Esteemed Queen, your return ensures our triumph

In an instant, Thalor's purple domain enveloped the entire battlefield. His centipede swung its massive body, blocking several hobgoblin shamans from attacking its master.

The centipede opened its gaping maw, and a purple vortex appeared at its head. Catching the five Monarch-level goblins off guard, it devoured them all in one gulp. They didn't even have time to scream before their forms vanished completely.

The five Monarch-level hobgoblins fighting the centipede were startled, fearing they might be next. They quickly retreated to avoid its attack.

Both the hobgoblins and undead were stunned by the centipede's unexpected move. It was the first time they realized the centipede had such a bizarre devouring ability.

The key point was that this unexpected move wasn't used to devour enemies but rather to consume its own allies in a disadvantageous situation.
