Chapter 32 -32-Lady Black Goat
The elderly and the weak were devoured by the spellbeast, yet the villagers who remained showed no reaction. Their faces were blank, their gazes lifeless, as if those who had just been eaten were strangers rather than their own kin.
After the village had fallen under the rule of the spellbeast, any who dared to resist had already been eaten.
Any who harbored rebellious thoughts had also been devoured.
Now, only those who had abandoned all resistance remained.
They had lost all hope.
The power of the spellbeast was overwhelming. The young and strong of the village, including its awakeners, had been slaughtered in an instant when they tried to fight back.
Those who attempted to flee had all been captured—not a single one had escaped.
With no way out, the villagers could only accept their fate.
It was as if they had been born solely to be devoured by the spellbeast.
Some accepted this reality willingly, others with resignation.
To them, becoming food was perhaps the only true liberation left.
