The dragon descended directly toward the section of forest Noah was desperately running through.
FLAP!!
Its enormous wings beat downward.
BOOOOM!!
A violent blast of wind crashed into the forest.
Trees bent beneath the pressure. Some were ripped straight from the earth, their massive roots tearing through the soaked ground before the trunks were hurled aside like twigs. Rainwater exploded from the leaves in clouds of mist, while broken branches and debris scattered everywhere.
Noah threw an arm over his face as he continued running. Fortunately, Akari hadn't spotted him yet. Or at least, that was what he hoped.
The enormous dragon landed among the trees, its massive claws crushing the earth beneath them.
CRUNCH!!
Several trees shattered beneath its weight.
Then Akari's dragon form raised its head.
Her jaws slowly opened.
Crackle! Crackle! CRACKLE—!!
