Bartlett was finally about to join the battle he had stumbled upon and was quite excited about it.
First of all, he could finally prove himself as worthy of the title "Dragon Slayer." Although a zombie dragon was more akin to a zombie than a dragon in many ways, it was still a former Ancient Giant Dragon, so it wasn't far-fetched to categorize it as a dragon.
Secondly, this enormous undead creature, which was a dragon species, would likely provide Bartlett with a significant amount of soul energy from its Soul Fire.
"I'll go first," said Mage Cyril as he stretched a bit. "I've always been there to support my companions when they needed me. So they depend on me and admire me, especially Ophelia. You know what I mean." He winked at Bartlett and continued, "When you're ready, show your skills."
