A chime echoed in Alex's mind, accompanied by a glowing notification.
Ding!
[Would you like to use Upgrade Stone on a skill?]
"Yes!" Alex growled, his grip tightening around the upgrade stone as he sprinted.
[Select skill.]
"Exploding Touch," he muttered, narrowly dodging a black flame blast from the elder shaman.
The fiery attack slammed into a tree, reducing it to ash in seconds.
The intensity of the monkey's onslaught had reached a dangerous peak, and Alex could feel the heat radiating against his skin.
[Would you like to use Upgrade Stone on Exploding Touch?]
"YES!" Alex shouted, his voice raw with frustration.
He leaped to the side as a flame dragon soared past him, the searing heat brushing dangerously close.
The attack smashed into a nearby tree, devouring it in a swirling inferno.
The pressure was suffocating.
The air around him felt like it was boiling, every breath coming with an ache.
