The Depths of battle

Chapter 65: The Depths of Battle

The dragon struck first, its massive tail slicing through the water like a tidal wave of pure force. The group scattered instinctively, each moving with an agility powered by their activated Pyrope. Thrain was the first to retaliate, propelling himself forward with a burst of heated propulsion. His movements were sharper and faster than before, the ocean's crushing weight countered by the ferocity of his anger and the unbearable heat radiating from his body.

Daelan followed close behind, the sword of dragon bone glowing faintly in the dim, murky depths. With a precision born of years of battle, he struck at the dragon's flanks. But even the sharpness of his blade barely left a mark on the creature's impenetrable scales. The dragon's laughter rumbled through the water, a cruel, mocking sound that made the group's situation feel even more dire.
