Chapter 87

The beast, or whatever it was, looked like no recognizable animal, or any beasts I'd ever seen or heard of. It looked like a mass of sickly white flash with disfigured head and long tentacle-like limbs. Its mouth gaped wide open and as it let out another screech, I had to press my hands to my ears as my entire body shook. That was a mistake, as I had taken my attention for the abomination and just as I looked back up I felt one of the limbs smack into my side and send my flying a dozen feet away. I let out a cry of pain as I rolled across the ground.

"Aiden!"

I coughed and raised my head just in time to see Misty jump on the back onto the abomination, her eyes full of pure hatred and fury and her fingers tipped in her aether claws. She tore into its back, but no blood or viscera sprayed. Its flesh was torn, but it seemed to regrow at a rapid pace.

"That's not going to work," Zirani said.
