Zephyr suddenly burst onto the battlefield with a furious shout.
Black-and-red lightning wreathed his fist, tearing the air with a piercing crack.
Fueled by Zephyr's fury and conviction, the punch unleashed a cone-shaped shockwave straight at Bondrewd.
Bondrewd's Dragon Tail emerged from beneath his coat. Black-and-red lightning gathered over its black, segmented surface as it swept sideways.
