The massive Shiik beast butchering its lessers had finally been overwhelmed, it was inevitable that this would occur. Although it was strong and fast, able to kill its opponents with a single swing or thrust of its powerful limbs, the bodies around it were beginning to pile up and the space for it to maneuver was reducing.
The Shiik should have been able to last longer but it stubbornly refused to move from its position. Although powerful, its growing instincts as a hunter at the top of the food chain were dominating its thought processes and the ground it had claimed would never leave its grasp.
Plus Rowan suspected that its state was peculiar, the fact that it was quiet was suspicious, and if he was not wrong this beast was about to evolve from an Enlightened Calamity to a Heroic Calamity. From the memories Rowan had access to, he knew that this should be impossible.
