A giant beast leapt out of Karyk's shadow, having the same size and shape as the Giant Wolf that he had killed. The only difference was that it didn't have any bones, or even flesh.
The beast was made purely from the essence of death, that came into existence after devouring the dead wolf.
Karyk jumped up and landed on the back of the undead beast which started running over the lava, completely unaffected.
It didn't have a sense of pain. And even if it was hurt, it could still heal itself as long as the essence of death was still connected with Karyk's abyss.
The shadow wolf ran over the sea of lava that had formed all around Karyk, soon reaching the land where the lava was yet to reach.
Along the way, Karyk saw another giant creature. It was a snake that was coiled around a mountain, sleeping.
Not far from him, there were signs of battle. It was as if the Giant Snake had fought something, and in the end it won.
