The valley shimmered under the fading twilight, wind crawling low through the grass, brushing over jagged stone outcrops like a warning.
Shadows stretched long—but were torn moments later as Rexion descended from above, wings spread like banners of light and runes, bloodscript symbols burning faintly across his scales.
The Luminarch Rune-Star Crimson Tyrant roared as he landed, his presence igniting the valley floor in starlit pulses. Around him, five King-rank monsters emerged from hidden alcoves and crevices—drawn to him like beasts summoned by fate.
A Gloomshade Kraken Elk, Cryoquartz Basilisk, Thunderhowl Ironmaw, Skyrune Marabou Beast, and Viridius Wyrmstag gathered—each of them brutal in power, honed by nature and battle.
