Chapter 198 Intense battle (1)
Before they could ponder this revelation further, a loud screech pierced the air. They both looked up to see the sky darkening, covered by a swarm of the same creatures they had faced earlier.
"They’ve found us," Damon said, his voice tense. "We need to hide."
Kyra grabbed Meeko, who was now awake and frightened, and led him behind to thick tree covered in snow. "Stay here and don’t move," she told him firmly. "We’ll protect you."
Damon shifted back into his dragon form, ready to fight, while Kyra stood beside him. The creatures swooped down, their eyes glowing with malice.
Damon started fighting, his powerful tail and claws tearing through the creatures. But there were too many, and for every one he defeated, two more took its place.
Kyra focused, trying to harness the power she had felt earlier. She raised her hands, and this time, she could feel the energy flowing more freely, responding to her will. She sent out a wave of thunderous force, knocking several creatures out of the sky.
But the creatures were relentless. One managed to slash Damon’s shoulder, and another clawed at Kyra’s arm. Blood trickled down her skin, but she ignored the pain, concentrating on protecting Meeko and Damon.
Suddenly, a particularly large creature lunged at Kyra, its claws aimed at her throat. She reacted instinctively, summoning a burst of lightning that struck the creature mid-air, sending it crashing to the ground.
Damon, though injured, continued to fight fiercely. His movements were becoming slower, more labored. Kyra realized they couldn’t keep this up forever.
