Echo stood amidst the remnants of the battlefield, breathing heavily. His body, worn and battered, trembled under the immense strain of his newly unlocked power.

The Harbinger had been defeated, yes, but the dark army rising from the shadows was still out there, waiting. The battle was far from over.
