"From this moment on—"
The biting wind swept past his cheeks as the Bat-type Aircraft left an afterimage and plunged straight down.
Boom!
The Bat-type Aircraft instantly broke the sound barrier and crashed straight toward the ground.
Within the white shockwave, Mu Fan clutched the armor beneath his feet tightly, his arm muscles bulging, his eyes equally blood-red.
With a furious roar, Mu Fan leaped from the aircraft.
At this moment, a thousand meters in the air, he had no protection beyond the Dragon Rider Battle Armor.
He spread his arms toward the earth below, toward those blood-red eyes, and fell freely.
"—Fight, shoulder to shoulder!"
His furious howl burst across the sky.
At this moment, Mu Fan carried the wild arrogance and unruliness he had been born with.
No matter where he was, that fearless conviction and blade-cold will had long been carved deep into his blood.
That was a mark that could never be erased!
That was how Asura was.
Mu Fan was no different.
The Leaping Blood Color in Asura's eyes flickered like a candle in the wind. Just before it went out—
It suddenly erupted with savage intensity!
"Aga Asura... accepts the order!"
Like a blood-red killing god before the setting sun, it answered with a thunderous roar.
Its sole remaining engine burst forth with a red glow greater than ever before.
Its feet, which had been prepared to charge forward, stopped.
Boom—
A savage shockwave exploded without restraint.
The cape, no longer able to take shape, dragged a hundred-meter trail of red star-mist through the air.
Like a red meteor flying against the current, it shot straight toward Mu Fan!
Its battered palm opened.
Asura and Mu Fan's gazes met.
The same blood-red light danced within them...
The corner of Mu Fan's mouth curled upward.
