Ryu's aura was akin to a blazing torch in the dead of night.
The temperature skyrocketed, to the point that it was felt even beyond the protective veil of the star path. It transcended barriers, elevated beyond restrictions, suffocated opposition.
However, it seemed as though Ryu wasn't satisfied with this alone.
His wings spread out, their subtle movements causing a torrential storm of vicious winds to rush out in every direction. They fluttered, a dense concentration of royal blue Heavenly Patterns appearing across their surface and subsequently across Ryu's body.
With a single flap, Ryu vanished from his location, appearing before Starlight with a descending dragon claw, his glistening, sword-like nails suddenly exploding forth with swirling black Heavenly Patterns.
All of Starlight's aura was shredded to pieces beneath the might of his draconic claw, the clouds above splitting into six and the ground below collapsing.
