Sulthar finally had an answer as to what might have happened to his earlier attack. Sending another shockwave of burning wind and raw force by flapping his wings, Sulthar started rising up, going higher and higher into the air.
Suddenly, Damian felt a weird wave of mana spreading in a circle along with the shockwave, this one originating from the giant shrine. It did no damage and was barely even noticeable — if Damian's mana sense wasn't as sensitive as it was, he wouldn't have even sensed it. That was weird, but since it did no damage, Damian ignored it and focused back on Sulthar.
For a second, Damian thought the guy was coming straight at him. Storing back the thin sword, Damian stood ready with the bigger sword pointed forward, held with two hands. But the Dragon King did not change his trajectory and just kept rising higher and higher — something was up. Damian made another wormhole and waygate spell, adding a thick wall of air shield for extra defense.
