บท 171: Calamity Beasts

Eratz stood calmly as the room remained silent, the two beasts beside him radiating a powerful energy that filled the air.

Raijinara, with its crackling yellow lightning, was awe-inspiring on its own, but what stunned everyone wasn't just its presence, it was the fiery creature at its side.

Cinderblaze, with its ember-red glow and flames flickering across its ears, exuded a presence equally as strong as Raijinara.

For the first time, everyone could feel it: the two beasts shared a similar aura.

Kaida was the first to break the silence. She stammered, her usual confidence shaken.

"This thing... It's... no way... this thing's real?"

Her wide eyes were fixed on Cinderblaze as she struggled to find the words to match her amazement.

Raya's frown deepened, her uneven eyes seeming to focus on the fiery aura radiating from Cinderblaze.

"I see," she murmured. "I'm starting to understand why your soul seems deeper."
