Chapter 84: Nexus Node (1)
As the creature that resembled her friend slowly approached, Ember felt a horrible sensation.
The worms spilling from its mouth slithered across the floor, leaving behind repulsive slimy trails, and from the severed stump of its head, new worms constantly emerged.
“Come join us.”
The voice coming from the monster’s mouth sounded like her friend’s, but there was an unnatural tone mixed in.
“Nexus Node is always waiting for you, ‘Green Race’.”
“Nexus Node...?”
The moment she heard those words, a chill ran down Ember’s spine.
With a look of shock, she instinctively took a step back.
Her mind scrambled in confusion.
Until now, Ember had assumed this grotesque being before her was just another product of the Erosion Domain—one of the many inexplicable phenomena occurring across Babel.
Something like a cyber-necromancer, an occult entity of unknown origin, or like the monsters from the outermost edges of Babel that had emerged after the great cataclysm.
But Nexus Node?
