The Smile Before the Darkness
The sky above Fantom City became the stage for a battle that surpassed human understanding.
The moment Videl and Lane drew the two undead dragons away from the city, the pressure crushing the defenders instantly eased. The dragons no longer cared about the countless soldiers below. Their blazing green eyes were fixed solely on the two women before them.
A deep, thunderous roar shook the heavens.
One undead dragon swept its enormous skeletal tail toward Videl with enough force to split a mountain.
Videl didn't retreat.
She stepped forward in midair.
Her Long sword traced a brilliant arc of golden light.
CLANG!
The collision echoed across the battlefield like a ringing bell.
A shockwave erupted in every direction, scattering dark clouds and sending violent winds sweeping across the plains.
Far below, both humans and undead alike were thrown off their feet.
