As the explosions erupted and the world around him turned chaotic, Lucius was rendered deaf to the tumultuous sounds.
Frozen in a mixture of awe and terror, he watched as the barrier, already marked with visible cracks, shattered slightly, creating a hole about the size of a clenched fist.
Through the breach in the dome-like barrier, the dragon's majestic form came into view, its imposing presence now fully revealed.
Suddenly, the system provided him with a prompt regarding 'that' – [Dragon ???? Level ???]. The system's uncertainty was evident, unable to offer him any more information about this mysterious being.
It seemed confused and didn't know how to give Lucius more detail; this being was not allowed here.
Another explosion reverberated through the air as the clashing energies collided, causing the already shaken barrier to tremble once more.
