The dragon's roar was a symphony of fury and destruction, echoing across the forest like the sound of a world breaking apart. With a single mighty surge, it unleashed its infernal breath, an unending torrent of black fire that burned hotter than the core of a sun. The forest transformed into an apocalyptic inferno as trees, earth, and fog beasts alike were swallowed by the searing flames.
The fog beasts, spectral forms made of shadow and mist, stood no chance. They writhed and screamed as they evaporated into nothingness, their ghostly shapes dissipating like smoke caught in a storm. The heat was unbearable, forcing Alisha to stagger back, her arm raised to shield her face. She felt the blistering air clawing at her skin, the sheer force of the dragon's might threatening to consume everything in its wake.
