The flames surrounding Roni danced with an almost beautiful intensity, their orange and crimson tongues twisting through the air like living creatures. Heat distorted the space around him, creating ripples that made the battlefield look like a mirage.
Then came the screams.
Roni's smug expression twisted into one of sheer agony as the fire consumed him. His massive frame, which had seemed so imposing moments earlier, was swallowed by the inferno. He barely had time to react before his HP plunged to zero, his body crumbling into glowing particles that scattered across the battlefield.
One shot.
Ren had killed Roni with a single [Flame] spell.
The spell wasn't even particularly flashy. There had been no elaborate incantation, no complicated sequence of skills, and certainly no dramatic buildup. Ren had simply cast a basic fire spell, and one of the strongest players on the opposing side had ceased to exist.
The absurdity of it left everyone speechless.
