Looking straight at the horde of shadow beasts in front of him, Kenji felt an overwhelming urge to pee in his pants. His legs quivered and shook, betraying his mind’s desperate command to move.
Fear gripped him tightly, like an unrelenting vice that refused to loosen its hold. He was frozen in place, his breath shallow and rapid, his heart pounding in his chest like a war drum.
"Kenji!" Shreya’s voice sliced through the deafening veil of his terror.
"Run!" Her desperate cry jolted Kenji back to life. He summoned every ounce of strength he had, his body protesting against his fear, and turned the other way, fleeing in the opposite direction as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Rarrrah!!"
The hideous, figureless beasts roared in unison, their anger palpable as they rushed after Kenji with terrifying speed. Their movements were unnatural, like shadows gliding across the ground, merging and splitting apart in haunting synchronization.
Kenji’s legs burned with exertion, swinging with immense force and strength through the air. He pushed himself harder than he ever thought possible, the adrenaline coursing through his veins like fire.
But the beasts were relentless.
Their blood-red eyes glimmered ominously, glowing with malice as they pursued the human who dared to escape them.
