As Throk's transformation completed, a wave of shock and horror rippled through the ranks of both humans and goblins alike. The once cunning and sly goblin chief had now become a grotesque and formidable monstrosity.
Hans, recovering from the failed Death Blow, struggled to regain his bearings. His head throbbed with pain as he lay sprawled on the ground, his vision blurred. Raniel and Runiel rushed to his side, their expressions grave.
"Stay back," Hans managed to groan, his voice strained. "He's... too strong now."
Throk, now fully transformed, let out a guttural roar that echoed across the battlefield. His muscles bulged with unnatural power, and his eyes gleamed with feral aggression.
The goblin soldiers, initially emboldened by Throk's transformation, now hesitated. Fear crept into their eyes as they beheld the monstrous form of their chief. Whispers of dread spread among their ranks.
