Despite all the buffs, the damage caused by Makubwa was minuscule. Yet, his attack still caused the eldritch beholder to stop her offensive against Quetzalcoatl.
The dragon didn't waste the opening. He turned into a lightning bolt and rushed forward. He arrived before the beholder in an instant with his two hind legs ready to claw at the beholder's giant eyeball.
The beholder acted fast. She cast Magic Wall that blocked Quetzalcoatl's claws before they arrived. Quetzalcoatl's battle style relied more on spells, but that didn't mean he couldn't fight in melee. He was a true dragon, after all. Even untrained, his physical strength dwarfed most creatures of the same level.
