"ROOOOOAAAARRR!!!"
The Water Dragon Champion burst free from the depths like a mountain tearing itself from the ocean floor.
Its scales glistened as though carved from sapphire and polished by centuries of tides. Water cascaded down its serpentine body, flooding the rocky banks with torrential waves.
Each movement radiated raw power, a dominion born from centuries as the ruler of this lake. Its eyes glowed with ancient intelligence and merciless fury as they locked onto Draco and the Plant Dragon.
The Plant Dragon hissed again, a defensive posture rising through her body.
"This troublesome thing again…."
Draco's eyes narrowed. He felt it—the Champion's oppressive aura.
It pressed against his chest, a suffocating force that threatened to break bones through sheer will alone. For a heartbeat, his instincts screamed to retreat, to vanish back into shadow where such creatures could not reach him.
