Atop the massive black dragon, Rein stood with several blurry figures cloaked in darkness. The air around them twisted, carrying a heavy and suffocating pressure. One of the figures stepped forward, his movements slow and deliberate. A wicked smile curled across his face as his voice echoed over the trembling Colosseum.
"You didn't expect this, did you?" he said, his tone filled with mockery. "Even if you all somehow manage to win today, the entire Capital of Heinz will be flattened into dust."
He paused, his eyes glinting under the hood. "And if it isn't," he continued with a cold grin, "we'll make sure it happens."
As soon as his words ended, explosions erupted across the city.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The deafening sounds shook the ground, and pillars of fire shot up into the sky. The earth quaked violently as buildings crumbled in the distance. Screams filled the air while the sky itself seemed to burn red.
