Drahon's gaze stayed on the Draconic Rat Boss monster, his mind racing.
There was only one way to deal with something like this - dragons!
That would do it!
They weren't going to fight this nightmarish creature with just swords, axes, and shields; they would instead burn it to death..., with their dragons.
He exchanged glances with Devon and Ayvira and they already knew. They already knew they were to summon their dragons. The plan was instinct. Summon, unleash, and burn this overgrown vermin before it could-
The Boss monster moved.
"Shit!"
It wasn't just speed, at least not the normal kind they knew. Instead, this was flash-level speed. It was like the very air bent around it, as if the monster had been waiting for that exact second, like it had been studying them all along.
Its molten-red eyes ignited with an almost mocking intelligence, its muscles tensing.
Without warning-
THOOM!
