A deep silence filled the area. The air grew heavy, making it hard to breathe. Everyone stepped back, their instincts screaming danger.
The dungeon gate twisted and turned, turning into a deep black void. A suffocating aura spread across the area, pressing down on them like a giant hand. The ground trembled, a mild earthquake shaking the ground.
Then, a shadow stepped out.
The creature walked on two feet, its body shifting like smoke yet solid like armor. Six glowing eyes scanned the battlefield, cold and unreadable. A mirror-like core shined from its chest, reflecting distorted images of the world around it. Its wings flickered between reality and illusion, sometimes appearing solid, other times fading into mist. Black chitinous armor covered its body, strange runes glowing and changing as if rewriting its power in real time.
It was tall. The top rankers, the strongest awakeners in the country, barely reached its waist.
