The fight began instantly.
The Dabba attacked first, closing the distance with brute speed that belied its massive frame. One moment it was several meters away, the next it was right on top of Jelo, forcing him onto the defensive before he could even process what was happening.
Jelo barely managed to throw himself to the side as the creature's claws came down where his head had been a split second before.
The impact of the strike hit the ground with enough force to send cracks spider-webbing through the already damaged earth, chunks of rock exploding outward from the point of contact.
He didn't have time to think, only to react.
Jelo countered immediately, his hands moving through the familiar motions as he activated Dragon Claw. Fire energy surged through his body, concentrating in his arms before erupting outward in multiple energy strikes, blazing projectiles that shot toward the Dabba in rapid succession.
