"ROAAARR—!"
The Stone Scorpion King let out a savage roar, its eight blood-red eyes locking onto the glowing stone tablet in Ethan's hand. It sensed the energy pulsing from it—and without hesitation, it raised one massive claw and lunged straight at him.
It was like watching a tank-sized armored vehicle charging head-on.
Ethan's eyes narrowed. He stopped holding back.
With a surge of power, he unleashed the full force of the Domain of the Dead. A wave of oppressive energy exploded outward, sweeping across the battlefield, stretching hundreds of feet in every direction.
The surrounding boulders, caught in the domain's grip, began to crack and crumble, disintegrating into dust that drifted into the air like ash.
It was as if a natural disaster had descended.
The Scorpion King's enormous claw, the moment it entered the Domain of the Dead, began to tremble and hum. Its momentum slowed drastically—until it came to a complete stop mid-air.
