The Ancient Dragons were still locked in fierce combat with their Replicas when a sudden disturbance rippled through the mirrored ceiling above them. Their eyes widened as a massive creature emerged from the glassy surface, descending with terrifying speed toward Cain. The scarlet dragon barely had time to react before the creature slammed into him with such force that a kinetic burst echoed through the entire labyrinth.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!"
It was a colossal serpent, nearly one hundred thousand meters long, its body composed entirely of crystal-like glass that shimmered with an ethereal light. The serpent's scales refracted the glow of the labyrinth, casting prismatic colors across the walls. Its eyes were twin orbs of swirling mist, and as it moved, the air around it warped and distorted like heat waves rising from scorching sand. An overwhelming aura radiated from the creature, a force so intense that it pressed down on the dragons like a physical weight.
