The black giant dragon dove down from the sky, heading straight for the stone castle below!
The tall and sturdy walls outside the stone castle had helped the Arias family fend off strong enemies numerous times, but this time, facing an opponent that could descend from the sky, it was utterly useless.
The black dragon easily leapt over the city walls.
Although the soldiers responsible for the night watch had spotted it as soon as it approached, and had dutifully rung the warning bell,
since it was already deep into the night, most of the castle's inhabitants had gone to sleep; even if they woke from their dreams at this moment, it would be difficult to take refuge in the cellars immediately.
Especially the elderly and the children, who had difficulty moving quickly.
As the black dragon breathed out its first breath of dragon fire, the entire first floor of the stone castle instantly turned into a sea of flames, with tables, chairs, and the flags hung on the walls all burning.
