BOOM!
The behemoth plummeted from the sky, crashing onto the beach with no buffer.
The fine, soft sand obviously couldn't provide much of a cushion, and Carlos let out a pained wail.
The violent impact jostled the wounds on its back, causing blood to gush out even faster.
It wanted to struggle up and flee, but its limbs could barely support it.
WHOOSH!
A figure landed not far away—it was Ronin.
As Carlos hit the ground, Ronin had forcefully pushed off the Giant Dragon's back to separate them, simultaneously using Wind's Touch to suspend himself in the air.
When he was only about ten meters from the ground, he adjusted his posture and landed steadily on the sand.
"Whew..."
Ronin let out a long breath. Standing on solid ground again, he felt a surprising sense of peace.
He slowly walked toward the Giant Dragon. The beast sensed his approach and let out a low roar, as if warning Ronin not to get any closer.
