Having accomplished the goal he had focused his entire being on, Marcus returned to his original form and fell out of the sky and towards the ground.
He was in a state of bleary consciousness from having expended every ounce of mana he had within him.
Only just barely did he manage to stop himself at the last moment and change his momentum before falling into the ground.
Becoming tangible again, he collapsed onto the scorched ground below and looked up at the enormous Lava Dragon covered in crimson flames.
Gronex was running low on mana himself after casting such a powerful spell, but his strength and stamina still remained in acceptable conditions.
His Supreme Skill was already restoring his power, and the ancient dragon was far from being beaten.
"A commendable effort, but it is over now."
Marcus heard Gronex's voice as if someone was speaking right next to his ears.
