"Just like last time, I shall channel Anemo energy for you."
"I knew it! It was YOUR voice I heard." I knew I heard Venti's voice from somewhere. I was gliding across the grey cloudy sky. Then I heard a low rumbling roar. Dvalin. I was right above him. He didn't seem to notice me.
"Look! There are two shiny spots on Dvalin's back!" There two bright purple spikes protruding from the dragon's back. "They appear to be poisonous blood clots that have coagulated on his wounds... The Abyss Order must have cursed the wounds. That's what's corrupting Dvalin's mind. To save Dvalin, we're going to have to get rid of those blood clots. Aim for the blood clots!"
"You don't go to tell me twice." I said. I flew a little over toward Dvalin's back and lunged toward the blood clot. I summoned my sword and before I stabbed him I apologized for the pain.
"Sorry for the pain, big guy but this is for your own good." He unleashed a loud roar when I stabbed him. My sword underneath the blood clot trying to pry it off of him. He used the cloud bank to get me off of his back. He flew as fast and far away from me as possible.
"Dvalin is getting away... but I am familiar with his tactics. Just hold on a bit longer. I'll extract and condense the pure Anemo from the shots being fired. Shattering them will create acceleration currents. I can't control where they will appear, so keep your eyes peeled."
"Heard!" Just like Venti said orbs of Anemo energy appeared in front of my eyes. Hitting them helped to give me a boost to get me closer to Dvalin. I was right behind him this time and I took my best aim toward the blood clots. Another Anemo orb appeared in front of me and that gave me an idea. I aimed towards the orb and it boosted me up toward a nearby cloud bank. I positioned myself right above Dvalin.
When I made sure that I was unseen, I summoned my sword and quickly called upon the Anemo power into my sword. I lunged towards him and swiftly sliced off the first blood clot.
"One down and one... well one more to go!" I cheered.
"Dvalin... I'm sorry this is hurting you... Hang on, just one more!" begged Venti.
...
The winds started to calm a little as I landed back to the tower where the group was. They ran up to me making sure that I was okay.
"Hey, where's Dvali-"
He suddenly appeared in the center of the tower. "Never mind, found him!"
"Now we can fight Dvalin on equal grounds! The grandest bard is here to help! But let me be clear... Even after hundreds of years without use, Dvalin's teeth and claws are still very dangerous."
"He has teeth...!" I asked as I dodged Dvalin's attack. He tried to butt his head at us and among the chaos I noticed that he has retractable teeth. Just when I thought that this fight would be much easier since we're now on equal ground... kind of. It got much harder. He kept butting his head or using his claws to slice us. Then suddenly the platform we were standing on started glowing.
"A-ha! This is Dvalin's ace in the hole: Caelestinum Finale Termini!" I didn't know what that means but I think that's fancy talk for Dvalin's gonna destroy the platform we were on.
"...This dragon has strange tase when it comes to naming things." said Paimon.
"I named it for him just now." Venti confidently said.
"Seriously!?"
"Paimon! Now's not the time!" I said.
