"I'll show them what suffering really is. Such a shame I won't be around to watch their end," he hissed, voice thick with malice. "I'll end this once and for all."

He whispered something under his breath and with a flourish, pointed his index finger to the earth.

From the ground below, the earth trembled violently as cracks spread in jagged lines.

Dark smoke rose up from the crevices on the ground and filled the air with thick, acrid miasma.
