The Orc leader staggered, blood gushing from the stump where its arm once was, yet its ferocious spirit remained unbroken. Ignoring the searing pain that coursed through its veins, the creature reached for a small, ominous-looking sphere clenched tightly in its remaining hand.
With a guttural growl, the Orc leader forced the sphere into its mouth, swallowing it whole. Instantly, its massive form convulsed as dark energy surged through its body, distorting the very air around it with its malevolent presence.
"Miss Fei!" Sofia's voice rang out, sharp with urgency, as she conjured a protective barrier of ice around Fei, shielding her from the impending danger.
Fei braced herself, her heart pounding with adrenaline as she watched the Orc leader undergo a terrifying transformation. The dark energy radiating from its body seemed to warp reality itself, twisting and contorting the creature into a grotesque parody of its former self.
