Storm materialised in a flash of crackling blue-white light. Unlike its larval form from the real world, this was no helpless aquatic nymph. Its evolution into a B Rank beast had transformed it into its true form as a predator.
Its body stretched to nearly the size of a large dog, with a long, slender abdomen covered in overlapping sapphire plates that shimmered like polished steel.
Four translucent wings extended from its thorax, each vibrating so rapidly that it became little more than a blur that distorted the surrounding air. Veins of glowing electricity pulsed through those wings with every beat.
Its compound eyes dominated its head, each one made up of thousands of tiny lenses that reflected the swamp from every conceivable angle. Meanwhile, blue arcs of electricity danced constantly across its body, crackling from wing to wing before dissipating into the humid air.
