'I have to save him!'
Helen moved before her mind fully caught up to what was happening.
Fire exploded around both her arms while she thrust her palm directly toward the charging Knight Captain. Instead of spreading wildly, the flames compressed tightly into a concentrated stream aimed straight across its path.
BOOOOM!!!
The blast crashed into the Captain hard enough to tear apart part of the stone floor beneath its feet. Flames swallowed the armored undead completely for half a second while heat spread across nearly ten meters of the courtyard.
"Zich, move!" Helen shouted while gasping for breath.
The Knight Captain walked out of the flames anyway.
Part of its armor glowed red from the impact while melted metal dripped slowly from one shoulder plate, yet its speed barely slowed. Before Helen could create another spell, the Captain twisted sideways and drove its armored boot directly into her stomach.
CRAAACK!!!
Helen's body blasted backward across the courtyard.
