I turned north and started to shoot in that direction as the dragon chased me. The speed it could move was absolutely amazing, and its aura cooked anything that got anywhere close to it.
On top of the oven aura, it had some type of reactive skin that created a ridiculously strong explosion. It was activated when something like the burning body of a Carnica would impact it.
The body would be blown to bits, but there would be no marks on the dark red dragon after. That alone made the creature nearly impossible to fight, but that wasn't even mentioning the deadliest part of the massive creature.
The ability to spit out ten-foot fireballs that could be detonated at will had already almost knocked me out of the air. I had tried to just barely avoid it, but the ball of fire ruptured beside me, sending me spinning through the air.
