Weight Of Responsibility

"All of this surprises me…"

Adonis was kneeling on the ground when he heard those words from the being above.

It was the Dragon General, Kar'en.

Her single flapped above as a distorted spatial barrier surrounded her. She looked down on everyone with her crimson eyes, and her red hair danced with the wind.

Despite the powerful explosion that just erupted, there didn't seem to be a scratch on her. Perhaps there was a few moments ago, but accounting for her defenses, and the superior regenerative capabilities of a Dragon General, her unharmed appearance wasn't too much of a surprise.

Even Adonis, after hearing her voice, didn't seem too shocked.

He didn't have the mental capacity to wonder about the million ways she could have escaped the blast or recuperated from its effects.

He was simply on his knees, completely downtrodden.

As for his allies, they weren't faring any better.
