Chapter 221- Shadows of the Harbinger

The blade struck true, piercing the serpent's scales and unleashing a burst of radiant energy. The serpent let out a deafening roar, its body convulsing as the fragment's power was disrupted.

Loira joined him, channeling her magic into the wound. Together, their combined energy overwhelmed the serpent, causing it to collapse into the sand.

As its massive body dissolved into golden dust, the fragment piece floated upward, its light dim but unmistakable.

Loira placed a hand on his shoulder. "You okay?" I can see it took a toll on you. Next time let me handle the merging.

"Yeah," he said, his voice steady. "This fragment feels… different. More aggressive."
