Skills Not Working?
Panic spread like wildfire through the forest as everyone looked at the looming threat with palpitating hearts. They were scared yet thrilled at the same time, but no one was foolish enough to rush headlong into what could be their doom.
The cold grew fiercer as the beast approached. Reyes instructed his guild to move their bodies to prevent freezing, and it seemed to work.
Moments later, there was rustling in the trees. Magical beasts often destroyed everything in their path, but this creature moved with measured steps, almost human-like.
Noticing this, Nox grew more alarmed.
"It's here!" Captain Bofan shouted.
As if on cue, the trees parted, revealing the creature in all its fearsome glory. A collective gasp escaped the onlookers as the beast's pale blue eyes fixed on each of them in turn, momentarily freezing them in place.
