The wind howled as the Black Oil Dragon Ross gently flapped its wings, effortlessly passing through one white cloud after another in the sky.
Atop the dragon, Russell gazed at the palm of his left hand.
The M-shaped mark still occupied the largest area, with the Thorns Mark, Flat Louse Mark, and Gecko Mark being mere the size of sesame seeds. However, the Sword Butterfly Mark had grown from the size of a sesame seed to that of a soybean and was orbiting the M-shaped mark.
Above his forehead, the Mark of the Thunder Lord sparkled with tiny electric arcs, exceptionally striking.
Soon thereafter,
the grand Red Castle came into view. Russell gently patted Ross's neck, prompting him to descend from the clouds and dive towards the Red Castle.
Above the Red Castle, several bipedal flying dragons circled. Seeing Ross approaching, they came forward and roared.
"Roar!" Ross roared back.
