It all felt futile; the shreels of arachnids echoed throughout the forest-like park, following behind him as he felt his body hardly responding to his commands anymore.

Before he could make out the identity of the stranger, he passed out just as a massive wave of flames was unleashed at the swipe of his savior's arm, completely engulfing the swarm of spiders in one move.
