Time seemed to stand still as the blade connected with its target. The serpent writhed in pain, its mighty form trembling under the force of the blow.
A resounding roar echoed through the mountains, a mix of agony and defeat. The serpent weakened and overcome by the collective might of Lyrian and the others, succumbed to its wounds.
Its massive body collapsed to the floor in a loud thud, as Lyrian's enhanced form began to dwindle as well.
Before allowing himself to fully rest, however, he made sure to complete his true goal, which was the Hydro Serpent's crowned red jewel. Using his sword, he carved a jewel that was the size of an apple out of the beast's head.
"Oi! What the hell do you think you're doing with that!?" Silong suddenly shouted from the floor as he saw Lyrian taking out the jewel.
Other's also stood beside him, "Woah woah woah, let's not get too hasty here! That jewel does not belong to you! Hand it over," They began to side with Silong.
