The Celestial Devourer opened its jaws and inhaled. The Nether Lanterns, the blood red ribbons, the axes, the icy wind, every last one vanished down its throat, and with them the gray-robed elder and his three companions were dragged helplessly into the void.

“Help me!” The woman in crimson flung out blood-red ribbons to anchor herself to the shattered floor, but the Celestial Devourer slapped one paw down, pinning the ribbons, and her, before sweeping both straight into its cavernous jaws.

The shirtless giant hacked his battle-axe at the creature’s talons; the blade vanished as though it had plunged into water, and an instant later, axe and man were swallowed without a trace.

The Ravenousor Wraith sensed its natural nemesis, loosed a terrified roar, and tried to slip into the void, only for the Celestial Devourer to clamp its fangs around the specter’s neck.

The black mist that formed the wraith’s body was chewed contentedly between those teeth, and the hundreds of emerald beams shooting from its eyes could not scratch a single silver scale.

Nearby, the fire unicorn trotted back to Jared‘s side with its head lowered in awkward shame.

It spent every day sharing Jared’s Storage Ring with the Celestial Devourer, yet in a real fight, everyone still counted on the Celestial Devourer, it couldn’t help Jared at all.
