Uddroth was still chasing Broidrireg relentlessly. Broidrireg avoided clashing with Uddroth and cast spells that mostly restricted Uddroth's movements. If Uddroth continued suffering damage, he would perish.
Broidrireg knew that the Uddroth he was fighting was no longer alive. Killing Uddroth would be the right thing to do, allowing this once great dragon a proper rest. Even so, he couldn't bring himself to do it. This holding back was another reason he had been having a problem ending this battle.
Uddroth suddenly stopped on his own accord. He just stayed still in the air.
When Broidrireg was wondering what was happening, he sensed mana fluctuation from Suzaki not far away. At the same time, Uddroth's mana started growing.
"What are you doing?" Broidrireg asked.
"I'm sorry, old one," Suzaki replied. "I'm sorry it has to come to this."
