[ If not for the earth-shattering descent into the ground, Ozymandias was prepared to send another vertical stripe of damaging light starting from his head, then going down the length of the dragon's body. However, the fact that the weight of the beast upon them would mostly kill even him, Ozymandias instantly turns on his heel and runs in the opposite direction. The dark intensity of dragon's shadow increases upon the pair, the certainty of their shared horror clear.
Despite the fact that Ozymandias is a being with a set of self-serving morals that is very likely to break his promise as long as the situation suits him, there is nothing immediate to be gained by leaving Nami in the dust. With no guarantee that she will be able to run away in time, his hand moves forward to firmly latch onto her upper arm. Unless she avoids his overture and prefers to make a timely run of her own, Ozymandias will begin to forcefully drag her in the direction of his choosing.
When they are in the clear, he rubs debris from his eye and ventures back to examine the dragon's health. The reptilian creatures' stare carries an undertone of sorrow against the base notes of anger, muted only by the damage taken by the pair. But if his heart would deign to bleed for anyone, it would not be such a force of wanton destruction.
He unleashes another attack, aimed at the weak point of the dragon's head, immediately seizing this moment of opportunity to more permanently decease their enemy.
After the ringing sound that his magic brings, the low rasping of a beast struggling, comes silence. If Nami was to pay close attention to detail, she would realize that Ozymandias is feeling a bit tired, having passed his newly enforced boundaries. Eyes twitching, muscles relaxing as his body feels distinctly heavier, he glances from the dragon, and back towards the girl, fighting against his newly tired state with confident bluster. ]
sorry for the wait!
