A deafening bzzzzzz tore through the canopy as the Earthcore Blood Queen Bee unfurled its grotesque wings. The air trembled with the sound, low, monstrous, and maddening. A strange wind followed, heavy and warm, laced with the coppery stench of blood.
Then came the blood rain.
With a single flap of its wings, the sky turned red as droplets of crimson surged down like falling knives. The rain wasn't just liquid, it was dense, thick with spiritual force and lethal intent.
In seconds, an entire portion of the forest was annihilated. Massive trees snapped in half like twigs, torn apart by blood spikes the size of spears that plunged from above. The earth cracked and steamed, and beasts wailed in terror as they were impaled or crushed beneath the assault.
The chaos was unrelenting.
A pack of horned shadow wolves was skewered before they could flee. A three-eyed boar beast tried to charge away, only to be swallowed by a burst of crimson thorns erupting from the ground.
