The torrent of red fire poured toward Yanael. It was too late to stop the intruder. And the horizontal pillar of flames was too powerful for Mandra to blow it away. It hit Yanael and splattered to the sides.
The intruder maintained the fire for a second or a half but it was still enough to reignite the embers in their surroundings with its heat. The intruder wasn't delighted. He didn't care enough about anyone other than the girl who killed his brother to feel such emotion.
But he was relieved that he could remove an annoyance and an interference.
That was until the flames faded.
He had not removed an annoyance. She was still there and without even a hint of a char on her. His flames had not reached her.
He frowned until he noticed the molten, mostly translucent golden barrier in front of her. He turned to the young man. Another annoyance, but one that could be dealt with later. He focused back on the people actually fighting him and not hiding in the back.
