Korig's triumph turned to dread as he witnessed the dragon shake off the impact and rise to its feet.
Korig's body ached, and he realized that despite his newfound powers and the divine crowbar, he was not yet developed enough to fully utilize the weapon's potential.
He needed more strength and control, and he needed it fast.
The dragon seemed more enraged than ever.
Its eyes burned with unrelenting ferocity as it fixed its gaze on Korig, who was still trying to recover from the brutal encounter.
Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, an unexpected savior appeared.
Out of nowhere, a sleek motorbike soared through the chaos and landed gracefully beside him.
The rider wore a tinted black helmet that concealed their identity, but Korig couldn't help but notice the woman's perfect figure and the air of mystery that surrounded her.
In a voice filled with strength and determination, she declared, "If you don't want to die," and motioned with her head toward the backseat of the bike.
Her words held a sense of urgency, and Korig understood that he had no time to waste.
Without hesitation, he made up his mind.
He had already faced death more than once today, and he wasn't ready to meet it again.
With a quick nod, he obeyed her command and climbed onto the backseat of the expensive looking motorbike.
The woman revved the engine, and Korig held on tightly as they sped away from the relentless dragon, leaving the chaos and destruction of the city behind.
The wind whistled in his ears as they raced through the desolate streets, putting distance between them and the looming threat.
Korig couldn't see the woman's face beneath the helmet, but he could sense her determination and skill as she expertly maneuvered through the treacherous terrain.
Questions swirled in his mind, but for now, survival was his top priority.
The tension in the air was palpable as the dragon gained speed and took to the skies, its massive wings beating with thunderous force.
It was a relentless pursuit, and Korig could feel the danger closing in.
The mysterious woman, her face hidden behind the tinted visor of her helmet, glanced into the rearview mirror and saw the dragon's approach.
Her voice, filled with urgency, reached Korig over the roar of the engine.
She instructed him to hold on tight, and without hesitation, she gunned the motorbike's throttle to the maximum.
Korig was jolted as the bike surged forward with an incredible burst of speed.
The acceleration was like nothing he had ever experienced, and he clutched the woman's waist instinctively to stay on.
As his hands found purchase on her slim waist, an unexpected sound escaped her lips, a soft moan.
It was brief, lasting only a second, but Korig couldn't help but notice it amidst the chaos of their escape.
His mind briefly registered the sensation of her slim figure beneath the leather jacket and pants that marked her as a seasoned rider.
However, there was no time for embarrassment or distraction.
They were in a life and death situation, being pursued by a fearsome dragon.
The bike tore through the desolate streets with incredible speed, the wind whipping past them.
Korig's heart raced, not just from the adrenaline of their escape but also from the proximity of their bodies as they clung to the bike together.
In the distance, the dragon continued its relentless chase, and the woman continued to maneuver expertly through the debris-strewn roads, desperately trying to put as much distance between them and the airborne predator as possible.
The situation was dire, and Korig knew that he had to focus on survival, leaving any questions or distractions for later.
As the woman skillfully guided them through the chaos, he tightened his grip on her waist and braced himself for the perilous journey ahead.
The chase through the ravaged city was an adrenaline fueled frenzy.
The woman expertly maneuvered the high powered bike through the debris strewn streets, Korig clinging to her waist as they weaved through the wreckage.
The relentless pursuit of the dragon filled the air with a sense of impending doom.
The dragon's massive wings beat the air, and it closed the distance between them with terrifying speed.
Its roars shook the crumbling buildings around them as it unleashed blasts of fire that scorched the streets, narrowly missing them with each deadly burst.
Korig's heart raced as he glanced over his shoulder, catching glimpses of the beast's monstrous form.
It was a relentless predator, and they were its prey.
The chase continued through the ruined city, with the woman skillfully navigating the treacherous terrain.
The buildings around them leaned precariously, and the once bustling streets were now a nightmarish landscape of destruction.
But then, as they raced forward, the road abruptly ended.
Before them stretched a massive, broken bridge that led to a chasm of churning sea below.
The only way to reach the other side was to somehow fly the bike across, a seemingly impossible feat.
In that moment of desperation, Korig couldn't help but voice his fear.
"What do we do?"
But the woman remained calm and resolute.
Her eyes scanned the scene, and she spotted an overturned car right at the end of the broken bridge.
It was their only chance.
Before Korig could protest or voice his doubts, she accelerated the bike, hurtling toward the overturned car.
Time seemed to slow as they approached the makeshift ramp, and Korig's scream mingled with the dragon's deafening roar.
With a burst of speed, they hit the car's wreckage, sending the bike soaring into the air.
Everything around them blurred as they bridged the impossible gap between the broken bridges.
The sea churned below, and for a heart stopping moment, it seemed like gravity would claim them.
The daring jump was almost a success, with the bike soaring over the treacherous gap between the broken bridges.
The sea churned below them, and for a heart stopping moment, it seemed like they would make it to the other side unscathed.
But..
