Despite injuries that should have been fatal, he stood to his full, towering height. His breath escaped in bursts of searing vapor, as if an inner fire consumed his very core. His eyes, a blazing crimson, burned with pure, absolute, inhuman hatred. His fangs gleamed in a grimace twisted by pain and boundless rage.
- "You... will... pay..." he articulated, each word seeming to cost him a superhuman effort, his voice distorted into a guttural echo that resonated against the collapsed walls.
He raised his still-intact fist a mass of muscle and razor-sharp claws and slammed it down with unimaginable force onto the already tortured ground. A shockwave rippled across the blackened tiles, cracking the stone into a complex network of fissures from which acrid smoke curled. The ground trembled under the impact, the remaining fragments of walls swayed dangerously, and even the air itself seemed to vibrate under the effect of his unbridled rage.
- "AKANEEEEEE!"
