Hakugyoshi slammed into the obsidian ground, the lanterns on their back clattering with the force of the blow. Above them, the aggressor’s silhouette blocked the famous sunset over The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, their victory seemingly assured. They watched Hakugyoshi's eyes roll back—a classic knockout—and moved in closer to claim their prize. It was the oldest trick in a realm full of brilliant magicians who often forgot that the simplest deceptions were the most effective. As the opponent leaned in, Hakugyoshi’s eyes snapped open, perfectly clear. The guiding lanterns were never meant for finding a path. They were for creating a sudden, blinding sun that left an enemy helpless for a single, decisive counterattack.
