The black-boned colossus loomed like a nightmare carved from mountains, molten eyes burning with contempt.
Raven, though swollen with Voidborn power and standing at a towering two and a half meters, still looked like a reckless child sprinting at a lion.
His crimson-scaled feet tore the earth with every step, the massive blade balanced casually on his shoulder.
The beast sneered, rumbling like shifting tectonic plates.
"Little human," it growled, "I'll swat you like—"
WHOOSH!
Raven blurred forward, a comet of black-red flame. The air itself screamed as he swung Omni down in a clean, savage arc.
The beast, however, barely moved—one clawed hand, black as night and thicker than a tree trunk, rose to meet the slash.
CLANG!
Metal met bone with a shockwave that flattened the cracked plane, but the claw held.
The monster's molten grin widened. "Is that all—"
But before it could complete its words, Raven also grinned. "No. That's not all."
Then—
SHHHRAAAANG!
