The two strongest three-legged Golden Crows remained perched high on the branches. They were the final guardians, unmoving as mountains.
"Roar—!"
Veyr, who had been forced back by a Golden Crow's claws, finally erupted. His body twisted violently in midair as azure light exploded outward.
In the blink of an eye, his human form vanished.
A colossal Azure Dragon appeared, scales like divine steel, horns piercing the clouds, dragon might flooding the heavens.
The dragon's roar rolled across the valley like thunder, layered with terrifying sonic force.
For a brief instant, the surrounding three-legged Golden Crows stiffened, their movements lagging by half a beat.
That half-beat was enough.
The demons accompanying Veyr instantly followed suit, abandoning their human forms and revealing their true bodies. Beast shadows filled the sky, demonic auras surging violently as their combat power leapt once more.
The previously one-sided pressure was abruptly overturned.
