Small bits of scrap metals, screws, and wirings littered the area where the dragon-like automaton had been. In the middle of all these was a glowing metallic gold orb, with runes circling it, which was surprisingly still intact. Upon closer inspection at the energy core, the metallic gold was not the exterior color of the orb but the liquid inside.
"Ar-Lo..." The man nearly fainted after seeing his greatest work reduced into this. He had never thought that the new challenger he had thought to be easy prey was actually a hidden dragon.
Unbeknownst to him, Kyran was indeed a hidden 'baby' dragon figuratively speaking. For this very reason, a dragon automaton trying to pit itself with someone who was blessed by the Dragon King was simply seeking death.
Taking a deep breath, the man finally stood and walked over to his automaton's energy core. He knelt on one knee to inspect it. Not even two seconds had passed, a slight frown appeared on his face.
