A'gang swung his Battle Axe, his power surging like roaring waves as he hacked viciously into a tree trunk. Wood chips flew, scattering through the lingering fog like a flurry of startled butterflies. The blazing flames upon the axe scorched the bark, causing the runes' light to flicker unsteadily. "Let's see you play tricks now!" A'gang roared, veins bulging on his forehead. His armor gleamed with a golden radiance during the battle, a symbol of courage that dispelled the surrounding gloom.
