From MC's Perspective:
Stacie's steps were quick but measured, retreating gracefully as her hands wove intricate patterns in the air, drawing on the deep reserves of her magical power.
With a flick of her wrist and a sharp incantation, a massive, ominous black flower materialized before her—it's dark petals pulsing with a sinister energy. Without hesitation, she thrust it forward, sending it spiraling toward her attacker with deadly precision.
The Zero Puppet, a construct of eerie perfection, reacted immediately. Its mechanical body jerked to the side, attempting to evade the oncoming attack. But as the black flower reached its peak, it burst open, releasing a thick cloud of inky black fog.
The atmosphere shifted in an instant. The once-clear land was now drenched in darkness, the fog curling and twisting like serpents in the air, seeking anything to devour.
