The dark swamp fought back under the Dragon's control, desperately attempting to smother the inferno.
The heavy, viscous water was inherently hostile here, carrying the Shadow dragon's water dragon adjacent resistance to heat, surging upward to drown the flames just as it had drowned countless fiery threats before.
But the three supporting tamers refused to yield.
Ren, Luna, and Larissa kept the inferno alive by actively repelling the dark liquid that masqueraded as water. They controlled the surrounding shadows and moisture, pumping vast quantities of wind into the basin to push back the swamp and feed the roaring blaze, refusing to let a single ember fade until the gruesome work was finished.
Neither the corrupted mutants nor the guardian dragon managed to escape the catastrophic impact.
