The moment that abominable creature rose from the blood circle, both the human and demon sides froze in terror.
Every warrior, every mage, and even the beasts that had been roaring moments ago now stood completely still. The monstrous being towered over the battlefield, its countless tentacles writhing in the air while black slime dripped to the ground, hissing as it corroded everything it touched. The smell of decay and madness spread like poison.
The air itself grew heavy. The sky darkened, and an invisible pressure crushed every living soul. It wasn't just fear. It was something far more dreadful like an instinctive reaction that came from the depths of their minds.
Then a deafening voice roared, shattering the eerie silence.
"What the hell is going on!?"
