Ved immediately used everything he had, ignition and soul force. What formed above him was a dragon.
A tiny silver dragon, it had a slim, serpentine body like Linglong's but without the antlers. It was small, barely 10 metres long.
The dragon turned its eyes towards Ved, then disappeared. It didn't teleport, just moved so fast he lost sight of it.
Even the laws couldn't contain its speed, the next thing he knew, his back was on the ground.
It shattered, sending tons of stone through the sky. Ved flew back up; the attack had barely broken through his scales.
The dragon's power was not unbearable; it was just too fast, so fast he could barely follow its movements.
This thing was moving probably dozens of times faster than light; he couldn't be sure. What Ved didn't know was that it wasn't as fast as it seemed.
At least not in the traditional sense. Naledi had seen through it after all; after becoming rank six, she learnt the same ability.
