Attention! Cenatodone has summoned the power of Urgot!

The detestable shape crowed with triumphant laughter before disintegrating into gray scraps of fog. The monster's mutilated sides caked over with an ashy coating that crumbled to the ground almost instantly and started spreading rapidly in all directions.

"Get away from the boss! All melee, fall back!" Amit bellowed into the channel. "Quickly!"

Alas, his command had come a moment too late. Close-combat fighters weren't mages capable of instant teleportation, and the mushrooming gray blob quickly took hold of virtually all the Blades surrounding the boss. And the next second, massive bone spikes shot up from the ground. The collective cry of agony that soared over the meadow at that moment left Max in a daze, as more than one hundred people were ripped apart. He had never seen so much blood in his entire life. The raid channel discharged some astonished swearing, then a pained sob, and finally silence. Drenched in blood, the spikes retracted back in the ground seconds later. The only one to survive them was Allard. Unfortunately, after getting tossed high in the air by the spikes, he couldn't cover himself with a shield, and the heals that landed weren't enough to offset the monster's next blow. The main tank collapsed on the ground, dead. Letting loose a triumphant roar, Cenatodone wasted no time bearing in on the nearby group of druids and priests with speed belying his bulk. There came a series of sickening crunching sounds of bones being broken and bodies mangled. The beast then opened its gullet and disgorged a cloud of toxic gas, extinguishing color from another few dozen icons. Spinning one hundred eight degrees, Cenatodone began lumbering across the meadow toward archers clustered in the distance, the ground groaning under its three-toed paws.

"Fan out in a circle! Maximum damage on the boss! The tanks are all dead! Whoever got aggro has to kite! Everybody, keep a close eye on the aggro list!"

Notes of alarm were now distinctly heard in the normally imperturbable Amit's voice. The archers and casters fanned out in what appeared to be a futile attempt to delay the inevitable.

And things were looking so good! Max lamented to himself. But now the blasted thing will trample everybody down within minutes. We can't keep up damage with any consistency while running around in a circle like headless chickens, and the tanks are all dead... Wait a second—not all the tanks!!!

"Finish off the last add!" he roared into the main raid channel. "Bonbon! Grab that lizard!"

Max felt as though some unseen force gave him a mighty push in the back. Without stopping to consider his actions, the warrior gunned forward to intercept the monster. The boss did not immediately notice the biped rushing at him from the right, but then...

The multiton carcass suddenly froze as the boss' serpentine eyes filled up with blood, as if the Ancient Beast had just come across his Sworn Enemy. Cenatodone brought his head low to the ground and let out a deafening roar.
