Splutter! The sound of flesh tearing sounded before enormous dragon wings unfurled from the back of Zell; blood and discarded flesh not suitable for the flight were sent flying in the air, using the sudden burst of speed to dodge Tellurian and lifting into the air, breathing deeply as his wounds slowly healed.
'Faster, stronger... More power! I cannot allow myself to get hurt again! I will destroy this bastard before the merging!'
Zell soared high above the battlefield, soaring higher than any human should ever fly, before slamming down and knocking the body of Tellurian flying with a fierce kick; the counter from Tellurian's sword smashed into his flank, shaking his organs.
The metal boots on his feet became like a dragon, with large claws digging into the earth beneath him, creating a crater that would last centuries to stabilise his body as blood seeped from the cracks in his skin.
