A fan-shaped mountain range rose from the earth, its height reaching an unknown number of thousands of meters.

At its peak, blazing clouds surged from the crater, smoke billowing into the sky as a bright crimson glow illuminated half the heavens. The air carried a faint scorching heat and the smell of sulfur—it was clearly an active volcano.

Magnet Release was formed through the fusion of wind and earth attributes. In the Five Elements' cycle
