"You know..." the [Hatred Demon] said.
Its voice was low and dripping with malice as it slowly approached Alex.
"I always wondered if someone strong enough to fight me would ever show up."
Alex didn't respond.
He kept stepping back, his eyes locked on the creature as it advanced.
Each step the demon took felt like a hammer striking the ground, the weight of its presence pressing down on him.
"It seems like today is not the day," the [Hatred Demon] continued, its grin widened, "You're too weak."
Alex clenched his fists, his mind was racing.
He couldn't afford to let the demon's taunts get to him.
He needed to stay focused.
He needed to find a way to turn the tide.
But the odds were stacked against him, and he knew it.
All around them, the dragons of [Dragon City] had realized the gravity of the situation.
Dozens of them, both in their humanoid forms and their massive dragon forms, rushed toward the [Hatred Demon].
