The Endgame (1)
Right in front of Skullius was a terrifying figure.
It was eerily similar to the creature with the odachi that he had seen at the beginning, when he had entered the labyrinth with Denille.
Its head hung low, casting a deep shadow on its naked upper torso. Only a pair of dark, old pants sported its lower body, covering its partly atrophied legs.
Half of the creature's arm was a bunch of yellowish, dirty bones that looked to have accumulated a unreal amount of dust while the other was covered in dry flesh that looked to be millennia old.
Its head was akin to that of a mummy; the outline of a skull was visible through the thin layer of flesh that covered its face and its eyes were long gone, leaving only dark sockets.
Even though the thing was seated, the amount of awe it impressed was no less impressive. Visible waves of horrid energy radiated from it, causing to twisting and turn restlessly.
