Everyone was completely stunned. Darian was radiating such a powerful, sinister aura it felt like it had turned into a physical force.
Tir, Awel, and Eleri stared at him in a whole new light, eyes wide in shock. Until then, in their minds, that "hybrid" was just someone who relied mostly on hidden weapons and his sharp mind to pull off miracles. But now...
Darian waved his hand again. All the black runes pulsed.
*BOOM!*
The black cage exploded violently, leaving the beasts and the Golden Monkey dumbfounded. Space itself rippled chaotically for a few seconds, and when everything calmed down...
...at the center of it all, only a pair of crimson eyes stared back at them coldly.
The beast leader reacted instantly, waving his hand.
"DIE!" a deafening roar blasted from behind.
"Brother Darian, watch out!" Awel shouted desperately.
