A Lizard and A Bat, part 2/2

POV Vesuvius:

A massive dragon flew through the sky, his body accelerating faster and faster as he kept ascending upwards like a rocket, piercing through the layers of clouds.

Lightning was crackling around him, and the air in his path split and flowed around him without any resistance.

The streaks of red light flashed behind him, slowly closing the distance towards him. The massive bats flapped their leathery wings in pursuit.

'I hate this absurd regeneration.' Vesuvius's eyes glinted in excitement as the mass of smoke, magma, and lighting kept gathering in his mouth, the purple light leaking through the gaps between his teeth.

Loud bangs shook with the sky, spikes of hardened blood shooting from under him and stabbing into his already cracked and crumbling armour, piercing all the way towards his scales where they stopped.
