CH 69: Mutual Destruction

Yohan pressed forward, the ground beneath his feet still trembling as he approached the source of the roars and tremors. The forest opened into a massive clearing, and at its center lay a glowing fissure, radiating an intense, almost blinding light.

The Night Raven, its feathers shimmering with a dark, iridescent glow, flapped its powerful wings, releasing bursts of shadowy energy that sliced through the air. Opposing it was the Clawed Demon, a grotesque creature resembling a red goblin, its oversized claws gleaming like molten steel.
