"Dragon strike."
A dry laugh left Ark's throat.
"Ouh lá lá."
A large wave of red rippling energy tore through the slender blade, encompassing the entirety of the silver sword.
Ark's golden bean was completely dwarfed by the woman's version of his curse, the energy beam going so high that Ark could not see the end of it.
CRACK!
Multiple golden lines appeared on Ark's axe as his weapon caved under the force of the tumultuous energy.
The axe exploded in a wave of golden sparks, blowing over his body and leaving him completely undefended.
[Your Artifact has been destroyed]
The golden glow of Ark's dragon strike was consumed in an instant as the black energy charged towards him.
There was nowhere to run, no step to take.
It was checkmate…
Ark closed his eyes, ready to take the blow but just as it inched close to him he felt someone grab onto his shirt and pull him backward.
Boom!
