With the powerful muscles attached to his wingbones, he generated an immense vortex that counteracted the reversed gravity, keeping his colossal body aloft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silver dragon’s roaring response grew more wrathful, thunderous in its intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rhetoric!

Comprised mainly of various family militias, their organization could be described as \"chaotic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands rushed desperately towards safety, leading to numerous stampedes. Some were swept into the maelstrom and perished tragically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the immortal players, once caught up in the war’s wrath, their lives ended permanently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, stay away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run for your lives!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help—the wind is too strong!
