Leon and Roselia faced the incoming horde, their eyes sharp and unwavering. Leon raised his staff, beginning to chant the incantation for the first-tier Destruction spell he had recently unlocked.
At his current tier, he could only access Tier 1 Destruction spells, but even those packed considerable power. His chant was short, befitting a lower-tier spell, and in moments, it was complete.
"Blast Away, Bursting Fireball!" Leon commanded, pointing at the approaching horde.
A grayish-black fireball materialized in his hand—not the usual orange-red hue of a standard fireball. This one radiated a sinister energy, brimming with destructive force. The fireball shot forward with incredible speed, a streak of dark flames tearing through the air.
As soon as it reached the first zombie, it detonated in a fiery explosion, engulfing a 10-meter radius. The blast incinerated everything in its path, leaving nothing but ashes and scorched ground.
