Drake engaged in the final battle with the Dark Dragon. The Dark Dragon was incredibly powerful, and Drake was nearly defeated. But at the crucial moment, Ember burned all its power and merged with Drake. Drake felt unprecedented power and released "Dragon Flame Slash," striking the Dark Dragon's heart. The Dark Dragon let out a final wail and turned to black ash.
The battle ended, and Drake became a true Dragon Guardian. Elder Dragon awarded him the Dragon Heart Medal—the dragon race's highest honor. Though Ember had consumed much power, it slowly recovered. Drake stood before the Dragon Sanctuary and solemnly swore: "I will guard the dragon race with my life and protect the peace of this land." All dragons cheered for him. A new legend had begun.
