The appearance of the majestic dragon did little to disturb Michael's composure. His knowledge of the Guardian Guild's might reassured him that this ethereal creature was just one of their many trump cards and last lines of defense. Yet, the dragon's presence emanated a radiant glow, casting a shimmering light upon Hulwick island and the vast expanse of the surrounding ocean.
In the ethereal glow, the harrowing aftermath of the relentless battle came into sharp focus for the onlookers. Debris from the warships Michael had effortlessly destroyed floated upon the surface of the sea, a haunting reminder of the devastation wrought upon the naval forces. Lifeless bodies, both in the water and scattered across the land of Hulwick island, painted a grim tableau of the toll exacted by the conflict.
