The city trembled under the weight of their battle.
Every clash between Vell and the Guild Leader destroyed another building, sending dust and debris raining down on the panicked streets below. People ran screaming as their shops and homes crumbled into ruin, and the city guards, realizing the futility of trying to maintain order, had abandoned their posts to focus on evacuation instead.
"Is this what you wanted?" the Guild Leader shouted, barely dodging another of Vell's devastating attacks. "To destroy everything we have built?"
Vell's laughter echoed through the ruins, a cold and unsettling sound. "Destroy? No, no, this is not destruction." He appeared behind the Guild Leader in a flicker of movement, that terrible, predatory smile still fixed on his face. "This is renovation."
