Xavier stood firm as he called out, "Chase!"
"I'm handling this one. You and the others should focus on the bone dragon. Don't let it tear the rest of the team apart!"
Chase, still recovering from the shock, snapped his attention to Xavier, his eyes widening at the surge of mana surrounding him.
"Sir, are you sure? That thing... it's not like anything we've faced before!"
"I'm sure." Xavier's tone was intense, his gaze locked onto Alexei. "You guys can hack it, leave this bastard to me. Trust me! Everything will be fine."
Chase clenched his fists tightly as he glanced at the massive bone dragon, its blue flame wings casting a ghostly light over the battlefield.
"You heard him!" Chase shouted, rallying the others. "We take down the dragon!"
A female healer, trembling but focused, began casting healing on the wounded. "Be careful, sir!" she called out.
