The instant he finished speaking, Golden Radiance plunged from the sky, all nine claws spread wide.
Golden lightning coiled around each dragon claw, weaving into nine golden pillars of electricity that blasted down toward Gobel's head.
Flame Qilin charged straight at him from the ground, its four hooves treading on whirlpools of flame.
As it charged, the golden-red fireball on its single horn swelled to over a foot in diameter, hurtling toward Gobel's chest like a miniature universe.
The black beast circled around from the side, the short golden spear on its single horn shining three times brighter than before.

Dense fragments of the bloodline law churned inside the orbs.
He punched his left fist toward the sky and his right toward the ground, the power in both fists erupting at the same instant.
The blood-colored orb on his left fist burst in midair, turning into a blood-colored barrier spanning hundreds of feet.

Three of the flame whirlpools beneath its hooves were blasted apart, and the shock wave
