Flint's Awakening

The sharp mechanical nail elongated, turning into a spike piercing through the air with sinister intent as it headed for David's skull. 

Whoosh! 

Rumble! Rumble!! Rumble!!! 

Suddenly, there was a dim glow and then a reverberation. They originated from within David's fingers. It was his storage ring that was vibrating. 

Whoosh!

A shadow appeared abruptly! 

BANG! 

A dark and sharp claw instantly slammed into the spike, diverting its direction elsewhere. 

Vather staggered backwards three steps while the shadow skidded three meters backwards. It was obvious that despite the shadow's sneak attack, it was still a little weaker than its opponent. 

Vather frowned slightly and gazed at the figure before him. It was a beast, a pure dark beast that was almost three meters tall. It had the tail and paws of a dragon, the head of a panther, the body of a wolf, but red blood pupils that looked monstrous.
