James watched as the fireball hit and do some damage, but only minor damage unfortunately.
"Damnit." He muttered as he back into a tree. He looked downwards as he heard a slithering noise and noticed the tail rapidly heading his way. From his point of view it looked like some form of snake so he swiped at it with his sword, the blade now glowing blue as ice begun to form along it.
He swung as if to cleave it in half and now if the blade hit the tail it would freeze it on contact, and the ice would continue to spread.
