The powerful surge of life energy from Luca's Heavenly Star Awakening scattered the black mist around him, thinning it slightly.
Under the immense force of nature, Luca's entire presence shifted. The overflowing vitality radiating from him stood in stark contrast to the grotesque, decaying monsters around him.
The howls and growls within the mist intensified. The creatures, with their blood-red eyes locked onto Luca, were filled with ravenous greed. To them, the rich life energy emanating from Luca was an irresistible lure.
More monsters were drawn to him, surging forward in massive waves, their foul stench growing even more overpowering. It was so intense that Luca had to wrinkle his nose in disgust.
With a flash of green light, Luca summoned a shield of emerald energy around himself, allowing him to breathe more freely.
The rank odor was enough to confirm that these creatures had definitely crawled out from the Abyssal Demon Realm.
