Red Aura

The room vibrated with a feel of breath-stealing energy, heavyening the air with the weight of oppression. In the middle of the room was the Abyssal Warden, its deformed shape an assembly of writhing shadows and the corrupted flesh. Tendrils of dark energy on its back writhed and whipped the air like serpents; the eyes of the creature shone violet, radiating malice.

Kaelith tightened her grip on her blade, her sharp blue eyes scanning their opponent. "This is the heart of the Abyss. Stay together and focus. One wrong move, and we're done."

Ryu stepped forward, Voidfang thrumming in his hand, its aura intensifying in the presence of the Abyssal Warden. The shard around his neck pulsed in tandem, growing hotter with every step. "No holding back," he muttered. "This ends here."
