Orel stopped a few steps away from Jeral. Suddenly, he raised two fingers to his lips and let out a sharp whistle.
A voice echoed from behind them, and to their surprise, a massive bear emerged.
It was no ordinary creature. Its fur was dark as night, and its eyes glowed a menacing red.
This was a demonic bear, and in the next instant, it leapt forward, landing directly in front of Orel.
But it didn't stop. Instead, it slammed into him, and for a split second, their bodies overlapped and twisted together.
A new form soon appeared.
It had thick arms, massive claws, a towering body, and dense fur.
It was a grotesque fusion that resulted in a humanoid demonic bear chimera.
As soon as it fully formed, it let out a thunderous roar and turned to Jeral with a grin.
The other grand faction leaders narrowed their eyes at the sight.
"So this is the chimera, huh?"
"What an ugly form."
"As expected of a demonic cultivator."
