However, it didn't obscure their vision.
They saw the silhouette of an enormous Spirit Beast with a long, sinuous neck emerging from the massive hole.
Its scales were molten crimson and black, like embers buried under ash. It had a long snout and an elongated, V-shaped jaw filled with sharp rows of teeth. Thorn-like protrusions crowned its neck.
Then, another neck emerged from the massive hole.
And another.
Until there were seven heads, each as distinct and fearsome as the last.
It was a hydra-like Spirit Beast!
The first head burned with raw crimson fire. The second was covered in purple mist. The third crackled with thick streaks of white lightning. The fourth was surrounded by an invisible gust of heavy wind.
The fifth appeared ordinary, but it was clear its ability was hidden. The sixth was covered in shards of crystal. Lastly, the seventh head blazed with fierce green fire.
