A nine-foot-long and 3-meter tall golden lion appeared in the middle of the room following Cedric's, who's disguised as Derrek, whistle.
The beast has a thick golden coat, shimmering and oozing with power and heat. Its mane was like a fiery shoal of golden fire, dancing mystically as the lion snarled and bared its teeth at the cultists.
This was none other than Aurelion - the Radiant Sunlion and Cedric's companion beast. He had grown up in a terrifying existence much like his master. Although he's only Tier 6, thinking that he's weak would be a terrible mistake for his enemies because just like his master, Aurelion was Aurelion, he's not his Tier.
The intimidating presence of Aurelion already frightened some of the cult members, even more so when they felt the scalding heat he was releasing. They could feel the corruption within them reeling in pain and fear as if it met an element that could kill it, and that's not wrong.
