The dragon swiftly rose from beneath the lava as if nothing had happened. Not a single burn or scorch mark was on its massive body, thanks to its thick scales and natural immunity to heat.
Its enormous wings flapped as it hovered in mid-air, its fierce eyes locked on Castiel.
'What kind of barrier has he got there? In all my years of existence, I've never encountered someone like him. Is he even human?'
As the dragon observed Castiel, that was the only thought running through his mind. He could hardly believe the strength of Castiel. For someone like him, this was extraordinary. This dragon was known for his formidable strength.
To have his attack brushed aside so easily felt like a tremendous insult to his very existence.
Castiel, on the other hand, remained seated by the lake, calmly watching the two as if nothing had happened.
