Jax caught Astra before she could fall.
The last fragments of the hidden dimension drifted around them like countless stars dissolving into the ocean.
Entire districts of the abandoned city were breaking apart into streams of silver mana, their foundations no longer supported now that the dimensional core had been destroyed.
Astra's breathing was uneven while she was in Jax's arms, blood stained portions of her white and sapphire clothing where wounds from her dragon form had carried over after transforming back.
Even so, she looked up at him with a tired smile as she saw all the chaos going on around the, "You really... destroyed it."
Jax smiled as he heard that, a confident tone lacing his voice as he spoke, "I said I would. The Demon King always fulfills his promises, what use is my word if I don't?"
Hearing that, Astra laughed softly before wincing, "Ow, "
"Try not to do that again, stay still and recover," Jax muttered as he saw her in pain.
