BOOM.
The impact ripped through the air like a physical blow, driving a shock through the battlefield that sent stone groaning and pressure rippling outward in visible waves.
CRASH.
The translucent black dragon reeled in midair as it was sent flying in a scene reminiscent of a person getting struck by a truck.
The layered abyssal and source energy field surrounding its body—those sheets of corrupted authority that had been amplifying abyssal domains across the field—buckled outright.
Distortions rippled outward and had a noticeable impact on the battle situation. On the eastern front, the liquefying sludge composing the Abyssal Demigod's domain stuttered, its forward surge losing cohesion as the borrowed reinforcement abruptly weakened.
Even to the north, the Wrath and gravity abyssals working together faltered. Their domains flickered violently at the edges.
The human 9-star tamer's eyes widened. Not only from surprise but also trepidation at this unfamiliar golden dragon.
