and now!"
A multitude of flaming orbs hailed along the cave, about to rain down on Adam, who lay amongst the debris.
