In another part of the city,
Pillars of smoke and fire billowed into the sky as explosions rattled the city's core. The air was thick with the acrid stench of burning fuel, mixed with the sharp, metallic tang of scorched metal. Buildings groaned and cracked, their foundations quaking under the relentless assault.
A massive, twisted creature loomed in the heart of the chaos, its enormous body coiling and thrashing as it tore through the streets. Each movement sent shockwaves rippling through the ground. The sound of its roars echoed off the walls, deep and guttural, vibrating the air around it.
Eight heads, each gaping with venomous fangs, hissed and snapped in every direction. Their eyes, wide and bloodshot, flickered with rage and hunger. Thick, dark saliva dripped from the edges of their jaws, sizzling as it hit the cracked pavement below. The heads turned, swaying independently, snapping toward anything that moved, their tongues flickering in the smoke-choked air.
