rushed him in a tidal wave of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden lines spread across the air like cracks in glass, forming a crystal lattice in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wave of creatures slammed into it and burst apart like sunlight at dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply collided with his defense again and again, wearing it down through sheer number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Alamin’s body shifted, the tree pulsing brighter as if feeding on the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the seriousness of the situation, Arawn’s thoughts were on something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’....Why were they feeding it the Asuran horns?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn had his doubts and came to one single conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They were using the horns like a cover that made them look like mortals.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why would they want to mask themselves as

dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A way to pass through the laws of Lumina without being rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Parasites...\" he muttered under his breath as another wave shattered against the golden lattice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the tree pulsed again, and for a moment the glow inside its trunk shifted color, faint streaks of red threading through the white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’....Should I open my kingdom right now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered for a long second before he chose otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But just in

dragon roared and blasted a wave of fire mixed with white and red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast swallowed the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White and red fire tore upward like a pillar, not burning the air but erasing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn vanished from where he had been an instant before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beam carved through the clouds of white creatures behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though instead of dying, many of them dissolved into light and flowed straight back toward the tree, as if the attack itself had fed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it could reclaim them...\" Arawn muttered, reappearing dozens of meters higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sleeve was scorched where the edge of the blast had grazed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the dragon’s chest heaved, each breath making the roots in its ribs tighten like veins connected to two hearts instead of one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes were no longer fully draconic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thin threads of pale light ran through the slit pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn changed his strategy at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of prolonging the fight, he chose to end it in one move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice boomed within the pocket world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blazing

dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alamin roared, and the tree reacted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roots tore free from the dragon’s ribs, shooting upward like spears of pale lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrier of woven roots and condensed white light formed above its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small sun touched it and for a heartbeat, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barrier disintegrated first, roots turning to ash-light that scattered like dying stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave flattened the crater, turning jagged stone into a smooth glass-like surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the sun was swallowing the dragon, Arawn noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something that deeply messed with his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon who was on the verge of dying was grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, something clicked in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the time they arrived within the Orth Kingdom, they had been following a script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A script that was closely governed by the Outer God herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arawn snapped his head towards Himmel as he crossed his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"MY LORD!!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice drowned the sound of the Blazing Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"IT’S A TRAP—!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, the dragon played his cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree glowed brightly, its body imploded, dissolving the entire pocket
