The funeral ceremony ended to a halt at the appearance of a giant centipede with a dragon's head. Baring its mouth with rows and rows of sharp teeth, it quickly bit off the two guards' heads within a blink.
Ren, Evie, and Ragnar all teleported to a safe distance when it slithered in their direction, its massive body wreaking havoc on everything it touched.

And to emerge victorious from this fight and get that Mask, they must survive even with just one member left until the Orcs and the others can kill it. If they failed, then . . . it was game over.
