◇◇◇
[Valtara Fortress – Battlefield]
BOOM!
A shockwave shattered the ground as Ironhorn surged forward, its violet horn glowing with tyrannical power.
Rael barely managed to raise his sword before—

CRASH!
A devastating impact sent him soaring through the air, his ribs cracking under the sheer force.
"GAAH—!!"
He slammed into the fortress walls, blood spraying from his mouth.
The Sacred Griffin shrieked, diving toward him—
But before it could reach him—
Ironhorn appeared in front of it.
◇◇◇
Evelyn gasped. "I-It moved so fast...!!"
Celestia giggled, her red eyes glowing. "Fufu~ Look, Darling. That bird is terrified."
Rael's Sacred Griffin flapped its wings desperately, trying to retreat.
But Ironhorn wouldn't allow it.
SWOOSH!
The colossal rhino vanished—only to reappear above the Griffin.
"IMPOSSIBLE—!!" Rael's voice cracked.
BOOM!!
Ironhorn's massive body slammed down, sending the Sacred Griffin plummeting to the earth.
It let out a piercing screech, its golden feathers stained with blood.
The battlefield fell silent.
◇◇◇
Leonhardt watched, unimpressed.
"Is this all the so-called 'Hero's Beast' can do?"
Rael's breath was ragged. "H-How...? T-That thing shouldn't be this fast—!!"
Leonhardt smirked.
"My Ironhorn is no longer bound by the limits of ordinary beasts."
He placed a hand on Ironhorn's armored hide.
"It has evolved into a Tyrant-Class Beast—the first of its kind."
Evelyn's hands trembled. "T-Tyrant-Class...?"
Celestia purred, leaning on Leonhardt's shoulder. "Fufu~ It means that no other beast in existence can rival it."
Rael's eyes widened. "T-That's..."
Leonhardt tilted his head. "What's wrong, 'Hero'?"
Rael gritted his teeth. "I... I won't lose—!!"
Leonhardt's smirk vanished.
"Then die."
◇◇◇
Rael roared in desperation.
His Sacred Griffin struggled to its feet, its golden eyes filled with pain.
Leonhardt sighed. "Still resisting?"
He turned to Ironhorn.
"Crush it."
The rhino's violet horn gleamed with pure destruction.
BOOM!
It charged.
Faster.
Stronger.
Unstoppable.
Rael's Sacred Griffin could only watch in horror—
Before Ironhorn's horn impaled its chest.
SQUELCH.
The battlefield froze.
The Hero's Beast... was dead.
