ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR! A loud crackling roar filled the sky, shaking the city's walls. The ground started rumbling as the mountains seemed to dance.
A dark misty haze covered Arad's body as he shifted back into his draconic form, roaring as his void consumed the ground around him.
***
On a faraway land.
"Move! You lazy bitch!" A slave swung his cane, hitting a woman in the face, but she didn't even flinch and stared at the sky.
The slave stepped back, his face red with rage.
The woman lifted her palm with a passive face. ^Can't you just eat it? That's a tiny celestial body.^
***
CRACK! The stars re-aligned behind the falling meteor into a massive eye, and a titanic dark claw formed, approaching the celestial body.
It then stopped, feeling Arad flying toward the meteor. ^That's right, this is your territory. I shouldn't interfere.^ The claw disappeared as the eye closed.
FLAP! FLAP! Arad flapped his wings faster than the eye could see. He flew toward the meteor roaring. SWOSH! Merlin gasped, seeing him surpass her and hit the meteor head-first.
"ARAD!" Merlin shouted. She doesn't have enough power to pull him out. But soon, she realized something. Arad started clawing at the falling meteor, with his body covered in a black void.
With each claw strike, Arad directly consumed a chunk of the meteor in his stomach, digging his way into the meteor's core. Necrotic magic kept eating his flesh over the void, but he didn't stop regenerating from the blood he had stored.
Merlin could feel the meteor getting lighter and lighter. Arad was eating it whole from the inside out. This spell had a single weakness, which was a strong point. The stone wasn't made of magic. It was only a massive boulder.
The spell worked by gathering stone in the upper atmosphere, and then dropping it. That means the stone would fall even if the spell was interrupted. But, it meant Arad could still ravage it like regular stone, ignoring the necrotic magic.
The more Arad ate of the meteor, the lighter and easier it became for Merlin to lift. And the more she lifted it, the more time she bought for Arad to eat it.
Inside the meteor core, Arad opened his jaw. ROAR! He roared, unleashing a void breath.
BAM! Merlin could see a dark beam punching a hole in the meteor, followed by another one, and another.
The air pressure quickly got inside the meteor from the holes, forcing it to rip apart and explode into multiple small pieces.
The people in the city saw the burning fragments fall down, and they screamed. Running into their houses to avoid being hit.
Merlin looked down she already felt dizzy and didn't have enough magic or stamina to create a barrier.
ZON! The small fragments stopped mid-air, staying suspended as everyone looked out of their windows. "It's Nina's dragon!" One of the nobles shouted, and his word spread across the city.
Arad flew above the city, [Gravity magic] He used it to make himself the center of gravity, and the falling shards flew back up to orbit him.
Arad's eyes fixated on a single thing, Xaviin flying away in the distance. FLAP! He flapped his wings, flying forward with the meteor fragments spinning around his body. The moment flew past any large horde of undead, he dropped some on them, blasting them to pieces.
Xaviin looked back, seeing Arad flying toward him with what remained from the meteor.
"For fuck sake. Those dragons never cease to cause trouble, to think he was able to weaken the meteor's structure enough for it to self-destruct." Xaviin pointed his staff back, [A thousand bone spear] Thousands of large spiky bones emerged from the ground.
Arad released the meteors orbiting him, blasting the bones to dust as he flew right through.
"It doesn't matter, you won't catch me with that speed." Xaviin smiled, looking forward as he flew away.
[Void Step] ZON! Arad appeared in front of Xaviin, opening his claws. CRACK! He grabbed him by the shoulders, roaring.
"You bastard! You could teleport all the way here?" Xaviin growled, swinging his open palm up. Thud! Using his fingers, he pierced Arad's lower jaw.
"It still doesn't matter, idiot. You don't have the strength or durability to face me at my best. It's over. I will scoop your brain out." Xaviin growled.
[Void Step] ZON! [Void Step] ZON! [Void Step] ZON! Arad teleported with Xaviin back to the city walls, dropping to the ground.
Xaviin looked around, stunned. CRACK! He pulled his hand from Arad's jaw and kicked him away, "This bastard, he dragged me all the way here?" He was a bit confused.
Arad lay on the ground, motionless. With exhaustion and blood loss, he can't even regenerate. It was over for him, he isn't getting back up and Xaviin knew it.
CRACK! As the lich tried to run away, he heard something falling behind him. He turned around, to see a brown-haired woman staring at him, with white mist coming out of her mouth as she growled.
"You!" Xaviin gasped, his voice cracking.
Thud! Nina grabbed Xaviin by the sky with her bare hand. His necrotic magic couldn't eat her flesh.
[The Bone Zone] [Skull Eater] Xaviin cast two spells, but the bones spikes cracked the moment they touched Nina, and the skull's teeth shattered.
GRWAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Nina screamed her lungs out, swinging Xaviin from left to right, smacking him on the ground.
^I know it. Even if the meteor dropped, you would be the only survivor. A barbarian with extreme durability, regeneration, and absurd strength.^ BAM! Nina threw Xaviin's bones toward the front gate, where a woman walked out, with bandages all over her body.
Lydia took a deep breath, "In the name of the great earth mother, her merciful son, and his graceful foster mother of the crimson sun." BOOM! Her sword exploded with holy magic.
CRACK! She stomped the ground, swinging her sword with zeal, [Divine cleaver] A brilliant flash of holy light emerged as she hit Xaviin.
CLAP!
