The battlefield trembled.
The five monsters, now swollen with unnatural power, loomed like living nightmares. Their bodies stretched, muscles ballooning, bones cracking and reforming with grotesque strength.
The wyvern's scales gleamed darker, more jagged than before, its wings spreading wider as fire flickered between its fangs.
The four minotaurs beside Ali towered nearly twice their former size, veins pulsing crimson beneath thickened hides.
And then....
Rooooaaar!
All five let out a bone-shaking cry before charging once again.
Ali, Noah, and Gideon's party braced themselves for what was coming, but this time, no formation could hold.
The wyvern didn't even spare a glance at Noah or Gideon's party anymore. Its blazing eyes locked onto one target....
Logan!
With a single beat of its wings, it ripped through the air, soaring straight at him.
