Chapter 23- Dammit, stand still!

Eva leaned against the wall, healing her wound, when she felt the surroundings suddenly become eerie silent.

She quickly turned her head to Ethan and Julian's way only to meet such a hair-raising scene.

The ants parted, leaving the middle open. They bowed their heads in unison as if acknowledging a terrifying presence.

Eva stood, her hands gripped her sword tightly, her eyes fixed on the enormous approaching shadow.

"Eva, stay back! Take your potions," Ethan ordered. Their casual demeanour vanished, replaced by razor-sharp focus.

Their auras made it hard for her to breathe, It was at this moment she knew why people held fear and respect for them.

Eva quickly got used to their pressure, but her heart ran cold when she glimpsed the huge red armoured ant; its body gleamed under the crystal light.

Black poison mist seeped from its mouth, blanketing the area, Eva felt like an ant in front of this ant.
