Max's black flaming dragons did not retreat, did not falter; they circled, struck from all angles, and began to wrap their bodies around the colossal beasts like living chains of fire.
The initial clash was brutal. The first majestic dragon swiped its massive claw, scattering dozens of Max's creations in an instant, its black flames burning with purer intensity.
But Max didn't flinch. The crown above shimmered, and from its edges, giant black flaming chains shot downward like serpents. They coiled around the dragon's neck and wings, tightening with every twist. Hundreds of his smaller flame dragons bit into its scales, chipping away layer by layer until the majestic beast shuddered… and finally burst apart into embers that were sucked back into Max's flames.
