But…
The ones who truly stole the spotlight in this brutal war—the ones who were the most eye-catching, the most terrifying—weren't the armies clashing on either side.
No.
It was the four Hero Units locked in a savage, no-holds-barred battle at the heart of the battlefield.
On one side—
A blazing Firebird Hero, wings wreathed in searing flame.
On the other—
Two hulking Venomspike Manticores, their bodies a deep, venomous purple…
And a monstrous Dark Hydra, its scales black as night.
BOOM!
A torrent of hellfire exploded across the battlefield, slamming into one of the Venomspike Manticores with devastating force. The beast was blasted out of the sky, crashing into the scorched earth below and kicking up a storm of dust and debris. The ground trembled from the impact.
But the Manticore didn't flinch.
Not even a little.
Instead, it rose again—slowly, deliberately—and let out a crazed, guttural laugh, like a beast that had tasted blood and wanted more.
