Lars whipped out a broadsword from under his cloak, just in time to parry a stab attack from a goblin-like creature with a rusty sword. The cloaked man pointed his sword to the ground as it began to emanate a crimson aura, slashing it left and upwards to knock the weapon out of the creature's hand. He immediately followed with a stab to the demon's right side, sinking his blade in deep as the creature squealed in pain. Placing his right foot on the monster's chest, he pulled his blade out as the demon fell limply to the ground.
Lars spun around, sticking his sword into the ground in front of him.
"Stand back!"
He thrust both hands forward towards the demon trapped in the ice, then brought them in for a series of quick hand motions, gathering crimson energy in front of his chest, before thrusting them forward again, sending a bright red ball of light hurtling towards the ice statue, shattering it to pieces in a fiery explosion.
"These demons really are the dregs of the earth..."
