A thousand ravens engulfed the bloodthirsty Marden in a storm of dark feathers and sharp talons, dragging him through the night sky.
Then, with a thunderous boom that echoed across the ravaged city, the murder of ravens slammed him into the earth far away from the retreating Acadian Magi.
Instantly, a large crater was formed somewhere along the edges of the Northern Quarter. This impact was far bigger and more devastating than any of the ones before. In an instant, the surrounding crumbled buildings were reduced to dust.
The ravens merged back together into the form of the Headmaster of Saratoga. And when the dust settled, a terrifying scene came into view.
Blackwood's silver longsword was driven clean through Marden's chest, who was lying on the ground in a miserable manner. Yet, at the same time, Marden's poisoned black blade had found its mark as well… buried deep in Blackwood's chest.
