Round 2

The swirling mana bolt shot through the fog, a blazing sphere of energy that crackled with raw power. It tore through the air, illuminating the Bone Pit as it hurtled toward the dragon. 

Kaden's fingers tingled from the energy he had just released, his entire body trembling from the sheer force of the spell. This was his chance. He had only one shot and he had given it his all.

The dragon's golden eyes widened as the bolt appeared before it, its body already in mid-lunge toward the skeletal tiger. It tried to twist away, but the momentum was too great, its wings unfurling too late to redirect its path. 

The mana bolt slammed into its chest, right where the shadows had cracked its scales, and exploded in a burst of blinding light.

The impact was deafening. A shockwave rippled through the Bone Pit, shaking the very ground as the dragon was thrown back, its massive body colliding with the rock wall.
