The people that were standing around the lake swiftly jumped into action seeing the creature make contact with the lava.
The creature thrashed about, sending large quantities of the viscous red liquid everywhere. But the more it struggled, the deeper it dug its own grave. From the bottom of the lava lake came thousands of serpentine beasts and started attacking the creature.
They were red and black in color, physically much similar to eels with wide mouths filled to the brim with even sharper sharp fangs that seemed to be made out of glowing red crystals.
They bit off chunks of flesh from the titanic creature and entered its body like maddened bulls, eating away everything in their paths.
These beasts themselves were a mix of spiritual and physical creatures, able to live off nothing but the spiritual energy and the lava that bore them.
But when given the opportunity they could bite through even the most durable energy shields with little to no effort.
