The ear-splitting roar of the Earth-Core Giant beast tore through the underground cave like the blast of a hundred thunder-magic charms. The sheer sound violence rattled the teeth in Tie Shan’s jaw and sent violent, rhythmic ripples racing across the outer jelly hull of the fluid capsule.
In its feverish delirium, the four-hundred-meter titan didn’t see a team of kind healers arriving with medicine and relief. It saw only the spiritual signed names of fighters hovering near its smoldering wound. The very same kind of entities that had ambushed it thirty thousand years ago with poisoned bone, rotting chains, and wicked soul-binding formations.
Blinded by agony, starved of cool air. Then it cornered by ancient terror, the huge beast thrashed with all the terrible might of an ancient disaster sovereign.
Its massive clubbed tail, plated in thick ridges of black fiery dark rock and studded with razor-sharp black glass horns, swept through the molten lake with the speed of a falling meteor. The displaced magma had nowhere to go. A titanic blast wave tore through the liquid rock, churning the glowing orange surface into a storm of boiling fury that sent crimson foam splashing against the cave walls.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
