The high temperature and explosive power of the Fireball Skill were enough to instantly turn any creature to charcoal. Only Professionals who had reached the rank of Upper Apprentice could mitigate the damage from the Fireball Skill using their own Protection Skills.
Of course, the Fiery Demon was not without weaknesses. Although its ranged attack was terrifying, its close-combat abilities were relatively limited; it wasn't even a match for the smaller Little Inferior Demons. Moreover, the interval between casting its Fireball Skill was also quite long. This meant that if one could withstand the first round of attacks and quickly close the distance, even ordinary soldiers could inflict serious damage on the Fiery Demon.
