Just as Kranos was feeling disappointed at the thought of losing the heaven-defying treasure without gaining anything in return, a sharp, piercing cry erupted from the cat, echoing violently through the vast void and resonating for miles.
"No! You! Human! You tricked me!"
Kranos froze, his expression slightly stunned. He turned to look at the cat, which now glared at him with seething hatred in its glowing, narrow eyes. The air turned cold in an instant. A suffocating killing intent enveloped him, heavy and oppressive, causing his body to lock up involuntarily.
"I'm going to die!" This was the only thought that ran through Kranos's mind as the creature suddenly vanished from his vision. In the blink of an eye, it appeared directly in front of him, faster than his perception could react.
The cat raised one of its paws and swiped it toward Kranos's head.
