The chamber trembled with a foreboding rhythm, each pulse resonating like the heartbeat of a sleeping god. Daniel and Mira stood shoulder to shoulder, their gazes fixed on the towering entity before them. The Abyssal Sentinel exuded raw malevolence, its body an ever-shifting amalgamation of jagged darkness and pulsating energy. Crimson orbs glared down at them, their glow piercing through the gloom, filled with disdain and an ancient, cold rage.
The Sentinel's presence made the air feel heavy, as though gravity itself had doubled. Beneath the creature's feet, twin glyphs carved into the floor emitted a deep, resonant hum. Their energy mirrored the power of the Nexus Core fragment in Daniel's grasp, but there was an unmistakable hostility emanating from the glyphs. It was as if they were warning intruders of the cost of proceeding.
The system's voice broke through the oppressive silence, calm and analytical:
[New Entity Detected: Abyssal Sentinel.]
