Fifth Floor: The Molten Cavern of Lava Lizardmen (11)

As the dragon turned its attention back to Cyrus, Jesua once again immobilized its legs with her tendrils. This time, she sent a pulse of shadow magic through the restraints, causing explosions of dark energy along the dragon's lower body. The beast howled in pain, stumbling slightly, and Sylus and Cyrus both charged at its vulnerable sides.

Cyrus delivered a rapid series of aetheric slashes to the dragon's ribs, each strike chipping away at its molten scales and exposing the glowing magma beneath. Sylus followed up by freezing the exposed sections with precise strikes of his frost sword. Steam hissed violently as ice met magma, the rapid cooling causing cracks to spread along the dragon's armored body.
