Chapter 44: The Monster Unleashed

The air was thick with tension as Ryuto and his party steeled themselves for what would surely be their most brutal battle yet. The monstrous creature before them was unlike anything they had ever encountered. It stood taller than any human, its hulking body covered in armored scales that pulsed with an eerie green light, as though powered by the dark magic it wielded. Its breath released clouds of the black mist that infected everything it touched, turning friends into foes.

Ryuto swung down from the building, landing deftly on his feet beside his companions. He clenched his fists, summoning his powers from his phone's abilities, cycling through his options as quickly as his mind would allow. If there was any hope of defeating this creature, he would need to use every skill he had ever learned.
