The other two Rune War Machines finally reacted.
They desperately spun their tracks, trying to pull away from the Undead Tiger Flood Dragon.
At the same time, they unleashed their firepower like mad, attempting to drown the Undead Tiger Flood Dragon beneath a blazing barrage.

Dozens of vents had already appeared all over the Undead Tiger Flood Dragon's body.
Amid a string of popping sprays, dense red mist shot from the vents, completely shrouding it.
Howling Armor-Piercing Bullets and Rocket Propelled Grenades entered the red mist and visibly slowed, their trajectories bending off course.
