Ves underestimated the Azure Tornado Dragon.
Its demonstrated powers suggested that it was good in creating wide area destruction, but lacked the ability to channel its elemental powers in more focused attacks.
This gave Ves the impression that the Azure Tornado Dragon simply hadn't developed any effective solutions in defeating singular powerful foes.
After all, the vast majority of its challenges could only keep up with the Azure Tornado Dragon in the air or underwater, but not both!
According to the records of the Hunting Association, the Azure Tornado Dragon had spent much of its life as a rapidly growing mutated beast by cleverly making use of its advantages.
The creature was highly opportunistic and avoided direct confrontation when it could easily exploit the weaknesses of its adversaries.
