The dust cleared.
The entire royal capital had vanished completely, leaving only an enormous, bottomless crater.
Scattered sparks slowly drifted down from the sky.
In the scorching air, an irregular mass of slowly writhing flesh was plummeting from above.
Within the writhing flesh, two skeletal wings flapped away, slowing its fall.
That mass of flesh was Dunn!
He had faced Byron's sudden self-detonation.
Having been extremely close to Byron to begin with, Dunn naturally had no way to dodge it completely.
However, he had seen this scene in advance through [Future Sight].
So Dunn had still escaped the center of the explosion.

And with the energy of the Legendary Spell lingering in his body, Dunn's physical regeneration had slowed!
He could only struggle to restore his wings first.
