The creature's skin was a sickly green, and its eyes were a glowing red. It had a long snout and rows of razor-sharp teeth. It roared, its breath hot and foul.
John's eyes widened in shock at the sheer size of it. It was as tall as an old tree and had a muscular body, its muscles bulging.
Zara was stunned and couldn't move, her hands trembling as she stared at the beast.
John gritted his teeth and shouted, "Zara, guard the entrance, I'll hold back the beast!"
Zara nodded, still stunned, and she rushed towards the entrance, her body covered in a fiery aura.
The monster roared again, its red eyes glowing brighter as it charged towards John.
"Shockwave," he muttered as he raised his hand and a violent burst of energy erupted from his palm, slamming the monster back.
The monster didn't seem fazed by the attack and it lunged at John, its jaws snapping inches away from his face.
