The dormant psychic energy inside Administrator was being continuously consumed and expended by the artifact on her hand, within ten seconds, her vast energy reserves had already decreased by 1% at the very least, and it looked like her energy regeneration could not keep up with her terrifying expenditure, because of this it would only be a matter of time before her energy reserve would be completely exhausted by the insatiable artifact in her hand.
But even then, one should not ignore the presence of the overall effects and benefits that the second stage artifact had brought to her, even Administrator who usually wore a stoic cold and indifferent expression on her face could not prevent her red lips from twitching due to the utter satisfaction that she felt from the marginal increase in her strength.
Her Shamanistic Space has been upgraded to a whole new level which could heavily affect and influence the mental frequencies of the enemies while making the allies only feel unprecedented comfort and clarity coursing throughout their heads while they're inside the coverage of the space.
The artifact also brought a marginal increase in the overall effects of her various skills in her skill arsenal, it gave her skills tremendous upgrades to make them more powerful while also reducing the necessary requirements to use the various skills that she has.
The Pyramidal Eye of the Ancients was silently floating above her raised left hand, it shone brightly as she continuously fueled it with her psychic energy while she was thinking of the particular skill which she intended for it to execute.
The flat pyramidal artifact slowly spun in the air, its rotation speed was also increasing as time passed by until it eventually got too fast that it became blurry for the eyes to see.
It was like how a normal person would not be able to see the fast-spinning blades of a maximum speed automatic electric fan.
The artifact rapidly spun in the air which gave rise to an intense mini tornado that sucked all of the inactive psychic energy for at least half a mile around her.
The artifact right now was truly too bizarre when it's executing her intended skill as it was completely different than when Irene used it where it simply opened its eye and fired a beam of white light to attack its targets.
Meanwhile, the Red Dragon had also finished its energy accumulation as soon as she finished breaking the second restriction of the artifact, its aura was terrifyingly hot and dangerous that it even made the fine desert sands below to melt and turn into a pool of hot liquid.
The dragon roared and a horrible bright red light suddenly materialized inside its huge draconic mouth, that light certainly looked dangerous as one could even hear that it produced a deafeningly low pitch sound like a channeling sonic beam preparing to fire itself off.
The energy that the Red Dragon had accumulated earlier was being rapidly transferred to its wide-open mouth which further accelerated the growth of the terrifying thing inside its mouth.
Leo and Administrator saw this and each of them wore an ugly expression as they watched the red dragon brew an extremely horrible racial skill inside its mouth.
They indeed underestimated the mighty prowess of this dragon due to its maddened state, they had no idea that it had a relatively high talent when it comes to learning things such as their racial skills.
The red light which was brewing inside its huge draconic mouth was called [ Dragon's Beam ] that was known to be the upgraded version of the [ Dragon's Breath ] racial skill.
In Dystopia's Myriad Races, there are two things that each race could exclusively use for themselves.
The first one is their racial talents which could be considered as the natural endowment from their respective progenitors themselves, it is like an extension of their own limbs which they could use with just a single thought.
The second one leans more on the non-exclusive-ish side though in which they could only be used with certain types of conditions, an example for this is the [ Wing Attack ] racial skill which had a strict requirement that only those who possess a pair of wings would have the chance to use it.
It means that aside from those winged races who satisfied the said requirements, the other races wouldn't have the qualification to use the skill as they did not even possess a pair of wings that the racial skill required.
The racial skills of a race are completely different from their racial talents where the latter is considered as an inherent quality which they exclusively possess while the former is different in which they could only be learned through the hard work and effort of an individual.
Right now, they were clueless about how much effort or hard work did this Red Dragon had expended just to learn this racial skill, but that's not the important thing to think because as of this moment they were fairly sure that that said skill would be aimed towards them the moment it finished charging it up.
Thus, they unhesitatingly canceled what they were doing earlier to set up various defensive barriers so that they could protect themselves from its eventual arrival, they knew that they wouldn't be able to outrun nor dodge the known terrifying sonic speed of the [ Dragon's Beam ].
There is a book in Dystopia called < Compendium of Mystical Races > that solely gathered and contains the information and characteristics of each creature that descended from the Mystical Plane down to their Mortal Plane, and the book record also included the list of the famous possible racial skills that a 'visiting' dragon might have.
The [ Dragon's Beam ] was included in this long list and it clearly stated that after a dragon's beam charged up to a sufficient amount of energy, it would have the ability to instantly reach anything after they've been released out of the mouths of the dragons.
This is also one of the reasons why they didn't bother to futilely run away or hide from it as they knew that it would be useless unless one of them have the ability to take the other with them to disappear and teleport hundreds of miles away instantly.

Administrator with her exquisite clean white dress and gently swaying snow-white hair looked extremely beautiful and mystifying while she and Leo were making different sets of hand seals simultaneously, with each finished set came the establishment of varying colored barrier that perfectly enveloped both of them.
The multi-colored barriers were resplendently stacked atop each other and they looked dazzling to the eyes yet one wouldn't be able to think that they were only beautiful to the eyes because one could still see that these barriers were all very well made as its surface looked tough and durable both on the inside and the outside.
Then suddenly the low pitch sound that was treated as background noise ceased its sound and this made the both of them momentarily stop in their tracks as they looked up towards where the Red Dragon was charging its beam.
Administrator's pale snow-white eyes and Leo's glittering ocean blue eyes rapidly constricted as they simultaneously thought to themselves with a tight frown on their faces.
'It's coming!'
'It's here!'
The hot wind of the desert silently blew which produced a slight whooshing sound in the air, the white noise did not linger any longer as it was disrupted by a loud rumbling noise that suddenly came out of nowhere.
After the rumble followed a blinding bright red light that encompassed tens of miles like a sudden terrifying explosion had occurred in the area.
It was then followed by a horrifying aura that pressured the two of them and made them feel like they were stripped off of their ability to breathe clean air.
They did not falter and let themselves fall against this terrible feeling as they went on to resume making their own sets of different hand seals to create barriers after barriers that could protect them.
The red beam's traveling speed was extremely fast as it had managed to instantly touch the surface of the first layer of their defensive barriers, the barrier did not even manage to last a second when it met a terrible end as it was instantly torn apart after the barrier and the beam's initial contact.
The penetrative firepower of the [ Dragon's Beam ] was extremely terrifying, it should be stated here that the barrier that it destroyed earlier was a bonafide 5-star barrier, but even with that high of a rank it still did not manage to last a whole second from just a single attack of the Red Dragon's [ Dragon's Beam ].
The second layer of their defensive barriers also met the same tragic end as the first one as it also broke like a piece of fragile glass after the red beam touched its surface, it was also a 5-star defensive barrier created by Administrator herself who had her skills buffed with the artifact.
The red beam continued to penetrate and break the different types of barrier that they established, be it the third, fourth, or fifth, they all, without exception, broke or melted under its horrifying firepower like a hot knife slicing through butter.
The beam had even managed to penetrate all the way up to their tenth established barrier and this shows for itself that it was truly a terrifyingly strong skill that could easily instill fear and panic among the Myriad Races living in the Lower Plane.
The Dragon Race of the Mystical Plane truly deserved their high praise and domineering prestige as one of the strongest and most revered sacred races with just this single racial skill of theirs.
