Apollo's bokken tore through the air, as though he was ripping through the fabric of space.
A thunderclap resounded throughout the empire.
The dragon made of water was split in two before scattering into tiny droplets of lifeless water. It could no longer reform. Just the shockwave from Apollo's slash forcefully shattered what gave it the strength to hold together.
Yet...
While the dragon made of water was utterly decimated, the dragon made of wind was unharmed. As such, nothing stopped it from attacking Apollo.
The sound of tearing flesh and cracking bones filled the air.
Apollo's spine shattered under the force of the dragon's jaws. He could no longer stand tall, as he had nothing to support him.
Rhea coughed up a mouthful of blood. She received severe backlash from her dragon dissipating.
