Jarek who was last of the barbarians was turned to mush before Hao Xuan could even wrap his mind around what was happening.
The Avian Ether Beast 'jumped' down from the ceiling, landing right behind Hao Xuan. It was over 200 meters long from head to tail so standing in its shadow Hao Xuan was smaller than an ant.
It lowered its beastly head as much as it could, nudging Hao Xuan awake.
He was still standing there, amongst all the death and bloodshed, but it didn't 'feel' real to him. He felt like a stranger in his own body, watching the scenes unfold from the perspective of a third person.
He turned around and to see the creature's open maw welcoming him.
Behind them the humanoid ether beast had strode in as if it was on a morning walk. It got down on one knee.
Hao Xuan heard a rumble and turned back around to see the humanoid ether beast staring down at him. Even bent halfway it was over 60 meters tall.
