Chapter 97 - 'Human' side, 'beast' side

The serpent raised its massive head, there it peaked from the darkness. When its gaze felled on the beasts still attacking the stilled form of its sibling, it parted its jaw and brought it down on the nearest a hiss of anger escaping from it swallowing it whole. Constricting its throat the body of the beast was squeezed, twisted, and crushed before it was swallowed down the throat effortlessly by the serpent beast. The crush of bones and the death knell of the beast was heard by those who were attacking, their forms which were previously only focused on attacking the corpses beneath them froze. The eyes became wild, turning to befell the serpentine beast which appeared filled at a rapid pace with fear.
