Meanwhile, on the ground, the fight was still raging on between the Silver Vanguards and the Red Dragon.
Kael was put out of commission and lay motionless beneath the cracked stone, his sword a few meters away, half-buried in debris.
"Kael… Kael, stay with me…" Liora's voice trembled as her hands glowed brighter, pressing against his chest.
"Healing Light—Radiant Surge!"
The light intensified, spreading across his body, trying to force life back into him. But the damage was too deep. His breathing was shallow, uneven.
Selene stepped in front of her, staff raised, her expression strained.
"…You won't get another hit on him," she muttered.
Above them, the Red Dragon roared again, its wings spreading wide as heat shimmered around its body. It stepped forward, each movement heavy enough to shake the ground.
Seraphine didn't take her eyes off it.
"…We change approach," she said. "We can't hold it here."
Selene nodded once.
"…Then we push it back."
