*BANG!
With a thunderous bang, Jinn launched forward, Fangeryth drawn—the blade alive with coursing crimson eidra along its edge.
It crackled powerfully—like lightning, creating arcs of electrictiy through the mist as he dashed straight toward the towering beast.
His gaze didn't waver as he moved.
No fear.
Only intent.
Which was to slay.
The creature's malformed frame loomed ahead as its long, crooked limbs twitched, its head jerking unnaturally as it mumbled weirdly.
Jinn didn't hesitate.
He slashed.
*CRACK! *SLASH!
The arc of his blade was both swift and deadly, aimed clean at the beast's spindly right leg.
But the moment before Jinn's strike could land, the beast vanished.
The mist swallowed it whole as it disappeared.
Then...
A whisper in the air.
A shift behind him.
Jinn's eyes widened as he felt it, a sudden pressure.
He turned quickly.
The creature reappeared directly behind him, arms raised high like guillotine blades, joints snapping as they moved.
