Chapter 34. Footsteps of a Monster [3]
"Ouch—!"
Aiden felt a sudden sharp pain near his temple, which pulled him out of daze.
Feeling the area near it with his palm, He felt blood drops frozen and a feather sticking to them.

He plucked up the feather from the blood clots and held it between his fingers in front of his eyes.
