"Aoooo!!" The howl of a wolf echoed through the empty snow, startling Lyon and the others. Another howl followed, and then another, creating an eerie symphony in the desolate landscape.
"Another welcome?" Assid asked, adjusting his glasses just as the ground began to tremble.
In the distance, a colossal beast appeared, as big as a mountain with seven massive tusks protruding from its face. It moved with a slow, deliberate gait, causing the earth to shake with each step.
"Hellboar, long time no see," Lyon said with a smirk. "It seems like you're everywhere from heaven to hell, even here."
Cecile's eyes narrowed as she observed the approaching beast. "It's enormous. We need to be careful."
Maria nodded, her hand instinctively reaching for her weapon. "We've faced worse, but we shouldn't underestimate it."
Selena stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the Hellboar. "If it's a fight it wants, it's a fight it'll get."
