He moved straight toward the two-headed black dog, his entire body bathed in the sinister glow of his black flames, a sight like a devil descending from the darkness itself.
And just as Max had suspected, the moment those flames flared fully, the two-headed black dog visibly recoiled. Its dual heads lowered slightly, its snarls more defensive than aggressive. It hesitated, its instincts warning it of the danger it now faced.
A grim smile tugged at Max's lips. 'So it's true… my black flames restrain you.'
But suddenly—
"Roar—!"
The sound tore through the abyss like a thunderclap, echoing off every wall, making the ground itself tremble. The two-headed black dog in front of Max raised both heads high and let out a howl so fierce it seemed to shake the very air. It wasn't just a howl of anger—it was a summons, a call to arms.
Almost instantly, the rest of the pack joined in.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
