A powerful sound like thunder boomed as Ceres sword mercilessly struck down against the hard scales of the Sand Worm like an asteroid. A powerful shockwave exploded into the vicinity from impact and the ground sunk and shattered.
The Sand Dragon wailed once more again — a large swath of its scales had been immensely damaged and shattered - cracked, although this time, Ceres hadn't managed to draw blood.
The outer scales shattered only this time like a plate, a web of nasty cracks snaking across a wide surface area.
The Sand Dragon had suffered it's second wound by the same hands yet again.
Almost as if evident of its anger or wrath, It's massive tail whipped through the air from the other side, swathing off the pesky figure against its back like an annoying fly.
Ceres took the brunt of the attack with her sword and barreled through the air like a broken figure. The young Ascended twisted her body expertly despite her spiralling balance.
