[indent]Lilliana continued releasing a couple short bursts of small Nullfire bolts at the beast’s hide, but it seemed to shrug off most of her and her allies attacks - aside from a few exceptionally well placed ones. She watched as the massive creature resisted their assault, and she couldn’t help but begin feeling a sense of victory as she saw the wounds her allies had inflicted upon it. A bleeding, eye-less socket and a severed wing was definitely not what she expected to see so soon.

But it wasn’t just rolling over and dying. Even as her guildmates barraged it with attacks, the dragon let out a massive screech, causing Lilliana to raise her hands up instinctively to cover her ears. The volume of it surprised her as she squinted her eyes, her enhanced hearing working against her as the sound reached her. She stumbled as the vibrations rang through her eardrums, barely being able to hear the various shouts and crashing of burning buildings of the battlefield. Her squint turned up to look at the beast, her eyes focusing in only to see it tearing through the restraints of their S-Class mage as its breath scorched the earth beneath its head. She watched in awe as she steadied herself and the dragon ripped free and stood to its full height, the spikes on its body appearing longer and more wicked.

Wait, was it...healing? Before she could confirm her suspicions she saw grass and vegetation rapidly sprout and grow up to form a thorny wall in front of her. It was barely a second before she felt a wave of heat buffet the air around her, and a blazing wave of flames scorch and lick the edges of the thicket that shielded her. From the dragon’s new attack. She nodded an unseen thanks to Grasidia as she felt the temperature around her rise. 

As soon as the flames were gone, Lillian stepped out from behind the thorny wall and moved her left hand to her face. She had to do something more - they weren’t going to end this fight at this pace and she couldn’t exactly approach it. She shifted the mask before it came off, revealing the pitch black scales that ran along her right jawline and almost an inch above it, as well as a couple inches down her neck. She inhaled deeply as she gazed with determination up at the dragon, the sound of a gravely voice echoing out from her despite her lips not moving in sync with the words.

Lilliana didn’t have time to finish her attack as yet another screech pierced her eardrums - even louder than before. Her mask fell from her hand as she gripped both sides of her head desperately and stumbled sideways, her held breath released harmlessly. The sound was too much for her sensitive ears as they rang painfully, her vision unfocusing as she fell to her knees and took cover behind the wall of brambles. It felt like whole minutes passing by as the ringing in her ears seemed to last forever. She felt a rumbling beneath her knees before the ground shattered around her, bits of rock splintering into the air as she tried to refocus her eyes. Her scaled hand groped the air in front of her until she felt the thicket created by Grasidia still standing before her. Her eyes turned up to see what was happening, her ears still ringing - probably bleeding - but the only thing she saw was the blur of motion of the creature’s black tail soaring towards her.

Her draconic hand shot up in front of her, her forearm out to try and block as much of the impact as she could - not that it felt like it helped. The massive tail struck her as it tore through what little resistance the thorny wall offered, crushing the wind out of her lungs as she was sent sprawling across the dirt and charred stone of the battlefield. She pulled her arms over her head as she collided several times, even as the ringing still echoed through her ears. She didn’t try to move as she felt the immense force of the blow and the several impacts afterwards rattle her entire body.

Even as she felt her momentum stop she remained still. Her body ached deep from the impact and she felt sharp pains in her sides even as she [i]thought[/i] about willing her muscles to move. She let out a heavy gasp as her arms moved off her face to reveal the smoke-filled sky - her lungs beginning to fill with air once again after having been winded by the dragon’s blow.
