A tight feeling wrapped around me.
In just a moment, I found myself standing within the entrance to the cavernous expanse. The lizard king did not give up and charged towards the entrance.
A deafening bang resounded.
The lizard king slammed its jaws into the entrance, but could only fit its maw so far in. Nonetheless, the ground shook violently, jostling my body up and down. The lizard king attempted to open its jaws, but could only do so slightly.
I could feel its breath brush past me, which was scorching hot, enough to start a fire. I imagine the cause was the peppers.
After a few more seconds of struggle, the lizard king backed up, then rammed the entrance once more. A few pebbles fell from the ceiling as the cavern shook violently.
I continued backing up just to be safe.
