As Lyle watched, the dragon roared in defiance and charged at the man, its massive claws extended to strike. The man stood his ground, his expression calm as he raised his hand, a barrier of light forming around him.
The dragon slammed into the barrier, its claws scraping against the shimmering surface. It roared in frustration, trying to break through, but the barrier held strong. The man then raised his other hand, a ball of darkness forming in his palm.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the ball of darkness hurtling towards the dragon. It struck the dragon's chest, causing it to roar in pain.
The darkness spread across the dragon's chest, causing it to stop for an instant as what looked similar to chains appeared around its body.
