Damien leaped off Aquila with precision, landing squarely on the neck of the roaring Obsidian Drake. The beast thrashed violently, its glowing veins pulsing as it bellowed in rage.
Each twist and turn of its massive body seemed to shake the very air, but Damien held his ground, balancing expertly on the beast's scaled surface.
Keith saw the opening created by Damien's sudden assault and seized the opportunity. "Thank you! I'll make do with this chance!" Keith shouted as he closed in.
With his blade glowing brightly from the magic essence he infused into it, Keith lunged toward the drake's exposed side.
The Obsidian Drake, however, was no ordinary mana beast. It sensed the surge of power in Keith's attack and snapped its head toward him with blinding speed.
