The Alpha tore through what remained of the gate like it was made of paper.
The massive creature, easily fifteen feet tall at the shoulder, with muscles that rippled beneath scarred fur and claws the length of short swords, planted its front paws on the rubble and roared.
The shockwave of sound hit the remaining guards like a physical force. Several of them were literally flung backward, losing their footing, their makeshift defensive line disintegrating in an instant.
The guard captain, blood streaming from a gash across his forehead, his armor dented and torn, staggered to his feet and stared at the Alpha with the expression of a man who'd just seen his own death.
"What the fuck is that thing doing here?!" His voice cracked with desperation and disbelief. "That's an Alpha! There's no way... we can't take that down without knights!"
He was right.
I could see it in my debug vision, the numbers laid out with brutal clarity.
Level 31.
I was level 19.
