The High Priest blinked in confusion.
In a matter of a split second, several thoughts echoed inside its mind.
How did this human suddenly appear inside the temple?
Why hadn't the stone angels sensed him?
Why had it not sensed his arrival?
The answer to that…
It did not matter.
"BLASPHEMY!!"
The antlered werewolf shot forward like a bolt of lightning, its claws clamping around Adam's neck like a pincer.
Before Adam could even react, the enormous beast ripped him from atop the statue, forcing him down from his perch before slamming him against the wall behind it.
Boom!
The impact shook the entire temple. Stone cracked beneath Adam's back as the werewolf pinned him against the wall, its claws digging into his neck with terrifying strength.
"How… dare… you?!"
The werewolf growled in fury.
Meanwhile, Adam's eyes had widened in shock. A trace of fear flashed in those deep tenebrous pools. The wind got knocked out of his back in that instant, and he struggled to breathe.
