The sky was covered in smoke and fire. Giant dragon wings flapped above the kingdom, their screeches mixing with the sounds of battle and magic.
On the floating stepping stones made by wind and earth mages, Min Yoon Ji of the Black Lotus Guild ran fast, her long coat flowing behind her, and her black scythe glowing with dark energy. She leapt high into the air, then spun her scythe once, aiming it toward a group of dragons circling above the castle walls.
With a calm voice, she whispered, "Dark Nova."
A small black orb formed at the tip of her blade, growing brighter, darker—then she launched it.
"IT'S DARK NOVA! TAKE COVER!" someone shouted from below, and many fighters, even other guild members, started backing away fast.
The orb flew straight into the belly of a green dragon, flying close to two others.
A half-second passed. Then—
BOOOOM!
