The armour-guardian stopped as the wall of flame surrounded Astalos. Instead of trying to go through the wall, it tried to cut the wall with its sword. As it swung the sword, the ignite spell hit the sword. It increased the temperature of the sword, causing it to turn red.
Astalos believed this was his chance. He casted
Air Shield just in case the sword penetrates his fire walls, and sent
Ignite and
Lump to the guardian.
The giant sword slashed through the wall and hit the shield. The shield managed to deflect the attack once again but the guardian did not lose its balance like the last time. But the ignite spell hit it in the chest and the lump hit the same spot. The combo worked nicely and it managed to push the guardian a few meters. It even dented the chest plate of the guardian.
But the small victory was short lived as the runic words appeared around the chest plate of the guardian, it started to recover its original shape. Realizing it was impossible to beat this thing without a spell powerful enough to imprison the guardian, Astalos ran into the fortress while the guardian was healing.
