The orc king stirred.
A low growl vibrated in his throat as his massive limbs twitched beneath Riley's boots. Then—with a thunderous roar—Kraghur's body surged back to life.
Riley leapt off just in time.
BOOM!
The orc king erupted from the ground in a burst of rage, his massive frame quivering with fury.
Veins bulged across his thick neck and temple, pulsing visibly beneath his coarse skin.
Growl!!
His nostrils flared as another beastly snarl sounded from his throat.
And then—it happened.
The tattoos that ran along his arms suddenly ignited with a fierce, red glow.
Each line pulsed as though they were alive, sending energy surging through his flesh like magma.
Riley's brows lifted.
He took a step back, eyes narrowing as Kraghur's muscles began to swell rapidly, expanding like an inflating balloon.
His whole body grew larger—denser. Veins popped all across his limbs like writhing snakes, as though his flesh could barely contain the raw power flooding through him.
