The Divine Lightning had kept falling while he was trapped in the vision. Now his body was falling apart beneath it.
Caelus clenched his teeth as another bolt gathered above him. His left arm barely moved, and the lightning already inside his chest was tearing through him.
There was no time to think about the paradise or the voice.
Caelus immediately released his full dragon transformation.
Blue scales spread across his torn skin as his arms became claws. Then his wings unfolded beneath the storm while his growing body pushed through the lightning.
BOOM!
The bolt struck his back and drove him downward, but he caught himself with a powerful wingbeat. Immediately after that, he rose into the attack and tore through it.
The lightning gathered into a giant spear and shot toward his throat. Caelus turned past the point before catching the shaft between his claws.
CRACK!
