King Elbas had studied the Night-blade Pterodactyls, but he couldn't predict Night's power.
The creature was a former divine magical beast that had kept many of its instincts after it escaped its prison. Moreover, its new body enhanced its innate abilities, and the Royal Metal inside it made Night even more threatening.
Noah's ambition affected Night's prowess too. The Pterodactyl felt its entire being brimming with power as Noah's law covered it.
Even if the effect of Noah's law lasted only an instant, Night felt as if it had become one step closer to its previous level.
One instant was all the Pterodactyl needed. It transformed as soon as it came out of the trail of dark matter created by Noah's slash, and it dived right through King Elbas' defenses.
The Royal immediately sensed the threat, and a second wave of flames came out of his figure. Yet, when he studied his body, King Elbas noticed that a small cut had appeared on his cheek.
