The extreme cold brought stillness to the surrounding space and time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The point of collision was gradually descending toward the ground, and the pure white breath was getting closer and closer to Cassius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this continued—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red Dragon might be engulfed by the Breath of Bahamut, stripped of all personality, and forced into complete \"purification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no fear on Cassius’s ferocious dragon face. Instead, his pale golden pupils brimmed with exhilaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body trembled with excitement, and the fiery glow surged through the blood vessels within his dragon form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sizzle... sizzle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of burning and cracking emerged as a deep crimson glow appeared in the dragon crystal at the Red Dragon’s chest.

The crimson flames of chaos shattered the order of Bahamut’s breath, breaking the equilibrium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fiery pillar crushed the white cascade of ice, pushing it back rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oszedro’s expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodshot veins appeared in Cassius’s pale golden slit pupils.

Ending his life with a magnificent and fierce battle seemed a fitting conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oszedro thought so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop, Cassius!
