"GRRRROOAAWWWW!!!"

In the sky, the titanic figure of Dragnir roared with impotent fury.

"GRRRROOAAWWWW!!"

Its muscles tensed with useless violence, trembling and contracting in a desperate attempt to break free, but the paralysis curse left by Lilith held it captive. It was an invisible cage, yet as real as the stars, which frustrated it more and more as its roars echoed throughout the Veil.

"GRRRRR!!"

Its roars of rage only ceased when Dragnir sensed something. A presence approaching it more and more, it was the very presence it had sought to consume, yet something was different this time.

It recalled the faint aura that emanated from that presence before, being barely perceptible, an unstable mix of energies that flickered erratically, like a spark about to explode.

But now, the sensation was chilling, completely different. The aura flowed with a power and naturalness that made its scales bristle, stabilizing at an astonishing speed as it approached. That instability had transformed into an unstoppable torrent of power, consolidating into a form it had never witnessed. It was a palpable transformation, a threat solidifying with each passing moment.

"RAAAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRR!!!"

A danger alarm resonated deep within Dragnir's being, a primal echo it had never before experienced in its long and destructive existence, causing it to let out a roar of pure fury and defiance, attempting to break free from the paralysis and indignation.

"RAAAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRR!!!!"

Unable to contain itself, and channeling all the energy its immobilized body could muster, Dragnir enveloped itself in the eye of a typhoon of chaotic energy it generated in a matter of seconds. The air around it twisted, and the sky itself seemed to groan. With astonishing speed, it concentrated its power and fired a massive wave of chaotic fire towards the sky.

(KABOOOOOOOOM!!!)

The wave of dark flames split into thousands of incandescent fragments, each a small star of destruction. They dispersed in the air, creating a terrifying rain of annihilation that began to fall over the entire surroundings, devastating the landscape with explosions and disintegration.

(SHOOOOOM!!!) (P-TSSSSHHH!!!)

Simultaneously, Dragnir unleashed thousands of dark energy beams in all directions.

(ZZZZZZHHOOOM!!!) (CRACK!!!)

These rays, relentless and precise, focused directly on the existence it now considered, without a doubt, its most dangerous enemy: the Silver Knight rising towards it. It was a declaration of total war, a display of absolute power against an unexpected threat, all while Dragnir still struggled to break free from its bonds.

And facing such indiscriminate destruction filled with despair....

"That's incredible!!"

....responded a knight filled with amusement.

Already mounted on the straw pegasus, whose wings flapped with surprisingly agile energy, the Silver Knight looked up at the storm of destruction Dragnir had unleashed. The rain of chaotic fire descended like a swarm of mad comets, and the thousands of rays traced erratic patterns in the sky.

(SHOOOOM!!!) (P-TSSSSHHH!!!) (ZZZZZZHHOOOM!!!) (CRACK!!!)

"Pffft! Ahahahahaha!"

Amidst that bombardment that colored the skies, a faint laugh, filled with an almost childlike excitement, escaped from the Silver Knight's armor. It was a pure, uninhibited joy, like that of a child immersed in their favorite game. His eyes, hidden behind the helmet, shone with a mischievous intensity.

"This is really fun!!"

(Neigh!!)

The beautiful silver armor that covered him now had golden embroideries snaking across its plates, and a resplendent golden cape waved with the wind, like a banner of pure energy. He was no longer just the Silver Knight; now a new form had been born, making its debut to the cacophony of destruction and chaos of its opponent, with the rising sun at its back, giving birth to the Knight of the Veil.

"More, more, and more! Let's keep going until we can't anymore!! Don't you agree?!"

(NEIGH!!!)

At his joyful declaration, it seemed even the pegasus shared his enthusiasm, accelerating its flight towards the chaos. The golden cape waved wildly, and the golden-edged sword shimmered with a dancing light.

"Here we go!!"

Instead of avoiding the rain of fire, the Knight of the Veil plunged directly into it, as if jumping into a pond on a hot day. There was no fear, only an overflowing euphoria. The gray flames enveloped him with greater intensity, now with an almost playful glow, as he cut through the storm. Every fragment of fire that touched him seemed to be absorbed, not with effort, but with astonishing naturalness, further fueling his golden aura.

The thousands of rays impacted him, but instead of stopping him, they dispersed into a symphony of golden and silver sparks. It was as if Dragnir's chaotic energy turned into a personal fireworks show for the Knight, propelling him even further towards his goal. His advance was carefree, almost mocking, as he performed all sorts of acrobatic movements in the air, spinning, rolling, and zigzagging to the tune of his own laughter. It was a battle melody, a frenzied game where Mireya's madness was unleashed, enjoying every second.

"Is that all you've got?!"

In the sky, the Knight of the Veil was a dance of light and amusement amidst Dragnir's storm. Every absorbed fire fragment, every dissolved ray, only intensified his glow. Dragnir, witnessing this scene, roared with incomprehensible fury.

"GRRRROOAAWWWW!!!"

The dragon absorbed the typhoon of energy it was in, combining it with its breath. From its jaws emerged an immense wave of destructive fire, a tide of chaos that rushed directly towards the Knight.

(ROAAAAAAARSH!!!) (KABOOOOMMM!!!)

"...Me and my big mouth, right...? But... That's the spirit!!"

The Knight of the Veil, unfazed, dodged the onslaught as if performing a dance, a clear laugh echoing from his armor. His movements were fluid, a choreography of frantic evasion as he glided through the air, maintaining distance from Dragnir and evading the incessant rain of destruction falling from the sky. The straw pegasus, under his control, was an extension of his playful will.

"You truly are a monster, ahahahahaha!!!"

However, Dragnir's offensive was overwhelming. The space narrowed until the Knight was cornered from all directions.

"Time to try something new!"

(Neigh!)

In a decisive instant, he jumped from the back of the straw pegasus into the air. And to Dragnir's astonishment, the Knight of the Veil was now capable of flying through the skies by himself, sustained by the golden light of his aura. The straw pegasus, its temporary form fulfilled, split into multiple small straw doves, which scattered to evade Dragnir's massive attack.

"Let's try this!"

Then, a cry full of energy, a voice that was both that of a knight and a mischievous child, resonated across the battlefield.

"Hurricane!!"

And with those words, the Knight of the Veil began to spin on himself like a whirlwind, unleashing a tornado of gray fire and golden light that began to expand. With each revolution, the tornado erased Dragnir's attacks, dissolving chaotic flames and rays into a mere echo. The energy spiral began to flash with the changing colors of an aurora, generating a beautiful physical melody that resonated across the entire battlefield, a symphony of power and emotion.

"♪♫♬ ♩♪♫ 𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♪♬ ♩♫ ♪..."

The melody vibrated with an air of curiosity and amusement, rising and falling like a whimsical idea, while the unusual note (𝅘𝅥𝅮) introduced a touch of surprise, or perhaps something unexpected, as if the Knight discovered something amusing or perhaps a crueler truth.

"...♫ ♪ ♪...♩...♬...♪..."

From there, the melody slowed down and the notes spaced out, almost as if sighing, lifting a weight off, while now only transmitting a melancholy of silent pain.

"...♩♫♬ ♩♫ ♪♫ 𝅘𝅥𝅮 ♬♫♪"

Suddenly, the melody changed to return to energy, transmitting a spark of life, but this time with a different resonance that evoked comedy, though with "something" more mixed in, adding a sense of underlying pain.

"...♪...♩...♪♬..."

Finally, it sounded like a combination of slow and reflective notes, followed by a small flourish, while tragedy and comedy united in a bittersweet resolution, leaving an echo of peace in the air.

All while the whirlwind of gray fire and golden light, the Knight of the Veil's own Hurricane, expanded unchecked, dancing to the melody of battle. It swallowed everything in its path, an insatiable vortex that finally crashed head-on into the immense figure of Dragnir.

"ROAAAAAAARRSH!!!"

(KABOOOOMMM!!!)

A cry of pain, as Dragnir had never experienced in its millennial existence, tore through the air. The force of the impact was devastating, making each of its scales vibrate with agony.

"Ahahahahaha! In this state, I can feel you very well!"

From the heart of the vortex, the joyful voice of the Knight of the Veil resonated, strangely clear amidst the chaos.

"GRRRR!!"

Suddenly, Dragnir felt a chilling sensation, as if being observed by an ancient serpent. A cry full of emotion joined the Knight's voice.

"Do you want to play too?! Echidna!!"

"GRRRRRROOOAAARRR!!!"

Instantly, giant serpents made of the same energy as the hurricane emerged from the whirlwind, with scales glowing with golden light and piercing eyes. They lunged at Dragnir, biting it ferociously and sending it with a brutal impact to the ground. Their immense, sharp fangs immobilized it against the shattered terrain. The hurricane, having served its purpose, began to contract and compress, reducing itself to a point of burning light in the Knight of the Veil's sword, which floated high in the sky. The very fabric of reality seemed to vibrate, unable to contain the immense energy concentrated in the golden blade.

Dragnir, sensing the imminent end, gathered all the remaining strength within it. With a roar of rage and desperation, it unleashed the most powerful blast of chaos of its entire existence, a breath that sought to erase everything in its path.

"RRRROOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR!!!"

(BBBOOOOOOOOUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!)

In the sky, the Knight of the Veil cried out with overflowing emotion.

"Go ahead!!"

Lowering his sword, he unleashed an immense wave of power that rivaled the dragon's. When both titanic forces collided, the impact was not only auditory; it generated space-time ruptures in reality itself. The Veil tore.

(WWWOOOOOOOOSH!!!) (CRACKLE-CRACKLE!!!)

Both roared, Dragnir with the fury of its final desperation, and the Knight with the unrestrained joy of battle, trying to win the clash of powers. The light of their attacks merged, creating an immense explosion that enveloped everything, a supernova of energy that rewrote the landscape and marked the climax of the struggle.

"ahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"

..... While a childish laugh resonated.
