66 Teaser #1 (1/2)
Crescent, the leader of his team, was going over the details of his plan, one last time. ”Remember to time the cloak buff at 7%. The moment I go in, teleport to the other side of the canyon. Draw their attention. I have the array ready, and if I combo it with my dark star, I can one-shot it at 5%. They don't have the raw burst to outdamage me with their comp.”
Crescent patted both of his teammates' shoulders, psyching them up.

”Vain, Yorth, we've gone over this hundreds of times in practice. Think of it as another practice session, no pressure. We'll win!”
Crescent looked back at the Serpent, his eyebrows furrowed. ”Guys, it's time. Yorth, cloak. Vain, TP*!”
The duo jumped into action. Yorth opened a scroll before biting his thumb. Blood flowed and Vain formed a circle on the scroll. He chanted as the blood shone.
While Yorth channeled the array, Vain chanted a spell.
A dark egg-shaped portal appeared before Vain. It rippled like the surface of a lake. At the same time, Yorth's scroll dimmed in its luminosity, and as it did Crescent started to fade. Gradually he became more spectral before entirely vanishing.
Yorth and Vain jumped into the dark portal, while the invisible Crescent soared into the air, coming closer to his target: The World Serpent.
Meanwhile, Rev, who was tasked to scout for his team, felt a strange magical energy surge within the exit of the canyon. His eyes darted towards its source. Two players stood atop the edge of the canyon, charging a spell towards the boss. Rev was prepared to intercept them when he stopped dead in his tracks.
'Crescent isn't there!'
That realization filled him with an ominous feeling. He summoned two orbs: one golden, the other blue. The orbs moved up and down, left and right, circling him in a spiral that seemed infinite—and they fused. A new, bigger orb was created by their union.
The completed orb pulsated, radiating a wave that encompassed the whole field. Suddenly, Rev turned his gaze to the air towards a specific location. He bit his thumb and he cast the blood that oozed out on the mysterious orb. Its blue began tinting more towards purple. The orb shone with a myriad of color aura.
Rev shouted a simple incantation, ”Revelation!”
Another pulse surged to fill the field. Rev detected a presence and dashed towards it. As he did, an ethereal figure appeared right where he'd sensed something. The transparent figure appeared like a ghost or djinn. Gradually he took corporeal form. He'd found the missing Crescent!
Crescent looked at Rev in surprise. His eyes focused on the orb beside his opponent which resulted in the shock fading into annoyance. At that moment, multiple fireballs appeared around him as he swiftly drew a magic circle. The fireballs shot towards Rev like missiles. Rev watched incoming attacks, responding by nullifying his momentum and redirecting it midair. He started zigzagging with incredible speed, and before anyone could notice it, afterimages appeared.
The fireballs Crescent had launched all missed their target, hitting nothing, and passing harmlessly through the afterimages. Rev took out a kunai, casting it towards his opponent. Crescent, who was layering one magic circle atop another, was forced to end his chanting, breaking his spell. He created a hexagonal ethereal shield to block the kunai. However, Rev's weapon easily broke through Crescent's shield, to pierce his shoulder.
