Just as Klauth was pursuing Solam, Violette came up behind him and dealt him a heavy blow.
Amid intense magical fluctuations, a translucent pale-blue hand suddenly descended from the sky and slammed the red dragon viciously into the ground!
"Bigby's Crushing Hand!" A ninth-level evocation spell. A massive hand composed of magical energy seized the enemy, capable of crushing, grappling, or directly pushing them away.
Its crushing bonus was the caster's level plus a 15-point Strength check. If the target failed the check, they would be crushed outright.
Its grappling bonus was the caster's level, Intelligence bonus, and a 12-point Strength check. Even if the target passed the check, they would still take damage, the amount determined by the target's Constitution—the higher their Constitution, the lower the damage.
Its force bonus for pushing objects was the caster's level plus an 18-point Strength check.
A red dragon's innate Strength was already exceptionally high, and Klauth himself was immensely powerful, so his Strength was extraordinary! Besides, the Orichalcum armor on him was no mere decoration. Thus, Bigby's Crushing Hand failed to crush Klauth outright and could not even inflict a scratch on him. It merely pinned him in place. Even so, under Klauth's struggles, Bigby's Crushing Hand was no longer quite so secure.
Still, Klauth could not move for the moment. Would Solam pass up such a perfect opportunity?
Of course not!
Solam directly pulled a staff shaped like a durian from the Tactical Master's Iron Gauntlet and swung it viciously at Klauth!
The sky suddenly split open. Several meteors roughly a meter across, trailing long tails of fire, burst through the clouds high above and smashed violently into the red dragon's body!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shockwaves from the violent explosions turned the entire rooftop plaza upside down! Even
