Nightmare

This once mighty hound of hell was on its last legs. Two of its heads and almost a third of its main body were destroyed by the 'Heavenly Extermination' and it did not seem like it would be able to recover.

Hao Xuan walked around its gigantic body until he could see its only remaining eye staring at him. Even the third head was covered in grave wounds, leaking literal hellfire from the gashes that lined its entire face.

It was looking at Hao Xuan with great hostility. If it could move at all he would have been in serious danger but he had nothing to worry about at this moment.

Hao Xuan met its unflinching gaze, recognizing the pride held by such a unique beast.

[I know you hate me...I would too. I took you away from your home, stole you from your master, and kept you from doing your duty. And now after millenniums of imprisonment you are on death's door through no fault of your own]
