"The System suggests that the User create some time and maybe opportunity for the Grey Bear Squad to be successful."
"If I attack now, I won't guarantee that I can kill that terrifying mechanical abomination in one shot. Those Crystal Barriers are a pain in the ass!" Jin happened to say out loud by accident and Taris City General heard it and smirked.
"General Ana. Those Crystal Barriers are an obstacle to our Lord." Just this sentence was more than enough to relay the concern.
"Not sure if I can do much, my Lord. But I can give my best shot." The Angel of Fire said as she was blessed by her mages instantly for the power of flight. She spread her artificial wings and flew as fast as she could while using the inertia to slam at the path where Jin would most probably hit. The Fira Dragon saw a human threat coming and already shot out a fireball in her direction.
The only problem was that the fireball was extremely massive and it felt that it was weighted with crystal remnants within the sphere of flames as well.

The axe however had its trajectory adjusted and boosted by her mages who were right behind her as well, forcing it to zoom straight into the crystal barrier. At that point, Jin did not hesitate any further and blasted off as well. All he left was a huge cradle of broken road with its dust and debris being blown towards the Taris Mages who had been boosting his skills. There was even a secondary sonic boom that came after the first shock wave had been heard, and almost no one could see how Jin had flown up in less than a second.
He was faster than a plane, a missile, and definitely the speed of sound itself as he flew off. The Fira Dragon had already been preparing for that threat when it was hovering in mid air deflecting all those bombardments and changing itself to be a Crystal Dragon. If not for its transformation, the Fira Dragon would be flying around evading all the attacks.
But since it found how useful and strong its crystal barriers were, it decided to strengthen the crystal barriers by adding multiple layers over and over again, cross sectioning them so that they would be so tight there was no way the attacks would get to it.
Even the axe that Ana had thrown, had only broken 2 layers of the crystal barrier, a significant feat which even the Battle Airships' bombardment was unable to achieve, especially with the Fira Dragon's consistent regeneration.
Unfortunately, it did not expect Jin's attack to be this swift and could only believe in its crystal barriers. However, it had not known that the big fat seemingly dull lance was extremely effective against such barriers.
The Wall Breaker Lance.
As the name had suggested, it gave a significant bonus when crashing through walls and thus Jin had seen it in action before. So, he had an absolute fate that it would do just that for him.
"Eh?" Jin who was so focused on breaking the crystal barriers had no idea that the power he was holding was so overwhelming it penetrated through all the Crystal barriers in record time. The Fira Dragon was equally stunned and was only able to dodge a fatal attack by turning its body in time. "EHHHHHHHH?!!!!"
Its torso was partially destroyed and so was one of his wings and yet Jin was still flying upwards from the power he had accumulated. He honestly thought that the crystal barrier was sturdy enough to withstand the Wall Breaker Lance he never thought of a scenario where he would break through everything.
"Fuck Fuck Fuck!" Jin said to himself as he needed to either stop and charge through again or go one big round so that it could keep the momentum. Either way will waste time and the Fira Dragon was able to regenerate those barriers again.
And that's what the Fira Dragon thought as well until it realised that it was unable to initiate the regeneration. His wings and torso were still leaking from the loss of power and the crystal barriers were not regenerating back.

"HAHAHAH!" The entire Grey Bear was celebrating within their cores process even though all of them were physically offline temporarily to aid Page in the final push. The moment their Mechanoids rebooted and went online again, they moved away from each other, automatically unplugging their wires away.
They grabbed Page and shouted in joy for the most apparent thing that had happened. "We Did it! WE DID IT!!! YEAHHHHHH!"
The virus insertion into the System files was successful the moment Jin disrupted the Fira Dragon with his attack. That instantaneous moment where the Fira Dragon had to focus all of its processing capabilities to override the current modules that were running and focus on dodging.
That was the opportunity the Grey Bears were looking for as they supercharged the virus and sent it dashing straight to the core as if the millions of doors that were locked or closed had been open just for that millisecond for the virus to push through.
And because of that Page finally had access to the System Files and deleted the modules that governed regeneration through nanobots and the remnants of the Crystal Dragon inside its 'stomach'. When Jin and the others saw that the Fira Dragon was not able to perform any regeneration, he decided to go one big round to keep the momentum and head in for another strike.
"FIRE! FIRE EVERYTHING!" The Admiral of the Battle Airships cried at the top of his lungs and they did a simultaneous attack that continuously broke the dragon's barrier and rendered it immobile.
Aye, the end of near.
