Chapter 483
A blazing purple glare shone in his eyes. Though the pupils weren't visible, Diana felt the gaze that swept past her for an instant like a burn.
That alone left her frozen, like a frog before a snake. Every kind of death flashed vividly through her mind, but she couldn't even breathe, let alone run. The sheer stiffness in every muscle kept her from falling.
Of course, Ian didn't turn her fears into reality.
"Krrrk...."
He merely parted his pointed teeth, revealed without lips, and once more let out a sound that seemed to gnaw at the soul.
It was natural. In truth, Ian had simply checked on the group's condition. Even now, he was perceiving Seren, who had barely propped up her upper body, the two standing side-by-side, and Moro, which had staggered to its feet, almost simultaneously.
It was right then that Ian reached up and ran a hand over the back of his neck, the sickly green glow fading from his fingers. His eyes narrowed slightly. He realized, for the first time, that his voice was unsuitable for talking.

Instead of answering, Ian, revealing his sharp teeth more clearly, turned. As the tentacles curved forward as if to envelop him, he, having bent his knees, kicked off the ground.
Woosh!
