—"Sword Momentum: Decapitation!"

The flaming sword slashed toward the magma dragon's head, but it blocked the blow with its back. Its sturdy dragon scales effectively protected it from Soran's lethal strike. With a metallic clang, he barely broke through the scales along its spine, failing to penetrate even the muscle beneath. An injury like this meant nothing to a dragon.
