Demonic Lightning Dragon Slayer
In the mystical realm where dark purple lightning dances, there emerges a class that embodies the essence of thunderstorms and wields the might of dragons—the Demonic Lightning Slayers. Drawing inspiration from the Dragon Slayers of Fairy Tail, these warriors are marked by a unique connection with the primal forces of the storm and the power to consume and harness the very essence of lightning.
Origins:
Demonic Lightning Slayers are not mere spellcasters; they are individuals chosen by fate to form a symbiotic bond with dark energies.
