The creature's roar echoed through the icy ruins, a sound that seemed to vibrate through Kain's very bones. Its glowing purple eyes locked onto him, and Kain could feel the malevolence—and hatred?— radiating from it.
Its movements were incredibly fast, its claws slashing through the air with terrifying precision.
Kain barely had time to react. He dove to the side, the creature's claws narrowly missing him as they tore through the ice where he had been standing. He rolled to his feet, his spear in hand, his heart pounding in his chest. The creature turned to face him, its glowing purple eyes narrowing as it prepared to strike again.
"What the hell are you?" Kain muttered, his voice trembling despite his best efforts to stay calm. The creature didn't respond, of course. It simply roared again, the sound reverberating through the ruins as it charged at him once more.
