As that reddish glow deepened in his eyes, the Nosk's ferocity only increased, but somehow he was getting slower. This was not obvious given their terrifying speed, but it became more and more clear as the fight dragged on.
The luster of the long hair-like dendrites was also dimming, their bluish radiance slowly but surely fading. These translucent tentacles were the Nosks' innate energy reservoirs, and they could even plug them into their own people or an available power source to recharge their batteries.
In addition to having a portable power source that was hard to gauge, this Nosk was unlike any that Jake and Will had encountered in the past. This one was a huge albino Nosk over 3 meters tall and its armor covering every inch of its body was far more advanced and intimidating. It was a genuine technological jewel, which unfortunately had no use here.
