The six heads were the first to finish assembling. The final result was a monstrous face with four mouths and twelve eyes arranged in a circle.

Ten of them were brimming with power and emitted a stream of multi-colored mana that closely resembled a Balor's elemental pillar. Except it was much weaker due to both the incomplete powering up and merging of the creatures' mana core.
