Chapter 446: Perseverance of a Champion
I fly up through the destroyed castle and alight on the upper floor. I see the ruin howling as it shoots [Ruin] into the city.
“OooOO, OooOoOOoOOOOOO!”
Just by getting closer to it, I feel an immense pressure weighing down on me. It’s really does feel like it is the urge to destroy made incarnate. Its appearance is a mass of iridescent light in the shape of a dragon.
I can’t see any way of fighting it.
Now that I am at the same height as the ruin, I can clearly see the destruction of the city. I see distant buildings bursting into iridescent light and crumbling apart one after the other. The ruin’s hollow eyes gaze out absently over the destruction.
“GuuruoOOOOOOOOh!”
I [Roar]. The ruin doesn’t turn to look at me. However, the moment I roar, it lifts its tail to point directly at me. It's still far away from me, but the tail is proof that it is aware of my presence. An attack's coming!
I slam my tail against the floor and kick off with my rear legs to jump backwards. A ball of iridescent light appears where I was standing just a moment ago and quickly bursts into an explosion of light.
The blast wave rushes towards me. I spread my wings, using them to catch the blast and propel myself backwards. Staying in the air, I look at the spot where I had been standing. A round hole of destruction now gapes open in the floor. It looks almost as though the space itself was cleaved away.
