The ground broke, and from below emerged a nightmare.
Truly, a being of horror, one you would meet in your dreams, and wish to wake up already, just so you can escape it.
Yet this time, it was not a dream, but reality.
...
How much he wished this to be all a trick in his mind.
But it wasn't.
The monster had returned.
It had decided, it had made its decision, and they had been too late to escape before it did.
'Damn it.' Aether gritted his teeth as he summoned Voidpiercer and stood in front of the others, facing the worm in the face.
Normally, he wouldn't dare do something so stupid, something that gave him no advantage... yet he was the only person who wished not to fight, the only one of its prey it knew would fight back.
Now that he was standing in front, it knew it had to figure out a way to deal with him.
Either through a fight or something else.
The worm screamed, its saliva flying around, landing on his cheek.
But he didn't move.
