  The colossal creature, born from the depths of the underworld and darkness, let out a bone-chilling roar eg through the trees and sending waves of shivers through all who heard it. Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle felt the oppressive force of the creature’s presehe forest itself seemed to tremble in respoo the creature’s call, as if aowledging its dominan this otherworldly enter.

  Risebelle spoke with curiousity.. “I’ve never seen magic like that before. What did that person in the dark just do? And what is that creature?”

  The person in the dark stepped forward, his crimson eyes locked onto Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle.

  “What you just witnessed is a form of summoning magic,” he began, his words measured and deliberate. “It is a powerful and a art that allows a mage to call forth beings from other realms, such as the underworld. That creature you see before you is known as the Abyssal Shadon, a fearsome entity bound to the darkest depths of the underworld. It is my stro Summon!”

  He tinued, “The ritual to summon such a creature requires precise intations, a signifit sacrifice, and a deep e to the darkness. The Abyssal Shadon is not a mere creation; it is a living, a being with its own will and desires. It is bound to the mage who summo, and it will follow their ands. I am going to protect the maractors and ehe Academy of Magic’s success. The forest’s mana is essential for oals, and we will not allow ao interfere. Now! Abyssal Shadon, Kill them!”

  The Abyssal Shadon responded with a terrifying dispy of power. It reared ba its massive hind legs, its obsidian body radiating an aura of darkness. Its crimson eyes locked onto Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle with malevolent i.

  The dragon’s maw opened wide, and from its gaping jaws, a beam of pure, unbridled darkness surged forth. The dark energy hrough the air with incredible speed, cutting through the mystical forest like a shadowy bde.

  Runebelle summoned her pilrs in a desperate attempt to defend against the oning attack. The pilrs formed a protective barrier in front of the sisters, but the power of the Abyssal Shadon’s dark beam was overwhelming. The beam collided with the pilrs, shattering them like fragile gss, and tis deadly trajectory.

  Risebelle, with quick reflexes, pulled both Roselle and Runebelle out of the beam’s path just in the nick of time. However, the dark energy grazed Risebelle’s side, leaving a searing, shadowy mark and elig a pained gasp from her.

  The forest around them was scorched by the dark beam’s passage, and the air was heavy with the oppressive presence of the Abyssal Shadon. Roselle’s ed gaze fell upon Risebelle’s injury, her eyes widened in arm. The wound, though caused by a grazing blow, seemed more severe than expected. Risebelle’s face torted with pain as she struggled to hold her side.

  “Risebelle!” Roselle excimed, “That wound looks bad!”

  Risebelle, still in shock from the attack, attempted to reassure her younger sister. “It’s... it’s not as bad as it looks, Roselle. We o focus otle at hand.”

  Roselle was ready to take a. She dashed frowling with fire in her eyes.

  “Roselle, wait! We o assess the situation and pn our approach carefull--”

  But Roselle, didn’t heed her sister’s words. She ran off, and raised her on-like on and fired a barrage of lightning-infused shots at the Abyssal Shadon. The shots impacted the creature’s ebony scales, creating sparks and small bursts of dark energy upon tact.

  While the damage inflicted by Roselle’s attacks was limited, it did draw the attention of the Abyssal Shadon. The creature let out a menag growl, its crimson eyes narrowing with hostility.

  The Abyssal Shadoed with surprising agility, its massive body swooping down toward Roselle with deadly i. Its wings beat with incredible force, propelling it through the air like a living storm.

  As the creature closed in on Roselle, its maw opened wide, ready to unleash another devastating attack; however, Risebelle was quick to respond, her on-like on bzing with rapid-fire shots.

  “Roselle, you idiot!” Risebelle shouted. She tio fire at the approag dragon, her shots striking its ebony scales and creating sparks of dark energy.

  Runebelle summoned her on and unleashed a barrage of speed shots at the Abyssal Shadotacks proved to be iive against the creature’s formidable defehe dragon tis relentless dest, uerred by the magical assault.

  With a swift and powerful strike, the Abyssal Shadon nded a devastating blow on Risebelle, sending her hurtling into a tree with a siing thud. The impact left Risebelle dazed and in pain, her vision blurred as she struggled tain her footing.

  System message:

  Risebelle Lifeforce: 25%

  Runebelle reached out to touch Risebelle’s injured side, her thoughts raced within her mind. She could see the pain and vulnerability in her older sister’s eyes, and a deep sense ency welled up withihoughts.

  ‘Her lifeforce is diminishing, and if I don’t do something, it might go down even further. But this is just one foe of many we’re fag. What if Roselle finds herself in the same situation? We’re strong, we are, but those two were built for bat mainly. They need someone who support them what they need......’

  As Runebelle began trying to pce her green energy and focus it into healing her injured sister, a moment of deep e with the mystical forest occurred. In that instant, Runebelle felt a surge of newfound power within her, a response came from her systems.

  The System message appeared before her:

  Ability Acquired: Healing Shot (Requires on)

  Runebelle’s eyes widened with realization as she summoned her on into her arms. She uood that she could now use this newfound power to not only defend her sisters but also to heal them when they were in dire need.

  Runebelle aimed her on toward Risebelle’s injuries and prepared to unleash the Healing Shot

  With a focused and steady aim, Runebelle fired the Healing Shot, a gentle beam of green energy that enveloped Risebelle’s wounded side. The healing magic surged through her sister’s body, mending injuries and promoting rapid recovery.

  Risebelle’s pained face gradually softened as the Healing Shot worked its magic. The injuries that had once caused her great distress now began to heal before their eyes, and her lifeforce showed a signifit increase, now at 60%.

  Risebelle couldn’t help but chuckle at her sister’s words, a very rare smile grag her lips.

  “That’s the spirit, Runebelle,” Risebelle said. “We’re a team, and we’ll make the most of every ability and resource we have. Now that you have this healing shot, we’re two times stronger.”

  Risebelle pushed herself up, her body feelialized thanks to Runebelle’s newfound power. She gnced over at Roselle, who was still locked in battle with the Abyssal Shadon.

  “It’s time for a eback,” Risebelle decred, “Let’s rejoin the fight and show that dragon what we’re made of.”

  Roselle’s battle against the Abyssal Shaded on as she fired her on-like on at the airborne creature. Her shots crackled with lightning energy, and she aimed with precision, hoping to strike the dragon’s vulnerable spots.

  Her first three shots missed their mark, causing frustration to well up within her. However, Roselle remained resolute.

  ‘My sisters are depending on me... I have to keep going!’

  The Dragon prepared to unother attack, but Roselle’s instincts kicked in. She swiftly raised her massive on in front of her, using it as a makeshift shield. The dragon’s powerful assault struck the on with tremendous force, causing Roselle to stagger backward from the impact.

  Despite the impact, Roselle mao absorb the brunt of the attack with her on, redug the damage and preventing herself from being thrown back even farther. Her quick thinking allowed her to weather the dragon’s assault, and she readied herself for the round of bat.

  ‘I have to keep pushing,’ Roselle thought to herself. ‘Even if it’s just small bits of damage, every hit ts. That dragon has to go down. But I ’t ighe fact that my magic reserves are running low. I ’t keep this up forever...’

  With each shot, Roselle aimed for the dragon’s weakest points, hoping to chip away at its formidable defenses.

  As Roselle tinued her battle against the Abyssal Shadon, she noticed Risebelle approag her.

  “You look better, Risebelle. What happened?”

  Risebelle nodded in response. “I’ll expin ter. Right now, we need a pn to take down this dragon, and I’ve got one.”

  “Alright, what’s your pn?”

  Risebelle quickly formuted her strategy and reyed it to her sister. “Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll distract the dragon and draw its attention. While it’s focused on me, you use yhtning magic tet its wings. If you disable its ability to fly, I do the rest.”

  Roselle listeteo Risebelle’s pn, her eyes focused on her elder sister. As the pn she nodded in agreement, uanding the logic behind it.

  “I get it”. Roselle replied “Distrad disable? Got it. I’ll aim for those wings and do my best t this dragon down.”

  Risebelle gave her sister a reassuring nod. “Good. Remember, we o time this perfectly. When I give the signal, that’s when you strike. Let’s do this, Roselle.”

  The Abyssal Shadon, its crimson eyes gleaming with malevolence, charged up energy within its massive form as it loomed in the darkened sky. A deep, ominous growl emanated from its throat as it prepared to unleash its dark beam upon the sisters.

  Runebelle, driven by instinct , dashed towards the looming threat, f her pilrs in a futile attempt to protect her sisters. The Abyssal Shadon’s attention turo the blue and pink-haired sister as she tried to shield them, and it prepared to unleash its deadly attack.

  The sisters, reizing the dire situation, scattered in different dires. Runebelle’s desperate as caught the dragon’s attention, and it swooped down, aiming to crush her with its formidable might. However, Runebelle dispyed remarkable agility, expertly dug out of harm’s way as the dragon’s massive form passed overhead.

  Meanwhile, Risebelle seized the opportunity presented by the dragon’s grounded position. She focused her energy and created a slippery blue substan the forest flht beh the dragon’s feet.

  The Abyssal Shadon attempted to shift its massive body towards her; however, the sudden appearance of the slippery energy caught it off guard. As it tried to take a step, its feet lost tra on the slick surface, causing it to lose its band stumble awkwardly.

  The drago out a roar of frustration as it struggled tain its footing.

  Risebelle shouted,

  “Now!”

  Roselle wasted no time. With a burst of lightning energy, she propelled herself high into the air, aiming for the Abyssal Shadon. Her agility and trol over her lightning powers allowed her to nd gracefully on the creature’s massive back.

  The dragon, still struggling tain its ban the slippery surface, was caught off guard by Roselle’s sudden presence. After a shout like a war-cry, Roselle unleashed a powerful barrage of lightning-irikes on both of the dragon’s wings.
