A few hours later:
POV The Wyrm:
'It works! The enlightenment I learned from his highness was what I really needed.'
The wyrm almost exploded into maniacal laughter. The images of the poor human immortal defenselessly incapacitated by its powers were still vivid before its eyes as if it happened just a few seconds ago.
Venenumius observed the dragon from a distance any time it could. It watched its habits and how it acted. It saw how each dragon's action was filled with profound wisdom.
'I used just two insights, and they already boosted my power through the roof. I have beaten only a human, but the environment and the rules were stacked against me. I didn't even need to take it seriously.'
Wyrms were never supposed to engage their enemies from the ground and at such a short distance.
They were supposed to fully utilize their wings and magic to keep their distance and bombard their enemies with an unending onslaught of elemental attacks.
