A monstrous figure emerged from the shadows—a hideous, bloated version of the Green Chimera. Its body, towering as large as an elephant, was riddled with horrific wounds. Flesh hung in ragged strips, and oozing entrails swayed with its every movement.
Its glowing, sickly green eyes locked onto Gray, filled with malice.
The creature tilted its head back and released an earsplitting roar. The sound reverberated through the forest like a thunderclap, causing the brittle, lifeless branches nearby to crack and shatter.
From its gaping maw, thick green smoke poured forth, spreading outward like a living entity. The fog twisted and coiled, saturating the air with an acrid, sulfuric stench.
Gray instinctively recoiled as the burning fumes clawed at his skin. His eyes stung, the pain like a thousand needles stabbing into his corneas.
