"Oh, no!" V shut her eyes tightly, screaming in fear. She almost stopped her power due to Reselverus's devastating strike that shot toward her at lightning speed. Yet then the situation fell silent—nothing happened. V felt no impact or explosion. Amazingly, the silver light omnipotence continued to pulse steadily.
Slowly, V opened her eyes and was flabbergasted to see the shadow of a gargantuan black fire dragon shielding her from the strike.
"Your Majesty?" V gasped. This was the first time she had seen the figure of a giant black fire dragon. No, it was just a shadow, similar to Slater Volkan's elemental power in Tales in Spring—although he couldn't perform a shifter, Slater Volkan could summon the shadow dragon Narus the Dragon Water as an avatar he controlled.
Of course, Ares could do it. V could breathe a sigh of relief as she locked eyes with Ares at the edge of Dalerian city. V had been so focused that she hadn't noticed their fierce battle.
