The Spire.

[DragonMasterX]

Ryoji smirked, all of them appeared to be rattled in one way or another. He condescendingly looked down at Infini's crouching body, his smile widening as he digned himself to say: "Now you see who holds the true power. You are to surrender, or she will be the next one," the long-haired dragon laughed.

Infini's claw was clutching the floor. The mystically empowered stone suddenly broke for the first time. Mar's musclebound arm was popping veins of sheer vascular tension. Ryoji wasn't able to see it, but he lifted the other one, held the palm open, and there suddenly was a flash of white.

Glass-shattering sounds echoed in the aerie and Ryoji's eyes went wide. His strength failed him and Katt fell from his grasp back to the floor. The barrier around him had been torn. He was feeling pain, sheer, incomprehensive pain. His pupils thinned out as he looked at his right, where he had held Lacia before. A thin platinum-colored beam of light that had erupted from Infini's claw dissipated, and then he realized that his right arm, as well as a good portion of his right torso were gone, vaporized. He looked back at Infini, several mixed emotions filling his head as he saw the god slowly stand up. The Spire was vibrating, Infini let his arms hang limp, his face unable to be seen as it was covered by Mar's now messy white hair as he still stared at the generous dent he had made on the thick floor. Ryoji roared as the pain of his dismembering finally registered.

The roar was cut short, however, as Infini suddenly was in front of him, stealing Ryoji's air as a heavy hook slammed on his non-damaged abdomen, making him cough up even more blood than what was spurting out of his missing sections. Infini didn't let him catch his air back, and hammered his back with his left fist, forcing Ryoji to the rocky ground, his feed immediately stomping his head hard as the white dragon menacingly growled. Infini kept pressing his foot, Ryoji's head digging into the rocky ground as he growled in pain. The god said nothing, but withdrew his foot and then suddenly kicked Ryoji's grounded body, sending him crashing to the sane last pillar in the aerie.

Ryoji wasn't dead, but he wished he was. The dust cleared from the pillar's wreckage and Ryoji managed to sit up, weakly dragging his damaged body backwards, trying to get away from Infini, "Wh-whaa-aat...!" he tried asking, but he coughed more blood. The red fluid trickled from the rim of his lip down to his chin and dripped to the floor as he grit his fangs together, he was scared, but the humiliation was even greater, "You...! You beat me...?! NO!" he roared, Infini swiftly smacking the air, a telekinetic blow smacking Ryoji's head to the side, forcing it to crash onto the stone and shatter it. Ryoji groaned, covered in bruises, "Gah...! Ahh...!" he panted, "BEGONE!" he screamed, holding his good arm up to fire an energy-based projectile, but Infini growled. That growl immediately dissipated the energy that had been building at the front of Ryoji's paw. He felt helpless, looked at Katt and quickly reached to grab her, but a white foot claw stomped his arm down. Infini's golden eyes fixed on Ryoji, his cold stare simply spelling death to him.

Infini was a benevolent god. His main fixation was creation, and as a creator, he celebrated every new life. At the same time, he mourned every death. The cycle of life, he respected. His guardians and maidens were prohibited from harming creation, they were tasked with protecting it. One of his guardians' powers, had just been used to end the life of an innocent.

The Spire shook violently, Infini's aura was becoming overwhelmingly bigger and more powerful, the whole place seemed like it was being hit by an earthquake, its magnitude raising with every passing second. The dragon god however, right now, was not holding back.
