anime illustration. In a massive, destroyed fortress courtyard, a colossal black-scaled dragon looms on the right in dynamic wide-shot, its wings spread wide as it exhales roaring black flames; it is shown from far away, its golden eyes gleaming with malice while a petite, silver-haired witch in a pointed hat and dark robe stands tiny on the far left, channeling crackling lightning to bind the beast and empower the adjacent mercenary’s sword. The powerfully-built male mercenary in leather and plate armor, brown cloak trailing, leaps in the center-left holding a massive greatsword overhead, its blade glowing with blue sparks. Scattered stone debris and broken walls fill the ground around them. The sky is filled with dark, lightning-streaked storm clouds; brilliant rays of sunlight pierce through to illuminate the scene, creating stark contrast with the black flames. The sense of scale is emphasized by the tiny heroes beneath the enormous dragon, which dominates the frame with menacing grandeur.
