Ethan frowned, a ripple of unease tightening in his chest.
He'd seen this white bear before—on the battlefield earlier—but back then, it hadn't been this powerful. What really threw him off was the lack of any visible injuries. It was like the fight with Namyanna had never happened.
In fact, the bear looked even stronger now—its body bulked up, its aura denser, colder, more oppressive.
Ethan quickly pulled up his system scan, eyes narrowing as he analyzed the bear's data panel.
There it was—some kind of strange residual energy clinging to its body. A regeneration mechanism? A power-boosting effect?
He didn't get the chance to dig deeper.
The bear's energy suddenly erupted, shaking the entire battlefield.
BOOM!
A massive spectral bear surged into view behind it, towering like a mountain, casting a shadow that swallowed the sky.
With a roar, it raised one of its massive paws and brought it crashing down—aimed straight at Ethan, the air around it freezing solid.
