With a gleeful roar Isaac lunged towards the nearest granite elemental, the speed of his movement accelerated by a flap of his large draconic wings. The golem futilely brought up an arm to intercept the dragonman's claws, ending in its limb shattering into dust.
Tripping the golem with his tail, the silver scaled dragon plunged it's claws into the elemental's chest, tearing it's core free. The shimmering heart of the golem was promptly swallowed by him, a moan escaping his maw as he digested and converted the corrupt essence into fuel, the elemental's now vacant body crumbling away into granite dust.
The two remaining golems and the demon elemental remained unflinching, although the latter appeared to take a depraved interest in the amount of savagery the paladin's ally had displayed in it's consumption of the granite core.
Golden eyes alight in feral rage, Isaac's primal gaze shot to the remaining corrupted entities in joy, locking with the empty eyes of the demon. The golems, heeded by their desire to protect their master, all walked towards him in loose swaying gaits, their vague maws open, purple crystals beginning to break through the granite serving as their makeshift 'skin.'
In the throes of blinded anger, Isaac leaped onto the granite that drew closest to him, his fangs biting violently into the elemental's glowing chest. Granite hands grabbed his jagged horns in an attempt to halt him, yet all it earned was the dragon's own hands plunging into its sides, bodies pressed together as the scion hugged the golem to himself.
The violet energy and glowing crystals grew dull as their energy seeped into the claw at his torso, the dragonman's arms bulging with strength as corrupted essence flooded them with such strength he easily rendered the next and final golem a pile of rubble with a few well-placed punches.
With a depraved sigh, Isaac turned from the granite remains to meet the dark gaze of the demonic elemental, the violet energy beneath it's armor spasming subtly as Ilvir's naked form writhed beneath, his body serving as a base alongside the demon statue.
The demonic elemental cocked a sly grin, elemental claws drifting to caress its stomach mockingly, the Ilvir's muffled moans and squirming within suddenly spiking in volume and intensity as the entire demon's body began to shake with sickening growls and squelches.
Isaac's eyes narrowed in fury, very well understanding the depraved elemental's implications.
With a flap of his wings the dragonman soared skyward into the air of the circular chamber, the space high and wide enough to where he could escape from the range of the demon's oversized battleaxe, while still being able to dive down to give it hell.
He cursed angrily to himself however, as he realized his time was limited lest Ilvir be fully digested and converted into the demon's new vessel. The dagger spun firmly as he aimed it towards the elemental.
Flying nearing the side of the chamber, Isaac placed his feet against the wall, time slowing as he flew towards the demon with a lunge and flap of his mighty wings.
The demon's smile twisted into a wicked scowl as the dragonman barreled towards him, axe arm pulling back.
With a roar Isaac dove into the demon, the claws of his feet digging into the elemental's sides, before he plunged the dagger into its unprotected shoulder. The demon did not flinch at his actions, however, as the blade of the axe slashed into one of the dragon's wings.
The pair let out deafening roars, Isaac thrown off accompanied by a trail of crimson blood, the chromatic scales of his wing torn apart. The demon stumbled, desperately attempting to tear the rose dagger from its shoulder with a snarl. No matter how hard it pulled however, the dagger would not be torn free; the corruption absorbing abilities in full effect as the black jewel began to shimmer and glow.
The axe clattered against the floor useless, the armored demon staggering to its knees as it was continuously absorbed into the rose dagger, Ilvir's moans beginning to overpower it's angered cries. It had gained such power, only for it to be wrenched away so quickly.
With a final glow the dagger finished it's absorption of the demonic spirit, clattering to the floor alongside the axe.
Ilvir moaned helplessly within, left trapped within the demon's now empty body, one that he could not control. He rasped for air as large claws tore open the front of the body's chestplate, staggering free and into the scaled arms of Isaac.
He retched up a foul purple substance, coating the dragon's black scaled chest in what was most likely the demon's essence, the same violet sludge leaking from his now gaping hole.
The human paladin gasped as the dragon suddenly toppled over, shallow breaths escaping it's open maw.
Dim violet eyes drifted to the dragon's torn wing, gasping as a steady stream of blood leaked from it. Alongside this, it appeared the demon's axe had also torn quite a bit of muscle on his shoulder, unfelt through his primal rage.
"Shit."
He immediately rolled off the dragon's chest, ignoring the chills that wracked his slime-coated body as he ran to examine his savior's injury. Dread filled his face, the silver scales around the wounds appearing dull, almost grey even.
Having no idea what to do, Ilvir could only kneel and clasp his hands together, praying for a form of miracle. He had been dirtied more than once, tempted by the corruption once and then almost used as a vessel for a demon. His draconic savior had suffered instead of him in both occasions, backstabbed and now injured.
Yet the dragon had allowed him to live, he had even paused his quest of seeking the source to take him back to the surface.
Such nobility could be compared to that of the High Paladins.
Ilvir's prayers were interrupted as footsteps rang out from above, the man's violet gaze shooting upwards to the large gaping void in the dome-like chambers ceiling.
"Who goes there?!" He called, gaze fixated as a vague shadow appeared up above.
He rose to his feet with a gasp as the silhouette leaped from the ledge, landing into the chamber with a grunt.
Ilvir swallowed nervously, his eyes widening as they locked with the gaze of...
