The Shadow of Lockmarton

"Vaporize?" Hao Ren and Lily were stunned. "What do you mean vaporize?"

"We don't know what's going on! The monster's been quiet, but it suddenly screamed and—"

Hao Ren interrupted, "Take it into the city immediately! We will meet you outside."

It did not take long before they brought the Shadow of Nightmares to the cathedral. Coming together were Lily's beast guards. With prior understanding reached in the city, the abhumans no longer had to hide outside the city. Their appearance still shocked several clergies in the cathedral. But it was only a minor problem compared to the Shadow of Nightmares.

The monster was indeed vaporizing.

Smoke rose with a hiss as its body gradually turned into gas, and its size shrank slowly at an imperceptible pace. The change was extremely slow, but since it had been going on for a while, Hao Ren could see that the monster was even weaker as it had shrunk by a third compared to before.
