At that same moment, on the Airship high in the sky, a certain teenager looked down at the dragon on the ground below.
"Wait…your highness?!"
Ignoring the words of the people calling out to him, he jumped out of the airship and plunged down towards the ground below.
A brown aura surged from his body and encased his entire right arm which he pulled back before speaking.
"Inner Beast: First Awakening."
{?!}
By the time his presence registered in Faldo's' dulled magical perception, it was too late.
"Rockfist."
**BOOOMMM!!!
His stone-cased fist crashed down on the dragon's head, sending tremors throughout his body and creating a localised shockwave effect that disrupted Faldo's mental faculties, disorienting the dragon.
Cracking stone met unyielding scales in a short battle that lasted no more than a second, sending a cascade of stone shards exploding from the point of impact, dispersing like shrapnel in all directions.
