Chapter 29: Eye of the Storm King

Cassius stretched his wings and glided over the collapsing stone bridge.

But he wasn't fleeing. He flew towards the Storm Giant's corpse.

The hurricane buffeted him left and right. Flickering arcs of lightning chased him, with bolts striking behind him, creating charred craters in the ruins.

The red dragon dodged desperately in the chaotic airflow, flapping his wings with all his might against the fierce wind and rain, wobbling towards the eye of the storm.

The closer he got to the center, the more intense the elemental reactions became. Arcs of electricity filled every inch of the air.

In a few breaths, the red dragon was already covered in wounds.

Despite having several spells for protection, his body bore charred scars under the violent elemental reactions.

The golden scales were corroded with pockmarks from the acid rain, arcs of electricity circulated around his body, and every wingbeat produced sizzling sounds.

Finally, he was only ten meters from the corpse.

"Boom!"
