Inside the magnificent cave dome that served as the heart of the Crystal Scale tribe, an eerie silence followed the chaos that had just unfolded. The once-pervading black smoke that had shrouded the area began to disperse, unveiling the devastation left behind by the explosive events that had transpired. The cave's rugged walls bore scars from the powerful detonations, each one a testament to the fierce battle that had taken place. What was most astonishing, however, was the complete absence of the fallen lamias. Not a single trace of their once-proud race remained. Instead, they had been utterly consumed by the insidious corrosion effect of the black smoke.
Amidst the aftermath of this calamity stood Gideon, an enigmatic figure whose actions had led to this cataclysmic event. His sharp eyes remained locked on Valentina, his lips curved into a sly, victorious smirk.
*Lamia: Level 70.*
