EXT. MOUNTAIN PEAK — NIGHT
The Sky Tyrant Dragon stands silhouetted against a storm — wings spread, fire and lightning spiraling around its massive form.
Guild Master's voice (over comms):
All units… this is our last chance. Hunters… today, we kill a god.
WIDE SHOT — Hundreds of Hunters in full battle gear assemble at the mountain base, weapons gleaming under stormlight.
Kai (smirking at Xavier):
Let's make history, rookie.
Act 1 — The Battle Begins
The Hunter Army surges up the mountain.
The Dragon roars — a shockwave of pure force sends frontliners tumbling back, stone shattering beneath their feet.
Cloaked Hunter materializes at the dragon's side — twin scythes flashing, cutting through ranks in a blur.
Kai and an elite squad intercept, locking him in a deadly duel, keeping the path clear for Xavier.
Xavier sprints forward, Beast Sense zeroing in on the dragon's colossal mana core like a beacon.
Act 2 — Phase One: Army vs. Dragon
HUNTER ARMY ASSAULT —
— Magic cannons thunder.
— Explosive arrows streak through the sky.
— Lightning-charged spears pierce the storm.
The Dragon's Counter — molten fire breath sweeps across squads, vaporizing steel and stone alike.
Xavier: Volt Breaker Overdrive! — he races straight up the dragon's wing, carving glowing gashes in its scales to expose weak points for the army's follow-up strikes.
Over the chaos, Cloaked Hunter's voice:
You can't kill it without killing me!
Act 3 — Phase Two: Duel in the Sky
The dragon launches into the clouds, hurling fire and lightning across the battlefield below.
Xavier: Apex Hunter Mode — engage! — his aura ignites, and he leaps between Hunter airships, closing in on the beast mid-flight.
Cloaked Hunter intercepts him — the two clash above the storm, each strike lighting the clouds with bursts of gold and crimson energy.
Kai dives in, locking weapons with the Cloaked Hunter and forcing an opening for Xavier to break past toward the dragon's head.
Act 4 — The Breakthrough
Through the dragon's cracked chest plates, the mana core pulses like a blinding heart of fire.
Xavier (broadcasting over comms):
AIM FOR THE CORE — NOW!
A synchronized volley from every Hunter slams into the chest — cracks spread, golden light spilling out in jagged beams.
The dragon screams, swatting dozens of Hunters from the sky with a single wingbeat.
Xavier grips his blade — every ounce of Apex Hunter Mode focusing into the edge, sparks and golden arcs coiling around him.
Act 5 — The Final Blow
Hunter Technique: Apex Fang Sever — LIMIT BREAK!
Lightning and golden energy spiral together, forming a vortex around his blade.
Xavier dives straight toward the core.
TIME SLOWS — quick flashes of every fight, every comrade, every near-death moment.
SLASH! — His strike pierces the core.
The dragon's roar shakes the heavens before its body erupts into a storm of mana light.
The shockwave clears the clouds — revealing the first rays of dawn over the battlefield.
Act 6 — Victory & Rank Up
HUD:
LEVEL UP! 20 → 25
LIMIT BREAK UNLOCKED — Temporarily surpasses level cap for extreme power.
Kai (grinning, out of breath):
Rookie… you just beat a god.
Xavier (sheathing his sword):
Then I guess I'll need a bigger hunt next time.
Ending Scene — Season 1 Tease
EXT. DISTANT CLIFF — DAWN
