A gigantic monstrous jaw emerged from the darkness ahead of us, large enough to swallow mountains whole while endless rows of crimson teeth stretched outward grotesquely into the void. Thick black saliva dripped endlessly between the massive fangs while the darkness inside the creature's mouth twisted unnaturally like a living abyss.
Even I paused slightly after seeing that.
Defender Aurora raised one eyebrow faintly.
"That's strange," she muttered quietly. "Even this is not its true form."
Then she snapped her fingers again. The monstrous jaw collapsed instantly into black mist.
This time a giant coffin appeared before us instead.
It stood vertically like an enormous black doorway covered in ancient funeral inscriptions while complete darkness swirled endlessly inside the partially opened lid. The surrounding lantern flames dimmed visibly the moment it appeared.
I narrowed my eyes slightly.
"Is this the real one?"
Defender Aurora shook her head calmly.
