A Mysterious Blue Figure

Slowly, Second raised his hand. His three fingers extended; forefinger, middle, and ring, the rest curled into his palm.

A deep hum resonated through the air. 

The sky darkened. 

Energy crackled at his fingertips.

It was a burning blue light, seething, fusing, forming a singular, absolute point.

His eyes, cold and distant, were locked onto Draven and Naisha.

"How were you able to lift the curse?"

But then he added. "No, it doesn't matter. You're still lowly Verdants. DIE."

A beam of pure annihilation erupted from his palm.

A torrent of destructive force surged forward, devouring everything in its path. 

"Deka!" Draven's voice reached Deka.

Deka didn't hesitate. He understood immediately.

[Indomitable Wall!]

The earth shook. 

A massive, impenetrable barrier burst forth.
