Lucius stood like a nightmare made flesh, his monstrous form dominating the battlefield. His body had morphed beyond recognition, muscles rippling with inhuman power beneath a slick, living armor of shadows that clung to him like a second skin. The air around him pulsed with a sinister energy, every heartbeat resonating with a palpable dread. His eyes burned like molten rubies, twin orbs of pure malevolence fixed on the humans who dared defy him. A cruel smile twisted his lips, revealing newly-formed canine teeth that gleamed like ivory blades in the dim light.
His voice cut through the tense silence, guttural and commanding, like the toll of a death knell.
"Now, the time has come to take over my property for good."
