An Extra’s POV

"All of this surprises me..."

Adonis was kneeling on the ground when he heard those words from the being above.

It was the Dragon General, Kar'en.

Her single flapped above as a distorted spatial barrier surrounded her. She looked down on everyone with her crimson eyes, and her red hair danced with the wind.

Despite the powerful explosion that just erupted, there didn't seem to be a scratch on her. Perhaps there was a few moments ago, but accounting for her defenses, and the superior regenerative capabilities of a Dragon General, her unharmed appearance wasn't too much of a surprise.

Even Adonis, after hearing her voice, didn't seem too shocked.

He didn't have the mental capacity to wonder about the million ways she could have escaped the blast or recuperated from its effects.

He was simply on his knees, completely downtrodden.

As for his allies, they weren't faring any better.

Justin, Billy, and Trisha had lost consciousness already. Clark was still struggling to cling on to life, and Alicia was completely out of it.

Sure, the Dragon side had also suffered heavy losses, but the most troublesome foe still remained.

Her condescending gaze and overwhelming presence told Adonis that there was no way out.

They were done for.

"Humans with such capabilities... I never would have imagined they existed." Kar'en went on to say.

Adonis didn't respond.

"To think you could resist my Curse Magic--something on the Absolute Tier--and the rest of your comrades could put up such a decent fight..."

The reason Adonis was only mildly affected by the Curse Magic--which soon faded away--was due to one of his Class Privileges.

As the Hero, he was immune to most negative Status Conditions, and his body was to remain healthy at all times.

Even in the case of curses and debuffs that were immensely powerful, their effects would be mitigated by this Privilege, and their duration would be cut short.

If Adonis wasn't the Hero, he too would have fallen unconscious at this point.

"It's too bad all your actions are for naught. In the end, no matter how hard you struggle, you can not win against the might of the Draconic Empire."
