Epic Pixel Art Battle: Knights vs Ancient Black Dragon

In a world of darkness and torment, three knights of gloomy appearance stand defiantly before a towering ancient black dragon. The knights, whose ethnicity includes one Hispanic, one Caucasian, and one Middle Eastern, wear ornate armor decorated with grim motifs, their faces hidden by obsidian-like helmets that mask their true will. Holding their pixelated swords firmly, they present a triangular formation of defiance against the looming threat in their midst. The massive black dragon, illustrated in careful pixel art, exudes malevolence, overshadowing the knights with threatening eyes that glimmer like dying coals against the dark sky filled with countless stars. Enveloped by an indigo aura, the pixelated form of the dragon intimidates with its monstrous wings spanned widely against the night sky, emanating power that demands both fear and respect. Set in the midst of ruins crafted in pixelated art, the knights and the dragon, on the precipice of a battle, create an electrifying atmosphere. The swords are raised, ready for combat while the formidable dragon radiates a dark and powerful aura. The image is intricately detailed, resembling an engrossing boss battle, brought to life using pixel art reminiscent of the bleak environment in dark videogames, offering a deeply gripping and visually stunning encounter.
