Boom!!
The sound did not fade. It echoed, rolling across the wasteland like a thunderclap that refused to die, bouncing off broken horizons and sinking into the hollow remains of a world long consumed.
Crashing through what looked like a mountain of corpses that had long since cornified into hardened chitin, the burning man burst forward, his body a blazing silhouette against a sky that no longer held light. The heap he tore through was no ordinary pile of flesh. It was layered, fused, and fossilized, a grotesque monument of creatures that had once lived, fought, and died only to become part of something far more disturbing.
Each step he took shattered limbs that had turned to brittle armor. Jagged fragments scattered like glass, scraping against his flames and hissing as they burned away into ash.
