From within the towering jagged spires of ice, a monstrous figure rose. The ground shook as shards rained down and a towerying shadow crawled across the broken ice spires.
GRRR~
It looked like a beast from ancient nightmares.
Its frame resembled a colossal bear, yet twisted with otherworldly mutations. Ice spikes jutted from its back and arms, glowing faintly with blue energy.
Two vast, batlike wings unfurled, dripping frost. Its four eyes burned with unnatural light. At the center of its chest, embedded like a heart, glowed a massive Thugnakan crystal, pulsing with bluish cold fire.
The air turned suffocating as its roar echoed across the ruins.
"MUAHAHAHAHA!"
The sound was wrong, a fusion of beastly growl and a voice all too familiar.
"It… it sounds like…" one soldier stammered, his knees buckling.
"King Aurelus!?"
And the monstrous voice confirmed it.
"Be glad, Austerra!" the beast bellowed like a thundering god.
