The ruby crystal boulder shook, shuddered, then shattered, its bits and pieces flying in all directions as a smoke cloud of red surged from it.
A loud roar rang out just as a deep aether presence wafted forth, and a titanic amount of chaotic water aether exploded outward.
Uriel immediately summoned his Elemental Mantle and Simple Domain, protecting himself from the avalanche of water aether.
He'd seen firsthand, long ago, just how terrifying water aether could be.
'Is that…'
Harsh winds buffeted against his body, and he was pushed back, forced to cover his face with an arm as he squinted, trying to catch sight of what had been summoned.
BANG!
'…a beast?'
The red smoke cleared, revealing a large creature looming in the distance.
The beast was serpentine in nature, its body long and coiled, floating in the air even without wings, its form made of a bloody mass encased in dark amethyst scales.
