The entire graveyard pulsed.
A violent wave of energy spread through the domain, immediately tearing apart the dense cloud of dust and shattered earth that had swallowed the battlefield. Gravestones that had survived the initial impact toppled from the force, while chunks of frozen ground were thrown aside as the haze was forcibly dispersed. Even the frozen landscape beneath their feet seemed to tremble, cracks racing across the ground in every direction as though the domain itself had felt the impact.
And there stood Saladis.
His purple armor remained intact.
For a moment, he didn't move. Then the space around him began to distort as something massive started radiating from within his armor. A purple aura poured out in thick waves, enveloping his body and spreading across the ruined graveyard. It wasn't merely energy leaking from him; it felt dense, oppressive, almost alive, with every pulse causing the air to shudder around his frame.
The aura grew stronger.
