The air cracked like breaking bone as Remu lifted her hand, fingers trembling—not with fear, but with rage. The grimoire beside her spun violently, its pages flaring with black fire as the ground beneath her feet split open.
Then—
BOOM!!!
A monstrous eruption burst from the earth behind her, shaking the entire dimension. Black stone and violet fire launched skyward as something crawled out. No—many somethings.
Massive limbs. Glowing red eyes. Screeches that scraped against the mind.
Constructs.
Six in total—towering monsters, easily Class A threat levels. Each one twisted and grotesque in its own way. One had writhing tentacles made of screaming shadows. Another had a maw in its chest that opened like a gate to the void. One was shaped like a giant spider—but its legs were made of blades, and its abdomen was pulsing like it had something alive trapped inside.
Mob, Temmy, and Ruka all froze.
That spider.
That damn spider.
