Everyone watching, both in the forest and across the region, wondered the same thing.
However, before the tension could reach a boiling point, a chill gripped Malakai.
His gaze constricted.
'No…'
It was a familiar feeling, one he could never mistake, even in his dreams.
'Darkness creature.'
Many who knew Malakai would have been confused. Why would Malakai, of all people, be wary of a darkness creature?
That was the misconception. It wasn't a darkness creature.
It wasn't singular.
Right now, Malakai felt like every inch of him had been doused with icy water. The chill came from everywhere. From every part of the forest.
It wasn't just one.
'It's an army.'
A quake rumbled beneath them.
The gazes of the Veins and the watching youths dropped to the ground. It was shaking.
"Huh? What's happening?"
"I don't know. The ground is shaking."
"Guys! I think something is approaching here!"
