Silence descended once more, the evening breeze gently rustling the leaves. Slowly, a massive creature emerged, its white fur gleaming in the afternoon sun. Its golden eyes fixed sharply on Lucian, radiating a tension almost imperceptible.
"Damn it, I suspected he wasn't human, but what the hell is this...?" Lucian muttered to himself, his eyes narrowing as he observed the creature more closely. He initially thought it was just someone highly skilled at concealing their presence, but this was far beyond his expectations.
The figure before him was clearly not human. Its massive size, its oppressive aura, and the way its eyes shone with an intelligence unlike any ordinary animal—all served as proof.
Lucian let the seconds tick by before finally smirking slightly, his eyes sharpening with calculation.
"Finally, you show your true form."
His voice was light, as if he wasn't bothered, but his fingers moved slightly, preparing for a worse possibility.
