Chapter 206: Different kind of thrust
Chapter 206 – Different kind of thrust
The journey towards each domain was far from easy—there were many obstacles along the way, sometimes tied to the very terrain itself because of how treacherous and unstable it was, and sometimes it was related to the beasts, creatures born of pure shadow and hunger.
Eric had been moving through the shadows on his way to Mortis’s domain ever since he had separated from the girls, but—
What a terrible mistake that had been.
The shadows of the Shadow Realm were not ordinary. They were not just absence of light, no—they were living, breathing things, and many among them were beasts. So when you moved through them like you would back in the normal world...
You woke them up.
And when you did that, well—your situation might just end up like Eric’s, who was now surrounded on all sides by shadow beasts in the middle of a forest made of shadows.
The creatures had all kinds of shapes. Some looked like animals, some resembled humans, some were twisted abominations of both, and others... others were so deeply wrong that you couldn’t categorize them in any known logic, as if their very form was birthed from nightmares.
What made them beasts wasn’t just their form, it was the complete absence of mind. There was no reason, no logic, no restraint—only instinct, hunger, and violence.
"First lesson learned. Never travel through the shadows of this realm if you’re not fucking powerful," Eric muttered under his breath as he extended his hand and summoned his weapon—a sleek black sword forged of condensed shadow.
There was no hesitation on his face, no fear, just focus. Deep, unwavering, lethal focus.
