An Extra’s POV

[The Present]

As the voice of the Grand Tamer sprang forth, a miracle was born into the world.

The ground split wide open, and the clouds completely parted; all to welcome the arrival of a being that transcended the knowledge and power of everyone present.

The witnesses stood frozen, almost as if they were stuck in time, as a brilliant circle formed on the ground. Runic inscriptions decorated the Magic Circle, with several layers overlapping and mixing with each other in a perpetual dance.

A brilliant light shot up to the vast sky as the Circle's completion was reached, and a massive dome of incorporeal energy instantly covered the entire area.

Then, from within the swirling blue void that existed within the Circle, something began to emerge.

--Something unnatural.

The being was covered in scales from head to toe--silvery blue scales that were bathed in the white color of the Magic Circle it occupied. It had a muscular form, as well as a massive gait of about three meters.

It had two incredibly massive hands, and its stumpy legs seemed to made up of nothing but muscles underneath those scales.

A tail flapped behind it, also covered in scales, and jagged spikes rose from behind the beast--as if protruding from its spine. It had a bald head, with only one horn, tall and majestic, rising from the center of its forehead, as its eyeless face was raised.

It had a terror-inducing maw, however. Like the teeth of a shark, though several times multiplied within its seemingly bottomless mouth, the terrible jaws of the beast opened a little, releasing drool-like saliva to the ground.

Hunching a little, like an exhausted creature who had a heavy weight on their back, the beast let out a steamy breath as it made its appearance.

It was here, in its full majesty--a creature of abomination and horror.

A Divine-Tier Beast.

"Haaa..." More steam proceeded from its lips as the barrier around the circle ensured it remained right inside it.

Usually, any Summon would be restricted from ever leaving the confines of the Circle until the Summoner or Tamer deemed it so. This was in order to protect the one who called forth the beast, giving them time to hurry to safety, or to bond with the creature.

As such, no creature could ever defy the binds of the circle that surrounded it.

Unless...

~ZZZTTZZZ~

... They were like this one.

The muscular body of the beast passed through the barrier, instantly causing the thing to melt as it came into contact with its scaly skin.

A gust of wind would have offered more resistance than the barrier that was supposed to trap it.

Then, as its two monster-like feet touched the bare ground, finally escaping the grasp of the Magic Circle, the brilliant display of white light finally ceased.

The Circle vanished, revealing the true form of the Divine Beast.

Its silvery-blue scales made it seem more like a fish than a reptile. It also had gill-like openings on its very muscular neck, and tattoo-like markings that covered its entire body--especially its back.

Once its appearance was fully known to those before it, they were finally able to move.

"N-no... you didn't..." Adonis whispered, almost whimpering as his eyes took in the monstrous thing that stood a few steps away from him.

Lucielle, Belle, and Brutus had no idea what kind of creature they were looking at, but they instinctively knew at that moment.
