The first Alpha was a massive creature with a tail like a morning star, wreathed in earthy mana. It swung its heavy limb with enough force to shatter stone, forcing Neo to roll beneath the strike and counterbite the creature's soft throat.
Neo used his jaw strength to crush the vertebrae, ending the first leader's life with a wet crunch.
Neo did not rush the remaining four Alphas at once. Guided by the bond, he isolated the second Alpha, which was a heavy-set creature with bone spikes protruding from its spine.
He used his superior coordination to dodge a series of tail swipes while his sub heads tore into the Alpha's underbelly, exposing the pulsing core within.
The third and fourth Alphas attacked in tandem, one attempting to pin Neo's limbs with sticky, web-like saliva while the other lunged for his neck.
