Supreme Dragon Emperor vs Paragons!

Silence.

A moment of complete stillness hung in the air.

No one dared to speak. Eyes were wide, mouths frozen in silent "O"s.

Drayken turned his dragon head toward them and sneered.

Another bolt of lightning coalesced within his core, ready to blast another foe into oblivion.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

And then, chaos erupted.

The humans attacked, and the dragons retaliated without hesitation.

A deafening boom followed, so thunderous it drowned out the world itself.

The battle ignited, with humans swarming the dragons by sheer numbers.

But quantity doesn't always overcome quality and that truth was becoming painfully clear.

Dragons possessed formidable defenses, especially their scales, which were harder than what their level alone would suggest. 

Even attacks that exceeded their own power often failed to pierce them.
