"You think it's over just because you captured him? This... is only the beginning of your destruction."
A man in a black cloak stood near the city's central bell.

KRAK... KRAK...
The crunch of moving bones echoed through the air. A complete four-legged skeleton was assembled before them. Then, muscles, organs, and blue-scaled skin enveloped the frame. The beast opened its eyes and let out a thunderous roar. The crowd immediately scattered in panic.
