Brone raced after the dragon... or more like hobbled as fast as he could with his shorter dwarven legs as he watched Aiolia attempt to strike Kaito but was intercepted by Yuurei. It was a moment the dwarf was excited about, he had watched the angelic figure strike at the dragon, dealing what seem to be a great blow, but the exchange didn't stop the dragon, the large beast simply batted Yuurei away with a powerful strike and still continued forward after Kaito. Brone looked over to the impacted area where his friend had fallen, he had been concerned at first, but when he saw Yuurei raise from the debris, his worry lessen, but only for a fraction, seeing the half-elf cough up blood was enough concern to show that this dragon had great power, possibly enough to destroy this region easily.
The dwarf, by this point, couldn't hold his Frenzy spell, nor his Frost Action spell, they were draining his mana and if he wasn't striking at the beast, then it would be a waste; the cyan aura that swirled around him faded as well as the layer of ice as he released the spells while he continued to run after the large beast. When Aiolia flew higher, the beat of his wings kicked up enough debris to cover the dwarf in dirt and dust. When the dust settled, Brone looked up to see a blast of lighting surge where Kaito was, "Damn it! Don't die on me, Kaito!" he called. Within the next moment, the energy blast dissipated and from the dwarf's point of view, he could see the dragon was jerking about, it was another second that passed that he could see Kaito circling about the beast like an annoying gnat, cutting him with the sword he had.
"Good one" Brone smirked as he noticed Aiolia's right wing gave out, he realized Kaito had struck at the base of the wing, a similar tactic to when the dwarf had fought Astarot along side Yuurei, because of the ability to fly, it was difficult to fight the red dragon, so whenever Brone had the chance, he would strike the base of one of the wings, with how hard the scales were, he had to repeatedly strike the same spot until finally the wing gave out, giving both him and Yuurei the advantage which led to their victory.
Now Aiolia began to plummet, so this was Brone's chance. He quickly ran towards the area where he anticipated the dragon would hit the ground. After the large beast hit the ground, kicking up enough debris to slightly obscure the nearing dwarf, Aiolia sent a powerful blast towards Kaito, to which the spacial mage had sent into another void.
"Annoying gnat!" Aiolia cursed. Suddenly something small burst forth from beneath the cloud of dirt; Brone had his golden axe raised, ready to strike at the dragon, "Your little toy is simply an irritation" he mocked as he opened his maw, readying another blast attack, knowing the dwarf didn't have any form of spacial magic to deflect it.
"How's about this toy!?" Brone yelled as the magic within the axe activated, the size of the weapon doubled, then quickly doubled again, surprising the dragon. The giant battleaxe slammed into the neck of the dragon, jerking the head back and causing the energy blast to shoot off into the sky, temporarily parting a portion of the gray clouds before the sky closed up again, "Ha! How's that for a toy!?" Brone laughed as the golden axe returned to it's normal size.
Aiolia's clawed hand slightly touched the red scar that now lined his neck, the scales there had been shattered and the surface of his skin was cut, even though it was superficial, a bit of blood began to slowly escape the wound. A vein was not visible on the dragon's temple. As a reply to Brone's question, he slammed his tail down upon the dwarf. The force of the strike was powerful enough to not only badly damage Brone's golden armor, but crack the ground beneath him. "Vile filth, seems like you have thorns" Aiolia raised his tail, feeling a stinging pain as if he had been pricked by a powerful weapon. He looked down into the crater where the dwarf laid dazed. He figured the armor he wore was somehow magically harming him whenever he physically struck him.
Regardless, the dragon turned his head to face Yuurei. He figured he needed to quickly attack each individual insect before they could sneak up on him. His eyes lit up as he began surging with power, the clouds above emitted lightning.
