The sound of thunder exploded as the middle head of the Devastrigon unleashed a powerful roar before the left and the right consecutively did. It unleashed a powerful sandstorm that we had to cover ourselves. We stood on our ground while covering our faces by using our arms, trying not to get pushed by the unstoppable force. But our feet slid backward before the roar finally pushing us, causing us to roll on the ground.

Opening its two big wings, the Devastrigon pierced the wall of the massive volcano to climb. It started to ascend in the red sky as we all looked up. I couldn't believe what I was seeing right now. From its huge body to its tail of the three-headed dragon was armored with crimson hard scales, so bulky it was served as its powered exoskeleton. The wings expanded following with burning flames of the inferno. The side of the dragon's forearm up to the elbows had grown pointy massive horns. 

It turned long enough to impale the prey from a far distance. The claws were deadly as an old witch's nails (No offense). The three heads' fangs were fatal that they could crack the most unbreakable substance without even trying. Yikes. Like helmets, their faces were protected with crimson scaly armor, making them look more menacing. Their burning eyes gazed down at us as if the three heads were looking at our soul. Flames dancing starting from behind their heads, down into their back, and finally into its tail.  

Blasting with their powerful beam cannon three times in a row, I knew it would kill us all. So I caught the blast by using the side of my blade. "Xabe!" They all shouted. Despite the firepower, I managed to hold on, but not for long. I was pushed forcefully by the blast, crushing through the volcanic wall behind us. I could feel my hands shaking and the side of the blade was getting closer to my face. Then, the blasting stopped. After shaking my head to get rid of the dust, I spotted Victor threw a giant rock which he picked up from the ground to the right head's face. "Let's move!" I heard Claes.

The right-headed dragon blew rapid balls at Victor, who was jumping like a gymnastic to avoid getting crushed and spat by lava splashes. "Come, three head uglies!" Victor taunted. Meanwhile, I saw Sean used a spell to splash lava on the left head's face. Do you expect that would hurt it, Sean? As the left-head dragon saw him, it was about to unleash its power firepower, but I didn't know what comes next. Taking care of the middle head dragon, Claes was raising his hand- he was hypnotizing it. However, the way I saw what was happening, the magic didn't bother the dragon. It's not working.

Xabe, what in the world are you still stuck in here? Get your butt out! My conscience abruptly yelled at me. I forcefully leaned forward and focused on the chest, but there was one problem. The Devastrigon's chest plate looked dark and spiky. I couldn't see the glowing flames through it. This was bad, but I still need to try. Followed by another volcanic splash beneath, I dashed in the air toward the Devastrigon.

Judging by their humongous size previously, the three-headed dragon's size right now could almost conquer the size of the shape of one of the biggest islands. I flew from any direction just to avoid getting impaled by its sharp flaming tail. My claymore burned so brightly, that was the signal that I had to take action. I sliced its gigantic tail every time it was about to hit me. The middle head blew powerful flames at me but I managed to evade it.

I was smacked by its gigantic paws that caused me to crash-landed on the forest far from the volcano. Ashes and dirt smothered my entire body as I was continuing to slide down on the ground. Thanks to Sean's purification flask, I'm still looking good as new. I shook my head while sweeping my hair, trying to get rid of the smaller dirt.

As I looked up to the red atmosphere, the Devastrigon was flying toward where I was at. It's not focusing on the warriors now that its rival was here. I glanced everywhere to see my claymore dumped on the debris from the north. I lost my grip on it. I ran to grab my weapon, then suddenly I heard a scream. I peered to the dragon's tail to see five small people hanging on its swaying tail. They're crazy! But they're hanging on the side of the tail, not the top since that's where the flames were.
