Match ends 6/13 8 PM CST

Sabrina still felt tingly in her arms from when Beryn had clashed with her. She, regrettably, realized that if not for Abby's help she would have been blown away by the attack at best.  She didn't have time to thank her, though, as the battle continued at a rapid pace. And it seemed that Beryn hadn't had enough of her. She tried to give her best confident laugh but it broke a little as she said, "it seems you know who the biggest threat it, perhaps you're smarter than you look!" She then yelped as the beast-man nearly cleaved her in two. The water that Gene had put up was cut through quite quickly but it did give her a moment to react. Unlike with Abby she didn't feel as compelled to thank Gene, perhaps because of her brain being occupied by the sight of the axe coming for her. She only avoided it by leaping with wind magic up above Beryn. "Fine, be that way, see if you dodge this!" Sabrina said, somewhat childishly. And this time seeming to forget to do her usual pre-attack chant she cast an explosion right below at Beryn. She pumped a fist as the attack connected, and seemed to not realize she had nearly blasted Gene, before realizing that she was still falling and Beryn was still focused on her. She tried to swing her scythe at the gap between breastplate and helmet but Beryn was fast and he parried her blow with his arm itself. Leaving her wide open to take a punch from the other side. She yelped again as she was knocked back, still in the air, towards a patch of the dead garden. Before she landed she managed to compose herself enough to fire off a small ball of fire at Beryn and then she crashed down into the wilted grass and faded flowers.  As she got up she realized that Beryn had partially blocked the magic by simply swinging his axe at it. "tch...gonna need something bigger huh..." She was sure her explosion had hurt him. But was that enough? No, she was certain of it, she needed an even bigger explosion. Maybe if she had enough energy to focus...but she wasn't sure she could do that. So if not bigger.... "Maybe if the next one is closer he won't be able to dodge." she muttered and an idea came to mind. She braced herself as Beryn made his way towards her and then began running towards him. If she got close enough, and managed to avoid getting knocked back again, perhaps she could create an explosion at the exact right spot and really do some damage. Or maybe blow off some of the beastman's armor. Setting her gaze for the part of the armor under the arm not holding the axe Sabrina continued going until she felt she was close enough to aim properly. "This time I've got you, EX-PLOOOOSION!"  Beryn had attempted to speed up to stop her from casting her spell. However unknown to him, and to herself, Sabrina was not thinking about her own safety. The explosion landed exactly where she had wanted and he was blown backwards by the incredible force of it. Part of the armor where she had aimed had become blackened or blown off entirely, leaving an exposed area. However Sabrina could not see this immediately as she was thrown back by her own magic. Landing rougher than before and feeling like she was just hanging on to death's door. The garden around her had caught fire but the rain was already putting it out as she lay there and groaned. "Oh. I AM strong huh..." she muttered.
