Alex didn't know how.
He didn't know why.
All he knew was that as long as he held Svalinn, the Fire Bullet of the fire salamander couldn't do anything to him.
Out of desperation, the monster unleashed a Fire Bullet at point-blank range, aiming at the young man's feet.
The timing was so perfect that Alex wasn't able to lower his shield to cover his feet on time.
However, when the Fire Bullet hit him, it dispersed as if it had hit something that could nullify fire damage.
When Alex finally understood what was happening, the fear and anxiety he felt earlier over fighting against the fire salamander vanished without a trace.
His original plan had been to lure the Rank 2 Monster to the guardian golems so they could fight it in his stead.
But with Svalinn, he no longer needed to do that.
"Slash!" Alex roared as he swung his sword at the monster's body, drawing blood.
There was a famous saying in ELO.
"A bleeding beast is just a corpse waiting for the final blow."
