Haron's body twisted as the absorbed energy surged through him, forcing his form to expand.
But he didn't grow into a larger humanoid lion demon. Instead, his body warped and stretched into something far more monstrous, a massive demonic lion, towering and primal.
Rachel and the others felt it instantly. His power had increased tremendously, far beyond what it had been before.
Haron threw back his head and roared, the sound shaking the air around them. "I'm going to kill you all…"
Without warning, he lunged. The ground cracked beneath his weight, splintering as he charged forward.
Rachel rushed to meet him head-on. She drove a punch straight into his body, but it barely made an impact.
Instead, it only fueled his rage.
Haron roared again, louder this time, and swung his massive paw at her.
The force behind it sent Rachel skidding back, barely avoiding the full brunt of the blow.
"Tch… so that didn't work," she muttered under her breath. "And it just made him more agitated."
