Chapter 216: Dragon Roar
In the heat of the intense battle, Lydia’s resolve hardened. With a determined look in her eyes, she announced firmly, "Let’s finish this." Her voice was steady, echoing her intent to end the confrontation.
She raised her hand, her movements precise and commanding, as she summoned a massive earth golem. The ground around them trembled and shook as the golem, towering and formidable, rose from the earth.
Lydia focused her gaze on Drakina, her stoic face betraying a hint of anticipation. "This ends now," she muttered under her breath, her eyes never leaving her target. She directed the golem with a series of calculated gestures, maneuvering the giant construct towards Drakina.
She intended to use the golem’s overwhelming size and strength to overpower Drakina, who appeared injured and vulnerable finally. Lydia’s expression was one of intense concentration, her every move calculated to bring about the end of the battle.
However, Drakina, undeterred by her injuries, demonstrated a remarkable display of agility that took everyone by surprise. In an almost blinding flash of movement, she circumvented the massive earth golem and appeared behind it, leaving the Ascendants momentarily stunned.
Lydia, typically stoic and composed, couldn’t hide her shock. "What the—" she exclaimed, her eyes widening as she quickly tried to comprehend Drakina’s unexpected maneuver. This rare break from her usually unflappable demeanor showed the level of surprise Drakina’s actions had caused. Frantically, Lydia attempted to maneuver the golem to turn around and face the new threat, her hands moving rapidly in an effort to control the massive construct.
Erik, witnessing the sudden shift in the battlefield dynamics, was quick to react. "Don’t forget, we’re still in the fight!" he declared, a determined look on his face. Clutching his thunder spear tightly, its energy crackling and sparking, he charged forward. His movements were a combination of speed and precision, much like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky, as he aimed to intercept Drakina.
Alfred, always eager to assert his presence, swung his flame sword with a flourish. The blade glowed intensely, casting flickering light across his features. "I’m not going to be left out of this," he announced, a confident smirk crossing his face. "We won’t let you steal the spotlight, Lydia." His voice carried his usual blend of arrogance and bravado as he joined Erik in moving to counter Drakina’s swift attack.
The scene was a dynamic display of power and agility. Lydia, still trying to regain control of the situation, directed the golem with rapid, urgent gestures. Erik, with his spear at the ready, moved with lightning speed, while Alfred’s flame sword added a fiery intensity to the fray.
Drakina, in response to their efforts, shifted her demeanor. The usual stoicism on her face gave way to a more intense, focused expression. She looked at her opponents with a new determination, her eyes sharp and piercing.
"Do you really think you can block my attack?" Drakina challenged, her voice resonating with a firmness that echoed her newfound intensity. Her gaze swept across the Ascendants, measuring their reactions.
Then, with a tone that conveyed both a warning and a declaration, she announced, "I am now unleashing my full power." The air around her seemed to vibrate with the rising energy. She raised her arms, and her Mythical Resonance transformed, morphing into a pair of dragon head gauntlets. The gauntlets were intricately designed, fearsome in appearance, and added an aura of raw power to her already formidable presence.
"Take this, Dragon Roar!" Drakina shouted. Her whole body moved with the attack, her stance widening for stability. She thrust her gauntleted arms forward, channelling her energy into the dragon-shaped gauntlets.
From the open jaws of the dragon heads, a massive shockwave erupted, taking the shape of a roaring dragon. The shockwave, brimming with power, surged toward the Ascendants with a force that seemed to shake the very ground.
In response to Drakina’s overwhelming Dragon Roar attack, Lydia, Alfred, and Erik prepared to mount a formidable defense. Lydia, her focus sharp, immediately sprang into action. She pressed her hands to the ground, summoning a massive wall of earth.
"This should hold it!" she declared, her voice firm, her eyes intensely focused on the task. Her movements were fluid and confident as she guided the towering wall to rise, providing a solid barrier between them and the incoming shockwave.
Alfred, not one to be overshadowed, activated his "Flame God Body." His entire form was enveloped in a blazing armor of flames, the heat radiating off him in waves. "Let’s see how she likes this!" he exclaimed, his face contorted with determination and a hint of his usual arrogance. The flames around him grew more intense, his body becoming a fiery beacon of power.
Erik, equally determined to demonstrate his strength, invoked his "Thunder God Body." His body became sheathed in a layer of crackling thunder, the energy pulsating around him. "Time to amp this up!" he shouted, his expression one of intense concentration. The thunder around him roared, matching the ferocity of Alfred’s flames.
The three Ascendants, now at the peak of their powers, faced the dragon-shaped shockwave head-on. Lydia’s wall of earth stood tall, Alfred’s flame armor glowed brightly, and Erik’s thunder armor crackled with raw energy.
As Drakina’s Dragon Roar collided with their combined defenses, the clash of elemental powers was spectacular. Flames, thunder, and earth met the dragon-shaped shockwave in an explosive display of strength and resilience. The impact reverberated through the battlefield, sending ripples of energy in every direction.
Lydia, anchoring the defense with her earth wall, gritted her teeth as she felt the force of the shockwave. Alfred, in his flame armor, pushed forward against the immense pressure, his face set in a fierce scowl. Erik, surrounded by his thunder armor, maneuvered to reinforce any weaknesses in their defense, his body moving with agility and precision.
Together, they withstood Drakina’s powerful attack, showcasing the might and unity of the Tier 4 Ascendants. The battle, far from over, continued to rage on, with each combatant pushing their limits to emerge victorious.
