"Roar——!!!!!!"
The deafening roar, full of wildness and power, suddenly exploded like a thunderclap, tearing apart the silence before dawn!
It was a demonized Lion Beast, as stout as a giant bear! Its dagger-like fangs reflected a chilling light in the sparse morning glow, and most strikingly, its mane was not the usual tawny color, but as dark as condensed night mist, appearing to absorb light.
The shadow creature — Shadow Mane Lion.
Its speed was beyond imagination, like a black lightning bolt racing close to the ground, instantly arriving underneath a watchtower.
Then, using its body as a weapon, it fiercely smashed into the watchtower.
Bang! Crack!
The base of the tower groaned under the strain, shaking violently!
The Jackal-Wolf Folk sentry on the tower shrieked in terror, falling down, and while still in mid-air, the Shadow Mane Lion's sharp claws swept across.
Slash——!
