Black flames suddenly erupted from his shoulder, wrapping around the cursed eye without burning it. At the same time, seven-colored lightning flickered once around his body, and the golden-black dragon scales released a deep draconic pressure.
The shadow trying to touch the curse mark began twisting violently, as if the Witch's curse itself refused Morgana's control. Before Morgana could react, Max lifted his left hand and crushed the frozen shadow with raw physical pressure.
Then Dragonheart moved again.
This time, Max slashed seven times.
Each slash was short, accurate, and merciless.
The first shadow was severed at the neck.
The second was split from shoulder to waist.
The third was pierced through the forehead.
The fourth had its violet eyes cut apart.
The fifth was cut through the knees.
The sixth was divided at the core where its curse threads gathered.
