The stalactites on the cavern ceiling were all shattered, with dark red fire element magic crystal ore fragments embedded in the sharp jagged edges. Lava flowing from the crystal surfaces snaked down the rock walls, pooling into shallow magma gullies on the ground.
Emi's crystal armor fragments were embedded all over the cavern walls, each piece glowing with a searing red light, the surrounding rocks softened by the intense heat.
The fire magic crystal ore was covered in claw marks and impact craters, most of it already cracked. The overflowing fire element energy sizzled in the air, making the temperature in the cave terrifyingly high as waves of heat rolled in.
On the other side, however, was a different scene.
The ice spikes frozen onto the walls by astral power had not yet melted, creating a sharp contrast between cold and heat with the lava on the rock walls. Thin frost flowers condensed on the edges of the ice spikes, yet droplets of water continuously fell under the roasting fire elements, rising as fine white steam upon hitting the ground.
At the edge of the deep pit smashed by the dragon tail hammer, fragments of Starlight Silver crystals and fire magic crystals were mixed together, with fine sparks occasionally bursting forth as the crystal lights collided.
The main vein deep within the mine was torn apart by the power of the two behemoths. On the exposed fire magic crystal ore vein, flame patterns and star-track-like cracks intersected. Magma gurgled from the broken vein, and the pungent smell of sulfur made Jona Velli snort, but it made Friel feel comfortable.
Looking back at the two culprits of all this, both were panting heavily, staring warily at each other.
Emi's dragon tail, covered in crimson crystal armor, had already been severed, the wound filled with ice crystals and emitting a faint chill.
As for the crystalline scale armor he took such pride in, it was shattered and cracked, covered in frost and ice crystals without exception.
On the other side, Mofana's situation was even worse; her entire right claw was missing, the wound covered in frost—appearing to be a hasty method of stopping the bleeding.
One of the dragon horns on Mofana's head was also broken, her dragon tail snapped from the base. The entire dragon looked wretched, like a candle flickering in the wind.
"Emi, there's no point in talking anymore. I already gave you a chance."
A trace of fear and panic appeared in the Molten Fire Crystal-Armored Lizard's eyes, followed by immense annoyance.
"Fuck! A total fucking lunatic."
Having said that, Emi prepared to leave first. After all, he felt that throwing away his life for nothing was too much of a loss.
But how could Mofana let him have his way? She immediately opened her dragon mouth, her cold Starlight Silver Breath ready to fire.
Emi hurriedly turned back and roared with great restraint.
"I advise you not to push things too far. If that breath comes my way, I will definitely bite your neck off!"
Hearing this, Mofana hesitated for a moment, but what remained was determination.
This guy was always harassing her repeatedly, teasing her with boring, tasteless jokes and vulgar talk. Combined with what happened this time, she was completely fed up.
You should know, women have a tough side too!
"Enough is enough! There's no more need to endure!!"
Just as a new round of battle was about to begin, the sound of leisurely laughter and conversation reached the two dragons' ears.
