"You're courting death!" the Mysterious Nether Rainbowwood Beast thundered in fury. Its eyes widened, and astonishing green light shot from them, blazing with searing radiance. At the same time, its enormous body swung its remaining, unsevered tentacle at the descending One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast.

"Roar!!" The One-Horned Tiger-Lion Beast's lion and tiger heads unleashed an earth-shaking roar together, sending out ring after ring of sound waves. Those waves blasted up tremendous surges of air, forcibly slowing the incoming tentacle. Clearly, they contained astonishing magic power.

It rose higher and higher, wheeling through the sky and spinning out tremendous bursts of golden light. A terrifying whirlwind roared toward the Mysterious Nether Rainbowwood
