The battlefield was drenched in cosmic energy, the air thick with tension. Ghost and Scarpent, two formidable warriors, stood side by side, their eyes locked onto the terrifying figure of Aurora Yoichi. His presence alone sent chills down their spines. But what truly froze them in place—what made even the bravest warriors tremble—was the summoning that was about to unfold.
Aurora's golden eyes gleamed with a cruel, almost divine amusement. He raised his hand, and the very fabric of reality trembled. The sky darkened, stars flickered out, and an ominous crimson vortex tore through existence.
🔥 "Come forth," Aurora commanded, his voice carrying the weight of destruction.
From the swirling abyss, a monstrous entity emerged. A beast unlike anything seen before. It had serpentine tendrils of molten obsidian, a skeletal body wreathed in spectral flames, and hollow eyes that devoured all light. Its roar was not just a sound—it was a death sentence.
Ghost took a step back, gripping his weapon. "This… this isn't just any summon…" he muttered, fear creeping into his voice.
Scarpent clenched his fists, trying to stand his ground. "We fight or we die. No other choice."
But before they could act—before they could even breathe—the beast moved.
⚡ SLASH! ⚡
A single motion. One brutal, effortless strike.
Ghost's body froze mid-air—then, in an instant, his form split apart. His very soul was torn from his flesh before he could even scream.
Scarpent barely had time to react before the beast's tendrils wrapped around him, tightening like a vice. He struggled, his eyes wide with agony. A sickening crunch. A last, choked gasp. Then silence. His lifeless body hit the ground.
☠️ Both warriors—erased from existence.
Aurora Yoichi watched the slaughter unfold, unfazed. His lips curled into a smirk, and then, in a cold, almost amused tone, he scoffed:
"Tch… the bastard killed 'em. Shit."
As the dust settled, the beast let out a low growl, awaiting further orders. Aurora merely tilted his head, intrigued.
"Maybe I should summon another one..."
