The ground shook hard, causing Erik to stumble and freeze in place. The vibrations intensified, and the blackguards' base trembled violently.
Cracks appeared on the walls, spreading like spider webs across the surfaces. Dust and small debris rained down from the ceiling as the tremors grew stronger.
The entire structure groaned and creaked, but it wasn't like it was falling on itself. Quite the opposite.
"What the fuck is going on?"
The sound of fire crackling started raising like the gurgling of a drowning man, swimming desperately to come out of the sea, threatening to kill him. Then, an explosion shattered the building from the inside. The night sky was ablaze, illuminated by a fire as bright as the stars shining in the sky. It was just that, following that explosion, a huge black reptilian head came and peered through the fire. Its slit eyes, staring at Erik.
"Shit… SHIT!"
