He let out a quick sigh and shifted into an active stance, his body tensing as he prepared himself.

A resounding explosion echoed through the region. The tip of the mountain he had stood on moments ago shattered apart, fragments of stone and debris crumbling violently toward the ground below.
Marlon paid no attention to the destruction behind him as he caught sight of several identical dark magical attacks flaring into existence and surging in his direction.
