An Interesting Discovery

Caleb circulated a stream of cold mana around himself to counter the intense heat.

Even then, sweat poured down his body, making everything uncomfortable. But that wasn't about to stop him. 

As the air burned with heat flares, Caleb suddenly vanished in a burst of speed, shattering the ground beneath him.

The dragon moved the moment he did, and from all indications, Caleb could tell it wasn't ordinary.

'This dragon should have enough intelligence to understand speech,' Caleb pondered. 'Yet, it hasn't said a word. It's like something is stopping it.'

BOOM…!!!

Caleb's fist clashed against the dragon's much larger one, triggering a thunderous explosion that rippled through the domain, far stronger than the ones before.

Neither stepped back, appearing evenly matched. But Caleb knew he had the upper hand.

"Heh…" Caleb grinned. "Sorry, mate, but it's not enough!"
