"Bang!!!"
A black sphere slammed heavily into the ground with a bang, throwing up dust.
Then the sphere slowly unraveled, turning into countless pitch-black arms.
They pinned the exposed Red Dragon Sarayes down, leaving him unable to move.
Sarayes struggled desperately, but it was completely futile. Resisting the volcanic eruption had exhausted too much of his stamina, and his injuries were far too severe.
If Sarayes had unleashed Dragon's Breath the instant the arms seized him, he would still have had a chance to escape them. But because he had been chanting Draconic Magic, he had been unable to breathe fire at all.

Dunn's body had fully recovered by then, and he watched the Red Dragon pinned firmly to the ground before him, struggling in vain.
A greedy smile appeared on Dunn's lips.
Still, Dunn was not about to celebrate before the battle was over.

It was the hardest scale on a dragon's body.
It was also a dragon's fatal weakness, marking the location
