The second chimera had been watching the entire fight.
Its eyes glowed brighter now, and the blue fire running through its body burned hotter. It lowered itself slowly, claws digging into the ground like it was preparing to sprint.
Asher rolled his shoulders once, steadying his breathing.
The Knight took position beside him again, sword raised.
The second chimera didn't waste time.
It shot forward immediately.
Asher moved first. He stepped in and met the charge with a straight punch to the creature's face. The impact made the chimera's head snap to the side, but it didn't stop. It swung its arm across its body, trying to cut him in half.
Asher blocked with his forearm, letting the force slide past him, and pushed off the ground to gain distance.
The Knight rushed in from behind. Its sword aimed for the chimera's back, but the creature's tail whipped around fast, smacking the blade aside with a loud clang.
