Sasha and Pippy fought against the elder yokai with everything they had, their weapons and magic striking hard against its sinewy torso to little effect. Its eyes glowed with a sinister light as it raged and its muscles bulged under its thick coat of black and red fur. It hissed and growled, its face constantly shifting and changing to a more bestial form as it attacked. Sasha tried to cast spells at it but the pressure of the dark magic was still too intense.
