Maxwell suddenly screamed.
The sound exploded across the battlefield like a wounded beast finally losing all restraint.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Boom!!!
A terrifying pillar of golden light erupted from his body and pierced straight into the sky. The surrounding earth shattered apart instantly while nearby trees bent violently from the pressure alone. The dragon shadow behind him became larger and larger until it almost looked real, its massive golden eyes glaring down at everything below.
The Holy Knights in the distance immediately raised their arms to shield themselves from the blinding light.
Even Borzoi's expression changed slightly.
"That brat…"
Golden scales rapidly spread across Maxwell's body once more. This time they became thicker, sharper, and brighter than before. Vein like patterns glowed beneath his skin while his muscles swelled unnaturally.
Then—
Crack.
Crack.
Crack.
The wounds caused by Cerys' daggers began healing rapidly.
The cuts closed.
