Amon tried to see what was coming out of it. He narrowed his eyes.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
His heart beat louder and faster. From the shattered entrance of the ancient ruin, something enormous stepped out.
Everything was dark. But Amon could see it clearly. The ground trembled.
Amon's breath caught in his throat.
A huge gorilla emerged fully into the open.
Its fur was pitch black. Its eyes glowed red. It stood over twenty meters tall, its body packed with absurdly dense muscle, veins bulging like coiled ropes beneath its skin. Every step it took cracked the earth beneath its feet.
Then it opened its mouth and roared.
ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!
The sound wasn't just loud; it was violent.
A visible shockwave blasted outward, flattening what little remained of the forest, sending dust, ash, and debris flying in every direction.
Amon felt his ears ring. His chest vibrated painfully as the roar rolled over him like a tidal wave.
