The golden hippogriff manifested completely outside his body, its 5-meter form filling the chamber.
The abyssal scorpion remained fused with him, its influence evident in the way his body had transformed. The mutations it caused were different from anything she had seen in Yano.
They weren't subtle and stylized like their kingdom's methods, these were more bestial, as if he was becoming the beast rather than merely controlling its power.
'Yino,' she thought while observing the mutation patterns. 'Father told me that only they have perfected fusion with abyssal beasts. He's like those from the attack with Professor Zhao.'
The hippogriff launched forward with impossible speed, its massive form moving with a grace that defied its size. The hydra tried to defend itself, but its movements were already too slow.
In an instant of perfect violence, the griffon's claws cut cleanly through one of the hydra's diamond necks.
