Chapter 52: The Fragment.
Eventually, curiosity took over me, and I peered at the source of the harrowing sense of danger. And when I did—
’Curses!’
I couldn’t help but take in a cold, deep breath. My expression darkened.
The creature was otherworldly, a nightmarish creature that defied all sense of reason. Its towering menacing form was reminiscent of a nightmarish scavenger, but if only grotesquely amplified.
Its stone-like armor was bright crimson- not only that- but some parts of its towering form were a mixture of crimson and dark—a darkness that sent cold chills slithering down my spine.
The creature’s hands were dark-blue, their allure strangely mesmerizing—yet no one doubted that beneath that allure lay something hauntingly menacing.
...Something we would do well to steer clear of.
The stoneikz stood like a colossal sentinel, its presence casting the space before it into an endless darkness. Without a doubt, it was a nightmarish aberration crafted out of one’s worst nightmare.
And perhaps, something far worse.
"Hah..."
Digesting the grotesque image before me- and succeeding in satiating my stupid curiosity- I immediately hid behind the rock, chest heaving up and down as my hands trembled violently.
