"Destroyed?"
The dragon delegate's voice was filled with disbelief. It wasn't a small claim.
The dragon race prided themselves on the durability of their scales. Grandmaster+ rank dragon scales were among the hardest materials on the planet. For anyone below a paragon rank, it was nearly impossible to destroy them.
Yet, what was he hearing now? Destroyed? It was hard to believe, especially when they had just dismissed the rumors of Atticus battling a paragon as exaggerations.
At this point, the other delegates leaned forward, listening with rapt attention. None of them were strangers to the strength of dragon scales, and their shock mirrored the dragon delegate's.
Atticus's expression remained calm, unchanging.
"Yes. During my fight in Sector 8, it unfortunately couldn't withstand the intensity," he said evenly.
The tension in the room shifted. Delegates exchanged glances, their expressions narrowing.
