The flaming hurricane, which is Ray, barrels towards the upside-down Conquests at an intense speed, sinking his fists into Conquests stomachs, his stomach sinking in, his organs rupturing his spine and ribs cracking and Conquest body sent zooming, bouncing, skidding and rolling along the ground.
Conquest lies there on his back, unmoving.
“Did... did we win? Did that do him in?”, Claire asks Ray.
“I hope so. If he survived that he’s not human, I felt his face smush at my feet and his stomach organs turn to mice meat.... He can’t be okay.”.
“Well, you know the thing is Ray... he’s not human he’s a demon.”, Claire says seriously, looking off into the distance.
Ray looks at Claire and Claire looks at him, there's a few seconds of silence and then they both burst into laughter. And then... they heard it. The sounds of a person getting up.
“No fucking way...”, Ray says shocked.
Conquests stands there, hunched over liked a wounded animal, face destroyed, organs ruptured, spine damaged, yet still standing. He lifts his hands slowly and grabs his horn and snaps it off. As soon as the horn broke, steam began to erupt all over Conquest and as it disappeared, Conquest stood tall.
Conquest, for the first time, is panting and exhausted, a look of shock on his face.
“T-that's the first time... I-I've been driven. I had to snap my horn like a child, this is the first, how embarrassing, how embarrassing, HOW EMBARRASSING! I can’t show my face there like this. I need to bring something of equal value, but what, but what, but what? I know. Their heads.”, Conquest says holding his face, smiling like the demon he is.
Conquest stands tall and proud.
“What did you just do?”, Ray asked seriously.
“I shouldn’t tell you, but. You'll be dead anyways. What I did was break my horn, this allows me to regain my peak physical form, naught of any injuries, however, it halves my current energy.”, Conquest says.
“So, your weaker than you were before? So, your just gonna lose again?”, Ray says smiling.
“I’ll admit the power and speed were great, getting hit by something like that again would surely be the end, however, I know that you are the dangerous one, I now know to constantly watch you. If you think you will pull something like that off again, your mental.”, Conquest says, turning his head and sticking his tongue out.
Ray knew her was right which angered him, the whole point of that move was it being a sneak attack, that's why it was so effective, and Conquest was right in the matter that they probably wouldn’t be able to land another one of those hits now. But one mistake Conquest has made, is believing that Claire isn’t the one to watch out for.

After relaying everything Conquest had said to Claire, the 2 vs 1 battle begins again.
“I’ll set you up with the finishing blow this time.”, Ray states.
“Does, that mean I’m gonna finally level up again after so long?”, Claire jokes.
“Yeah, these guys are great Exp farms.”, Ray says grinning.
“Exp farms?”, Claire asks confused.
However, Conquest was suddenly in front of them. Instinctively, remembering what happened last time, Ray and Claire, both kick each other sideways, out of Conquests grasp. Both circling around him, Ray pulls out his Mana blade, charging it with white flames and Ray and Claire simultaneously attack, Conquest defending both sides, a crater appearing at his feet. All 3 of them grinning devilishly.
It was as if Conquests love for battle was rubbing off on them
Meanwhile, Salamander, Aqua and Sylphie are all hovering high above the area, face to face with another dragon, it had yellow scales and a lightning bolt shaped tale, and its wingers were flapping about frivolously. They had been here for ages now, ever since the battle had begun. It appeared that Salamander and the others were trying to appeal to what was clearly the Lightning dragon, however he didn’t seem to want to co-operate, he seemed to be having fun, blasting lightning. However, Salamander must have said something, in a language uncoherent to any other living creature, that seemed to stop the yellow dragon in its childish antics, the yellow dragon sighed and nodded its head, the others smiled in joy and then, began to race off.
Back with Lilly, they had severely damaged the swarm of demons however, they were now starting to faulter, they were getting tired now, the only ones still performing at a high enough standard were Lilly, Alex Ceasar and Tia, the others had begun to faulter, which had result din the lass of life for some. And the demons had finally began to see it, a bridge, that stretched over the giant Crevasse, and they began to take advantage of that.
However, just as they did, they were hit by a combo vortex of fire, water, wind and Lightning, which destroyed nearly every demon there. Everyone and thing on the battlefield temporarily froze as they stared at the 4 legendary beings. Small, but huge in comparison to all of them.
“S-Sylphie, Aqua, Salamander and... is that the Lightning dragon? But isn’t he supposed to be a mischievous Dragon that loves to cause mischief? Whys he here?”. Lilly said shocked.
Hearing this, the Lightning dragon let off sparks of joy, a very evident mischievous smile on his face.
Suddenly, Salamander tapped the Lightning dragon and they both darted off in the direction of Ray and Claire.
Sylphie and Aqua flew over to Lilly and they both snuggled up to her.
“Are you both gonna help me?”, Lilly asked excitedly.
Both dragons let out a little caw of joy and acknowledgement.
“Then this battle ends now!”, Lilly says, a successful smile on her face.
“EVERYONE, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET OUT OF OUR WAY!”, Lilly shouts, as she draws her final arrow, the 2 dragons floating above her.
This was going to be epic, the power of 2 dragons and a prodigy archer.
