"Hiss—!!!"
Seven snake heads lifted skyward, their mouths gaping wide to expose enormous fangs as they emitted a cry of utmost agony.
Transformed into a Naga and bereft of the majority of its cognitive abilities, it couldn't comprehend what had happened, only that the seemingly insignificant insect that had inexplicably filled it with a sense of danger had vanished abruptly, only to reappear at its side, followed by a sensation of being torn apart.
An excruciating pain tore through its heart, and a wave of terror it had never felt before, as if it were the prey of a natural predator, swept through its entire body.
Its robust flesh began to weaken at a rapid pace, becoming more fragile, as if turning from stone into an egg, its once-flawless, Divinity-infused scales progressively dulled, dried up, then cracked, withering away like fallen leaves.
