Once he transformed, fighting the Dragon Lord felt like a game.
He had patterns that were easier to read. Breath attacks, claw attacks, bites, and tail swipes were the majority of his movements. His back spikes and gust abilities didn't work as well if Damien didn't aim to get behind him, so they were made ineffective the moment Damien adapted to his strategies.
This was a fight between a rising genius and an Area Lord, but it looked more like the start of a dragon slayer's journey. The crowd was enamored by each and every moment, and though the Temple Masters knew that this event was fated to end in tragedy, even they couldn't help but be impressed by the show.
Damien was extremely fast. When he adopted a fighting style less like that of a Supreme, embracing his skill rather than his raw power, he was able to create something majestic on the battlefield.
