Even though he had been mentally prepared, the instant that enormous dog head emerged, Li Wei's first instinctive reaction was to turn tail and run—as far as he possibly could.
Because what the God of Justice had sealed beneath the temple on Moonshadow Island really was an evil thing—an absurdly enormous evil thing, utterly beyond the ability of small fry like them to contend with.
