Huff! Huff! Huff!
Misty puffs of breaths clouded before Brandon's tattered frame, lying back down staring at the sky.
Beside him a massive crater, in which a golden cocoon pulsed!
His chest rose and fell in the crackling silence of nothing but flickering flames and his exhausted breaths…
Crawling back up to his feet he stared at the glowing cocoon, his expression placid but his tightened fists drawing blood as his fingernails pricked against his skin, relaying another emotion entirely.
"Fucking coward!" he cursed, directed to none other than the simmering cocoon.
Just now he clearly had the upper hand, he had thrashed the dragon properly, dealing a satisfying chain of critical hits.
Only for the beast to end up in this indestructible cocoon!
Brandon didn't know the real cause behind the cocoon formation but he assumed it to be the dragon's defensive skill.
