Chapter 27
The underground reeked of the musty smell of beasts.
A single flame flickered to life in the darkness. Peren flinched as the monster’s fangs glinted in the light.
“Damn it, that scared me.”
Seeing that it posed no threat, she brought the lamp closer to check the state of the creatures. Their necks were properly secured. As long as she didn’t get too close, it would be fine.
Peren walked down the corridor, stopping before the face of a woman with moth eyes, the size of a bust.
“Y-Yuurana?”
Muttering the name of the monster from the childhood horror stories, she once again realized what kind of person the master of this place was.
‘Crazy… I thought adults made up stories to scare kids, but it was real? And he caught this thing by himself?’
Swallowing nervously at the sight of a monster she had dismissed as fantasy, Peren was once again reminded of the power of the man who captured it.
