An Extra’s POV

Terror.

That was the only word that could properly encapsulate the overwhelming emotions that flowed through everyone who stood and watched.

… Who saw the emergence of a being that transcended their understanding.

No one could move—not even Adonis.

They all just looked in fear and trepidation, perhaps hoping they would not be struck down where they stood.

This massive being—over fifteen meters in overall height—was clearly beyond their means.

It was invincible.

"Ahh… I suppose this form is too much for you. Then—"

~VWUSH!~

In a flash of purplish-blue energy, the Dragon's colossal form slowly began to shrink.

Its beastly form began to grow humanoid, until it finally condensed into an entity that could pass for a human—save for a few features.

It still had three horns protruding from its head, and its long hair shone with a bluish-black allure.

It had split pupils, like that of a beast, but its eyes were mostly human-like, glowing purple.

Its sharp teeth were hidden behind humanoid lips, and while it had a skin that vastly resembled a human's, scales appeared in multiple areas—like a portion of its face, neck, and hands.

It had wings behind it, and a tail still dancing back and forth, despite wearing what resembled an elegant blue suit made from the best of materials.

Even in this form, a twisted grin remained on his face, and so its onlookers could not be at ease.

This… this BEING was one of absolute destruction.

No one stood a chance.

"You're not going to say anything? Even after making it this far? How boring…"

The Dragon, now in the form of a pristine adult male, began to walk towards the group.

Its formal shoes clacked hard on the ground, causing an echo to permeate the world around.

"You finally caught me. You've figured it out. That should be a cause for celebration, no?"

More steps were taken.

The fifty-seven could not move back.

There was an instinctive drive that told them that any sudden movement—even the slightest hint of defiance—would lead to their inevitable deaths.

They could only swallow the saliva and wait… perhaps hope for some sort of intervention from the stronger ones.

… From Adonis and Lucielle.

"I can't say I blame you, though. This is why we Dragons can never take your kind seriously." The thing chuckled.
