Rossweise flew behind Star.
Leon leapt up, landing on her back. After picking Leon up, the two immediately distanced themselves from Star.
"Is this guy making his final counterattack?" Leon watched as Star continued to gather energy.
Rossweise circled above, observing Star's condition. He did not seem like he was preparing a counterattack. No, this looked more like a mutual destruction!
At that moment, not only was Star gathering energy in his mouth, but even his heart was starting to glow.
"He is using the power of the Heart-Guarding Dragon Scales."
Rossweise's voice was low. "Star is planning to destroy everything here."
It was an unfamiliar term to Leon, so he asked, "Heart-Guarding Dragon Scales? What is that?"
Rossweise hesitated for a moment before replying, "It is complicated to explain. But in short, if we do not stop Star, we are all going to die here."
Leon could feel the terrifying energy Star was amassing. If he were at his peak, he might be able to gather enough power to cancel it out. But right now, he only had fifty percent of his magic reserves, and the previous rounds of combat had already consumed a lot of his energy.
So, if they wanted to stop Star, they would need to find another way.
Leon responded, "This energy is already beyond control or estimation, and even Star knows it."
Rossweise said, "He is now a giant, uncontrollable bomb that could explode at any moment. And we do not have any energy strong enough to neutralize it."
She knew Leon's power well at his peak, he was overwhelmingly strong. But this situation was unlike anything before. The Star about to go down with them was the strongest opponent Leon had ever faced.
After a brief hesitation, Rossweise asked, "What is your plan? Retreat, or stay and try to stop him?"
Leon frowned, analyzing calmly. "Rossweise, you just said that the explosion range is unpredictable, and Noah and the others are still in the sanctuary. We can not take that risk, so we must stop Star's self-destruction here."
After pondering for a moment, Rossweise nodded. "Alright. Do you have any ideas?"
Leon slowly raised his head and looked at the blue sky. Suddenly, a crazy idea flashed through his mind.

Far off on the general's platform, Ravi had already prepared a spatial teleportation array. The moment Star self-destructed, he would flee through the teleportation spell.
Ravi had never imagined that the old dragon would go so mad as to destroy everything here.
Did he really not know how terrifying that power was?
Oh. Maybe he did. But after all, once he used this move, everyone would die, so what did it matter?
The dragons' inherent obsession with revenge was something even they sometimes could not understand. Especially kings like Star, with purer dragon blood. They could not allow themselves to fail, and certainly not so miserably.
Mutual destruction was part of how these mad dragons fought their enemies.
"Hey, hey, Ravi, you can not just leave me here! The lord will not spare you!" Nacho anxiously grabbed Ravi's arm.
Ravi disdainfully shook him off. "If you want to survive, stop spouting nonsense. Leon Cosmodeous is dead this time, truly dead. His power is strong, yes, but from what I have observed, with his current level, there is no way he can gather enough magic to match Star. This place will be flattened, and we will not even need to lift a finger."
"Y-Yes, right! Leon will not escape, and our mission will be complete!" Now, Nacho also began crazily echoing Ravi. "It is just a pity about Star. Such a brave Dragon King, going down like this."
Ravi bit his lip. "Sacrificing Star to erase a monster like Leon Cosmodeous from this world is a fair trade."
"Yes, yes, from the moment that kid joined the army, I never thought much of him, I wait, what are they doing?" Nacho looked again toward the battlefield.
Ravi followed his gaze.
He saw Rossweise, still in dragon form, continuously shooting fireballs into the sky. The silver dragon guards waiting at the border also shifted into their dragon forms, following Rossweise's lead, sending fireballs toward the sky.
Hundreds of fireballs vanished into the clouds at once.
Those fireballs surely they will not harm Star? Ravi thought, So what are they doing?
A death ritual?
On the battlefield, Star continued to gather energy. The silver dragon clan kept firing fireballs into the sky, one after another.
Gradually, the previously clear sky began to darken, and thick storm clouds rolled in.
Plop
A drop of water fell on Ravi's hand.
He looked down. "Rain?"
After one drop, a downpour soon followed.
Ravi glanced at the silver dragons, who kept launching fireballs, and muttered to himself, "Dragon flames heat the surrounding air, creating an updraft that forms storm clouds, so it is raining But do they really think rainwater will extinguish Star's destructive fury? What a joke, they are a bunch of idiots"
His words abruptly stopped.
No. Something was not right.
They were not using the rainwater.
They were
BOOM!
A thunderclap echoed from within the clouds.
The thunder roared like it was exploding in Ravi's heart, rendering him speechless.
"Thunder that lunatic that guy is insane!!" Ravi realized what was happening and seemed to lose control.
Beside him, Nacho still did not understand. "What? S-Should we run away now?!"
"No."
A strange smile spread across Ravi's darkened face. "This kind of scene, if you miss it, you will never see it again in your lifetime. How can we run?"
Nacho's expression changed. "You are mad you dragons are all mad!"

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the massive silver dragon hovered in the sky.
Leon stood tall on the dragon's head, raising his right hand high.
The rain poured harder. The lightning within the clouds, like a beast suddenly awakened, bellowed with deafening rage.
"Lightning, the most powerful and uncontrollable element in nature."
Leon summoned the lightning as the thunder rolled endlessly. "But to stop something as uncontrollable as Star, we will need this kind of power."
"Sometimes I really think your way of thinking is like a dragon's, Leon."
Rossweise said softly, "No human would come up with such a crazy plan."
Leon spoke, "My dear Melkvey, neither dragons nor humans are the crazy ones"
Lightning surged, shaking the heavens and earth.
That man in silver armor leapt from the dragon's head.
"The crazy one is me."
He grasped the lightning and charged straight into the golden light about to obliterate everything.
