The Dark Chimera stood still as Initium Bahamut appeared before it, its wings flapping and its body moving up and down. However, it made no move to attack.
Initium Bahamut also stared at the Dark Chimera's face, its red eyes clearly observing its facial structure.
The Dark Chimera flapped its wings violently, the air churning with brutal wind pressure. It seemed as if it was about to attack, with the first sign being a lion's roar at its enemy.
"RROOOOAAARRR—!!"
Its dragon head was about to do something, its mouth opening, glowing red like fire. As it prepared, it moved up and then down to spit out a fiery red flame from its mouth.
However—
Initium Bahamut moved first.
Without a roar, without any warning, its gigantic body shot forward, its black-and-red wings flapping only once.
BOOM!
The first collision occurred between the two creatures. The Dark Chimera's dragon head was about to unleash another torrent of flames, but its neck was suddenly gripped tightly by Initium Bahamut's hand, which had arrived before it.
The flames that should have been spewed from the dragon head's mouth were forcibly extinguished by a force that surpassed its own.
Initium Bahamut continued to grip the Dark Chimera's dragon head tightly, to the point where it shot towards the towering magic wall barrier, carrying Dark Chimera.
The Dark Chimera refused to let this happen and struggled against its enemy. The Dark Chimera's claws slammed into Bahamut's chest—but Bahamut remained unmoved. Bahamut simply continued to advance, keeping a firm grip on its neck until it nearly reached its destination.
At that moment, Initium Bahamut roared loudly. It then slammed the dragon head into the magic wall, causing the magical energy within it to explode and spray in all directions.
BOOM!
Even on the ground, Infori felt a powerful vibration and gust of wind. (So strong...?!)
"...?!"
His body couldn't even withstand it, and his legs grew weaker and he was sent flying backward, crashing into a large rock behind him, but fortunately, he wasn't injured.
"Ack!"
Intri tried to assess the situation, looking up slightly. He saw Initium Bahamut holding Dark Chimera's dragon head against a magical wall that was shooting energy in all directions.
(Initium Bahamut.....)
Bahamut let go of Chimera's neck, but before his enemy could move again, Bahamut switched to his lion head and gripped it tightly. And without warning, he then shot down carrying Dark Chimera and slammed Chimera's body into the ground.
BOOM!!
The impact shattered the rocky ground beneath him, creating a tremendous earthquake. Dark red energy erupted from the ground, spraying in all directions.
The sky of this dimension cracked, then shattered into tiny particles that dissipated into the air, revealing a dark night sky filled with countless tiny particles.
The ground itself was now also cracking, the ground Infori stood on splitting into several floating landmasses. It was as if the laws of gravity no longer applied to these lands.
Fortunately, Infori was on one of the floating landmasses, gazing around with an indescribable feeling. His mind seemed to wonder, what exactly was he seeing? The impact from the creature he had summoned had inadvertently shifted the entire dimension.
Meanwhile, Initium Bahamut flapped its wings once, and its gigantic body soared into the dark sky once more.
WOOSH!
After that, he stopped and hovered, gazing down—at the Dark Chimera, which was also flying, staring intently at Bahamut. Red flames blazed in the mouth of its dragon head, ready to be unleashed.
Infori watched with his own eyes, silently watching the fierce battle between two creatures he didn't know.
"..."
He looked up and saw Bahamut flying. The red parts of its wings glowed, emitting red energy that spread throughout its wings. Every red part of its body slowly glowed, its red eyes glowing, and the rhombus shape in the center of its eyeballs was also filled with dark energy.
Bahamut gathered dark red energy in its mouth. Small particles in the dark sky gathered towards Bahamut's mouth, quickly forming a coiling energy that could be unleashed at any moment.
However, the Dark Chimera wasted no time. It immediately unleashed a blazing torrent of flames at Bahamut, but Bahamut didn't remain silent. He immediately released the energy from his mouth downward, creating a jet of flames even redder than the Dark Chimera's.
The two bursts of fire collided in midair.
BOOM!!!
A cloud of smoke filled the air, accompanied by a gust of wind that spread in all directions.
"Gah—...!?"
Infori was hit by the strong gust of wind, but his body was still supported by the large rock behind him, which shook but wouldn't crush him unless it hit him directly. This floating landmass could crumble to ash.
The Dark Chimera roared, the two horns on its goat head releasing a burst of yellow lightning that could directly hit Bahamut. However, just before that happened, Bahamut sensed danger, and the lightning burst penetrated the smoke and was about to strike him.
With all his speed, Bahamut flapped his wings violently, propelling his body upward. But the lightning didn't stop there; it followed Bahamut's direction.
Bahamut then took flight, darting forward to avoid it.
From Infori's perspective, Bahamut continued to fly to avoid the lightning aimed at him. Unfortunately, his body was struck by the lightning. Lightning bolts enveloped his sharp scales until—
BOOM!
A cloud of smoke surrounded the spot where Bahamut had been hit.
"…?!" Infori was momentarily shocked.
