A first-person vista shot from a low-angle perspective, positioned at the threshold of a massive black iron gate of a demon lord's fortress, looking out across a desolate, barren plain toward a distant medieval royal capital. Standing just beside the protagonist in the foreground is an original priestess with long silver hair tied in a high ponytail, curling ram-like horns on her temples, pointed ears, and sharp pale eyes; she wears a white priestess tabard over a pale-blue dress and grips a long ceremonial staff with both hands, her expression solemn. The iron gate is etched with crimson sigils that glow faintly in the dim light. On the horizon, the royal capital is entirely consumed by fire, with a vast, rising plume of black smoke obscuring the skyline and turning the dawn light into a premature dusk. A thin, dark stream of crows flies from the smoldering city toward the plain. The visual style is that of an anime visual novel key art, featuring a muted grey color palette contrasted by a vast, oppressive orange glow of total conflagration on the horizon, creating a desolate and apocalyptic atmosphere.
