Buzz!
The air rumbled as the glyph erupted with blinding light, and from the heavens descended a colossal dragon made of dazzling starlight and cosmic energy.
Its scales were like diamonds, its eyes burning with the intensity of twin suns. The beast roared, its voice shaking the very fabric of reality, and coiled protectively around Hidetaka.
"Not bad," Lucius complimented as his hand casually stretched toward the celestial dragon, a cruel grin spreading across his face.
"You won't be smiling when this is over." Emperor Hidetaka sneered, flicking his fingers.
Roar!
The celestial dragon lunged forward, its massive claws slashing through the air and sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield.
Lucius braced himself, summoning his cosmic absorption to counter the assault, but nothing happened. The dragon's energy wasn't just raw power; it was imbued with a celestial will, resisting the pull of his absorption.
