The heat and shock wave from the fireball's explosion hit him. It was so hot that it felt like it was burning his skin. That was weird with his fireball.
He could not feel the heat when the fireball was still on his palm. It felt like the fire could not hurt him when it was on his palm. However, the moment it left his palm, it was the same as the other fire. It could hurt him as well.
It was fortunate that he was leaning against the tree. He didn't get blasted; his body was pressed against the tree. Thanks to it, he managed to gather his breath. His skin was still burning; the searing pain remained.
His chest heaved up and down, and his head cleared up a little bit. He finally calmed down after the beating he received.
The Elite Kobold Fighter was on the other side, leaving a trail of fire as it crashed into a tree as well. The fire burned the flesh as smoke billowed through the gap between the armor.
