As the blinding light finally dissipated, it revealed the monstrous entity that had been imprisoned within the sphere of darkness. Emerging from the epicenter of the explosion was a creature of unparalleled horror—a Hydra.
The Hydra was a colossal beast, its sheer size dwarfing even the largest of the monsters that had besieged Bastion. Its serpentine body stretched out in all directions, a nightmarish tangle of sinewy, coiled serpents that writhed and twisted in an unholy dance of death.
Each of its heads was a grotesque abomination in its own right, resembling a viper of nightmare incarnate. Venomous fangs dripped with a sickly, greenish ichor that sizzled as it struck the ground, leaving acrid, smoking scars in its wake.
