Victor's lips curled into a sneer.
"So you got bigger. Congratulations."
"But bulk and glow don't change the outcome. You're still prey."
Nyxfang's jaws snapped shut with a guttural growl.
Its muscles bulged and its body shook with rage.
Its eyes locked on Loxen.
The new, monstrous form stood still and confident.
And it charged again.
Mid-sprint, Nyxfang's body pulsed violently.
Its veins flared red and black.
Then—
Crimson Nerve Pulse.
A blast of bio-electric energy exploded from its core.
The wave shot across the land, tearing apart the spiritual field.
Every lesser beast in the area instinctively flinched.
Then—
Viral Bloodcloud.
Nyxfang roared and unleashed a cloud of blood-mist, corrupted and weaponized.
It spread fast, coating the battlefield with a special red mist.
It was laced with neurotoxins, illusion-inducing spores, and hallucinogenic agents.
From a safe zone in the distance, Fiona's voice cut through the static.
