The sand particles cut through the scales of the Red Dragon, slowly wearing away the luster of the scales that are unprotected by any power, grinding the thick and sturdy dragon scales into a thin sheet, to wear through the dragon's scales and then erase the dragon's skin and flesh, muscles, and steel bones.
But after Karon absorbed the spice, his control over his body had reached the refinement of every cell. The energy contained in each cell was mobilized by him, extracted bit by bit, and distributed as reserves into the skin under the deliberately polished scale.
Whenever the Red Dragon's scales were about to be worn through, abundant energy immediately surged in, allowing the Giant Dragon's scales to quickly grow and form a layer of defense and toughness higher than before.
The skin and flesh on his body not covered by scale armor were the same, as muscles squeezed out sand particles in the decay, then grew, then destructed, reborn through the pain of growth and destruction.
