Finally Outside Again

Dust kicked up from stone shattering, mixing in with the vapours the magma was constantly unleashing inside this room, and the air became opaque.

With no more visual contact on the dragon, everyone became nervous. Had their attacks struck true?

Was the dragon dead, or was it biding its time, ready to strike?

Kary scanned the room with her mana senses, trying to find an echo of the dragon's mana from earlier. She hoped she wouldn't find anything, of course, but preferred to keep the optimism for once they were out of there.

She wasn't alone in this endeavour, as Alex, regardless of his ragged breath and tired body, stepped forward, scanning the room with his eyes and mana senses, hoping they had downed the beast.

It took him the entirety of ten seconds to find the dragon's slumped corpse, but something was strange about it.
