Due to deal restructure text to speech player is currently unavailable. Will find a solution soon.
281 – Abyss Siege
Once I’ve seen that the abyss has made it safely down the cliff, I turn to look at Aro and the others. After confirming they’re ready with eye contact, I follow it down the cliff myself.
The cliff is more or less completely vertical, so I descend carefully by digging into the cliff with my claws. The spiders are good at this kind of terrain, as they crawl freely across the cliff face. The lesser treant also moves carefully by spreading its roots.
I notice I can’t spot Aro. Thinking that she’s not coming down, I pause. The abyss zombie doesn’t stop, but I don’t think I need any more guidance from here.
Probably, once I get to the bottom, the abyss nest will be right in front of me. I hear the sound of impacts coming from my blind spot.
I turn my head to see Aro with three arms sprouting out of her back. The arms are each as wide as her head and have fiendishly sharp claws at the ends of their fingers.
To avoid tearing her clothes, she’s pulled back her sleeves to expose her shoulders. Her clothes are originally just picked up rags, so they stretch easily. And then from the gap created by pulling back her sleeves, three arms are extending. It’s quite the grotesque spectacle.
“……Ah”
