The bangs got even louder as the mass of water passed with all its weight and force, slowly crushing and sphere of fire.
Then water, wind, and lightning burst into the kingdom as the elementals manifested inside the fiery bubble. All four elements interlocked and pushed back the onslaught of water, accompanied by explosions of reacting elements and fireworks of sparks.

\'How pesky to bring reinforcement inside.\' Vesuviuse\'s mind brimmed with annoyance.
Every minute he wasted fighting and destroying those elementals, the longer he would be separated from his minions, increasing their casualties.
With fury, the golden crown of fire and lightning manifested around his head, all the horns joining it like giant metal and crystal jewels.
The mana flowed inside, transforming into a thin trickle of golden energy.
\'In this case, the absolute destruction is in place.\' The divine energy seeped into his rivers of mana, and his mind moved, transforming all the thousands of magic arrays producing the water.
The dragon flapped his wings as everything around him lit up in golden colors, his claws glinting beneath the water with a deadly sharpness as more and more mana, lifeforce, and divine energy flowed into them.
The expanding sphere of the four elements grew closer with every passing moment, the water parting in the dragon\'s way.
All the magic at once finished its transformation, the color of the circuits changing into a chaotically shifting palette of colors with faint golden traces mixed in them.
In the explosive reaction, the water evaporated, replaced by the interlocked waves of red lightning, golden and purple solar corona, and pitch-black coldness. The toxic powers and radiation mixed with them.
The elemental bubble shrunk, the destructive force melting and annihilating it right before the dragon\'s eyes. However, he didn\'t stop as he flapped his wings even stronger, the lightning and solar flares propelling him forward while more and more magic spun in his open mouth.
\'I want to tear you with my claws. You have attacked me and my minions. You will die for it.\'
The space warped around the dragon as he skipped the distance and crashed into the elemental bubble from behind, like a bullet launched from a giant railgun. The destructive storm followed in his taces as he burst between the dissolving elementals.
With the joy of hunting and the anger of being attacked, his claws cut through the void, shining with a golden light. His arms, wings, and even tail all moved independently, all the reflexes and sub-brains kicking in.
The sharp blades pierced and cut through the four beings of living elemental energy, accompanied by shockwaves and flashes of light.
Vesuvius didn\'t even stop in his battle frenzy as the gathering breath exploded out his mouth in a burning fan shape, and the domain descended upon the elementals with full force.
They vanished, frozen, burned, electrocuted, poisoned, cursed, crushed, and irradiated at the same time.
Before he could even close his eyes, he was alone.
Only the chaotically storm of elements with the dragon floating in remained.
The hunger for a battle still circulated within his veins. It wasn\'t enough. He wanted to tear more of the enemies.

Announcements dinged. However, he ignored them as he wanted to firstly destroy his pesky enemies.
\'You can wait, but my minions and my empire will not wait. Every one of them that dies today is a wasted asset.\'
POV Ariana:
The cries of pain and explosions sent shivers down her spine. The valley below her burned and shook, the kobolds and humans holding their large circular formations side by side.
The massive spinning dome of magic stood like an impregnable roof above their heads. The fiery bombs, icicles, and boulders rained upon it, sending ripples through its transparent surface.
In its center, the white-haired girl stood, firmly graphing her white staff, decorated with thousands of shining mana crystals, given to the empire by their generous master.
\'This is my day. Today I will show the fruits of my hard work.\' Her eyes were closed, but she still saw and saw everything, mana flowing in the massive interlinked formations below the circular ranks of the black armored soldiers.
Bright blue flames and the light white frost mixed and intertwined on the wings on her back. Her white hair waved as she breathed out before raising her ice staff above her head.
He long white skirt and silver armor, decorated with eyes shining like a beacon within the dark formations of the soldiers entrusted to her.
"Ice-fire storm!" Her crystal clear voice spread through her ranks, and all the kobolds raised their halberds, the crystal gems shining and pulsing with her staff.
There was no sign of her internal fear, \'What if this fail? At best I will die here and at worst I will survive, but the shame will haunt me forever.\'
She felt it. All the mana of the entire army was in her hands, the shining magic formations glowing on the ground below them.
More and more explosions landed upon the barrier, cracks slowly extending through its previously flawless and smooth surface.
\'Now, I can\'t wait any longer as we are like sitting ducks here. \' Her nervosity was finally gone. She was sure she would succeed as she had to.
At last, she released her spell, and the nova of blue and white exploded from the entire circular army formations. In an instant, it swept through the enemies.
POV Vesuvius:
The dragon reappeared above the burned soil, the exploding volcano below still spitting out clouds of ash and bombs of magma.
Mana flowed into his vocal cords, and his voice resounded far into the distance. It didn\'t just spread by sending waves through the air. Instead, it spread through the vibration of mana itself, reaching further than it should.
"My fellow kin. Look at those cowardly gods. They sent their minions... no, their slaves after us without showing themself. They didn\'t show us even a bit of the respect we deserve." He was a battle lord, and he was ready to lead his kin to the glorious battle.
\'This might be an opportunity. Previously we have attacked, but to truly awaken the rage of my kin, they should be the ones attacked.\' It was their nature, and now that their territories were violated and their minions attacked and killed, their anger would burn for a long time.
"Leave your territories and lands I have bestowed upon you and pursue the attacker. Show them what will happen to those fools that dare to attack our dragonkind!"
The roars filled with magic responded from every cardinal direction.
"Grraaah!"
"Groar!"
"Graaaaa!"
\'They will regret this attack till their last day.\'
