Night covered the camp of the Eclipse Alliance. A small campfire burned at the center of a circle of warriors.
At the edge of the camp stood Arken, gazing at the dark sky that felt different from usual.
The night wind carried a strange aura.
Behind him, soft footsteps approached.
It was Lunaria.
"That aura… it's getting stronger," she said quietly.
Arken did not turn around.
"I feel it too."
A few meters away, the allied team members were gathered.
The Storm Knight, Kael Draven, was checking his sword, which crackled with lightning energy.
The Flame Archer, Mira Solen, was sharpening her arrows.
Meanwhile, the old mage Tharos opened an ancient spellbook.
Suddenly—
Lunaria grabbed her head.
"Ah…!"
Arken immediately turned.
"What do you see?"
Lunaria's eyes shone with silver light.
"The Eclipse Vision…"
Everyone immediately focused on her.
"I see… a city burning…"
"The sky is filled with Void monsters…"
Her voice began to tremble.
"And in the middle of it… there is a massive creature with wings of shadow."
Tharos immediately stood up.
"That's impossible…"
Kael frowned.
"A winged creature?"
Lunaria slowly opened her eyes.
"It's one of the Void Generals…"
The name of the creature appeared in her mind.
"Drakthar."
The atmosphere froze instantly.
Arken gripped his sword tighter.
"Where?"
Lunaria pointed to the north.
"A city called Eldoria."
Arken immediately turned toward his horse.
"We leave now."
Kael smiled slightly.
"Our first great battle, huh?"
Mira raised her bow.
"I've been waiting."
Tharos closed his book.
"If that really is Drakthar… that city doesn't have much time."
Arken mounted his horse and looked at his team.
"If we're too late…"
"Thousands will die."
The night wind blew stronger.
In the distance…
The sky suddenly turned dark purple.
The roar of monsters echoed through the forest.
And above the city of Eldoria…
A gigantic creature with shadow wings opened its eyes.
It was Drakthar.
A great battle was about to begin.
Arken looked toward the sky.
"Hold on… Eldoria."
"We're coming."
