With each stride, Liam's footsteps echoed against the rocky terrain as he sprinted towards the six Shadowclaws patrolling the barren landscape.
The six Shadowclaws menacingly turned towards him, their fangs bared and their paws transforming as their claws extended.
Simultaneously, the three Thundewings, adorned with gray and blue feathers crackling with electricity, fixed their intense yellow eyes and extended their claws onto the branches they perched upon.
Initially, none of these birds made a move, their attention captured by the fearless Spirit Master who was engaging in combat with the six hyenas using only his sword, opting not to summon his Spirit.
Similar to the three black-beaked birds, other creatures nearby observed with curiosity, biding their time to either escape or seize an opportunity.
