The giant before them inhaled deeply, its massive chest expanding like a mountain preparing to collapse. For a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. Then, it unleashed a deafening roar.
ROOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
The sound wasn't just loud—it was cataclysmic, a force of nature that struck them like a hurricane made of noise. The air itself seemed to shatter, vibrating with a power that pressed against their chests and rattled their skulls. The mist around them swirled violently, dispersing for an instant before being sucked back in by the sheer force of the roar.
The goblins were the first to fall. Their sensitive ears betrayed them, their small bodies convulsing as they screamed in pain.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh! It hurts! It hurtsssss!" one goblin shrieked, clutching his ears and stumbling backward.
"Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP!" another wailed, his voice cracking as tears streamed down his face.
