Malverna raised her right hand. A black fireball formed in her palm.
The fireball was small, roughly the size of her hand, and it carried none of the overwhelming pressure the fire dragon had shown earlier.
Without much effort, she tossed it toward the charging fire dragon.
Seeing this, Thousand Faces burst into laughter. "How foolish!"
But in the next instant, his laughter froze.
The black flame he had dismissed collided with the massive fire dragon—and instead of being destroyed, it began to expand, devouring it.
Roar!
The fire dragon let out a thunderous roar that shook the surrounding air.
The black flame continued to consume its body, growing larger with every moment, until it completely swallowed the dragon whole.
Once the dragon vanished, the black flame disappeared as well.
Thousand Faces stood frozen in place, his face pale with fear and horror.
"H-How… is that possible!? What kind of black fire is that!?" he cried in panic.
