Chapter 95: A Stone Coffin

Immediately after Rala’s takeoff with Instructor Noor, we were treated to an unbelievable spectacle playing out in the sky above us. The dragon’s colossal frame blurred as she banked, ascended, and dived through the air with frightening speed, periodically blasting the monstrosity with her Light of Destruction. Her foe unleashed countless bolts of black lightning in response, each one packed to bursting with power, but Instructor Noor repelled them all with his Black Blade, sending them crashing into the plains and mountains in the distance. Each impact caused the earth to rumble and a thundering echo as obsidian light carved away the horizon.

From time to time, Mithra brought its ludicrous strength to bear by blanketing the sky with flames. Astirra and I managed to push them back by the skin of our teeth, shaping them into a searing fireball that Rala sent crashing into the monstrosity with a single mighty beat of her wings.

Mithra recoiled in response to the attack, creating an opening that Rala refused to ignore. She poured more of her destructive breath weapon into the mass of wriggling flesh, not letting up until the dark crimson sky had turned a blinding white. A brief moment later, the shock wave reached the earth, collapsing buildings and stone statues alike.

In the midst of the incessant, deafening noise and tempest of all-consuming flame, Instructor Noor and Rala continued to fight.

“Incredible...”

The fierce battle on the surface hadn’t let up in the slightest, but I was unable to tear my eyes away from the grand display above. It was like watching the gods of myth and legend in a fight to the death.

Indeed, I was witnessing a clash between superior beings. The fight had already advanced into territory inviolable to us mere mortals. But as my thoughts were snatched away by the war in the heavens more fantastical than even the wildest daydreams, I caught sight of Rolo beside me and immediately returned to my senses.

“My apologies, Rolo,” I said. “I didn’t want to force Rala into this...but I couldn’t think of anything else that would work.”

“It’s okay. She wanted to contribute. I mean, look at how much fun she’s having.”

“I suppose you’re right. Still...at this rate, seizing victory won’t be easy—not even for Instructor Noor.” Despite the ferocity of the battle and the bath of searing flame it had endured, the monstrosity seemed no worse for wear.

Just as Rolo had said, Mithra was clearly wary of Instructor Noor’s Black Blade. Having seen the weapon crush the monstrosity’s fingers, I could understand why—it was capable of dealing actual damage to our enigmatic foe. I’d allowed Rolo to read my intentions specifically so that he could send my instructor up into the sky with Rala.

Rala’s Light of Destruction was powerful enough to level entire cities with a single blast, yet it could only burn away trivial amounts of the monstrosity’s flesh. If we wished to seize the upper hand, we would need to contribute more of our fighting strength to the battle above—someone capable of breaking the stalemate.
