The Architect folded the space between them but Owen did not try to navigate the fold. He flew through it.
His wings which were massive now, scaled and terrible, with talons at the leading edges that looked like curved swords, beat once and threw him forward at a velocity the fold could not process fast enough to intercept.
Vasek attempted to fold the air in front of him. The dragon met the fold head-on and shattered it with his shoulder, a maneuver that should have dislocated the joint and instead drove him through the spatial rupture like it was water.
He crashed into the Architect at full collision speed.
Vasek went down. Not gracefully. A Tier 3 humanoid in a pocket dimension against a full adult dragon with Tier 5 regeneration and scaling. The result was not competitive. Owen's claws raked across the Architect's folded torso and came away trailing ichor that was grey, not red, something that was not quite blood.
