"Inferno Jackals!"
The commander's voice cut through the silence, halting the momentum of the soldiers as everyone turned their attention to the looming threat. Alex whipped his head toward the rising smoke in the distance, his eyes narrowing as a surge of oppressive heat swept over the landscape. The sound of massive, thundering paws rumbled through the air, and soon, the shape of the beasts emerged—a pack of Inferno Jackals, their fiery forms blazing against the gruesomeness of the battlefield.
These were no ordinary creatures. They were infamous for their relentless aggression and unquenchable hunger for destruction. With each step, the earth cracked and sizzled beneath their flaming paws, and the air around them shimmered with unbearable heat.
The ground in their wake was scorched black, and the closer they came, the stronger the oppressive heat became.
Soldiers from the Scarlet Moon Garrison broke formation, a wave of panic sweeping over the ranks.
