'Oh, it looks like it can't maintain it's act anymore.' Vendrick muttered after hearing the way the beast roared at him.
What followed next made everything clear that the creature was done with games already.
The emaciated hound like creature released a horrifying howl that caused its devious aura to explode. The darkness shroud became thicker and more resilient, devouring all the light away. Vendrick's elements and the hound's darkness were competing in supremacy.
Vendrick also saw the changes happening to the hound. It was using it's life force to over-compensate. It's as if time was being rewound for the hound. It's previously thin and emaciated body was gradually filling up with tightly packed muscles and a tough hide. Its fur grew longer and became more lustrous in addition to its claws growing sharper and longer.
