The crimson balrog had undergone an incredible transformation just like the lycanthropes before it. Its skull helm now stretched all the way to its upper chest, the horns already on its head now branched off into threes, each sharper than the original. Its eyes which had previously given off a dull red glow now shone like orbs. The largest change though, was the wings. They had doubled in size and speed, and each flap sent a gust of wind hurtling into the opposite direction. It let off another roar before streaking towards Derrin and Kayla. Derrin remained unintimidated, his rage crowding out any other thought. His shadow formed a shield in front of them, and the crimson balrog collided head on with it. A shockwave shot forth from the point of impact as the two sides pushed with all their might to break the other.
