As the beast closed in, it leapt into the air, its massive maw opening wide, revealing rows of jagged, bloodstained teeth. It came down on Kaden like a falling boulder, intending to devour him whole.
But Kaden was ready. As the gaping jaws neared him, he thrust his hands upward, gripping the maxilla and mandible with all his might. His black-veined arms trembled under the beast's immense jaw strength as it tried to clamp down, saliva and blood dripping onto his face.
"No way... am I... dying here!" Kaden yelled through gritted teeth, the black veins on his arms pulsating wildly.
The beast roared, doubling its effort to crush him, but Kaden roared back, his voice fueled by desperation and rage. With a final yell, he summoned every ounce of his strength and yanked the beast's jaws apart.
