As the monster destroys it in retaliation for getting shot, Ganelon pulls Clay's sword out from the dragon head, causing it to explode when it tries to breathe fire.

The collision kills Dinantra, and Saga is victorious...well, after they survive the Maxithon going downriver as a result of the pillars being destroyed.
