The Spire.

[DragonMasterX]

As a last ditch effort, Ryoji suddenly made use of his own strength to topple Infini over, the odds of success probably weren't high, but it was his only chance with a quarter of his body gone and his other arm pinned down. His legs grabbed around Infini's right one. Both of them were pinned by each other now, the only difference was that Infini's arms were free.

Time stopped around them again, Infini was well aware now however. Ryoji pulled with his lower body, attempting to lift Infini off-ground, Infini however looked back and his tail dug onto Ryoji's left leg, suddenly piercing through it. A roar of pain could be heard, but as Infini looked back at Ryoji he met Katt's face, his eyes going wide.

The trap had worked, Infini had been lost into such a rage and had made such a huge goal of making him suffer that Ryoji was able to take the chance to retake the hostage. With her so near his body, he would have no issue now. Infini was like a paralyzed statue all of a sudden, the rage fading and The Spire stopped vibrating. It was as if the sight of an innocent life being subjected to peril by his own guardian was all he needed to become tame, or at least, completely aware of the consequences, more so than ever now that Lacia's death haunted his memories, the blood was on his claws.

Ryoji made no iteration as time went back to normal around them, just bobbed his head around, fangs clenched. Infini's tail withdrew from Ryoji's bloody leg and started stepping backwards as Ryoji levitated up. His wounded form was incapable of walking, so he was naturally thankful for his 'borrowed' ability of telekinesis from Kohryu. His wings beat once, he wasn't bragging this time. He just all of a sudden lifted Katt in the air, making Infini take a step forwards this time. Mortals were not easy to predict, but he would not allow Ryoji to claim another life. Infini rushed forwards, but Ryoji did the unexpected to him: Hurled Katt his way. Infini caught the tigress in his arms, quickly scanning her for any superficial wounds.

With this small amount of time, Ryoji suddenly appeared above Dorothy, using his good arm to levitate her body towards his claw, holding her tightly to his body as he looked up at the magical barrier surrounding the island that Vook Kyrian had created. He nodded to the sky, as if there was someone in the heavens on standby for commands.

The barrier shattered violently at the top, Ryoji didn't even have to read any spell, he levitated out of it just as quickly as he had disappeared from Infini's sight.

The white dragon god looked up with a growl. Mere seconds he had to use to heal Katt back up to shape, Ryoji had used to escape. "Thou shalt not escape! Thou can not escape!" he solemnly declared, his bruised form looking past beat up. It was uncertain with Infini's powers, but Mar's body probably wasn't going to last any aerial pursuit much less any new all-out fight.

"Die," Ryoji's voice came from up above, as if it was some message of divine judgement. The heavens darkened more than ever, and all of a sudden lighting flashed. A now loose ray of electricity crashed in the middle of The Spire, shattering the balance of the aerie, thunder roaring mightly as a second flash blinded everyone except Infini, who saw Ryoji flying off with his other hostage.

The Spire was hit by a very violent earthquake all of a sudden, the aerie began edging to the sides, losing it's center as the rocks were not regenerating. It began falling apart.
