[Infinite Illusions]

An eruption of qi surged about Ryu. He felt like his blood was lit on fire, that his bones coursed with strength and his muscles bulged with power. 

He pressed down on Sarriel with both his bone blades, his strength reaching a fundamental level of superiority even she couldn't match. 

Sarriel took a heavy step backward, her planted leg shattering the ground and causing an eruption of dirt. That single step alone shook the earth and threatened to have the power to split a continent in two. No matter how talented Sarriel was, no matter how powerful a Fey's body was purported to be… What good was it in the face of a Dragon?

BANG!

Sarriel was pressed down to the point her back almost touched the now snowless ground. Her veil fluttered about and her violet eyes met Ryu's silver pair with a cold indifference.
