Dragon Frost Armor!
Ice shards materialized rapidly on Hex's chest and forearms, while his head was partially covered. Hex put his arms up to shield the rest of his face against the flames streaking toward him.
"You are strong but too young, boy," Grump said grumpily. The elderly Knight continued waving his staff, shooting out flames at Hex.
The flames were hot. They melted the frost guard around Hex instantly. Thankfully, Hex was using the incomplete frost armor as a second layer of defense. His energy cloak was still the primary layer of defense. Although the flames made sizzling noises against it, the cloak remained intact.
'Again,' Hex muttered as more ice shards coalesced around his chest, arms, and face. While fighting seriously, Hex used the opportunity to train his techniques against the Knights.
I love adding twists and turns. I think it's almost a fetish of mine. But how do you guys find it?
I am using these chapters to build some world, and let Hex train his new techniques while getting better at the things he can do but hasn't been able to demonstrate so far.
