CHAPTER 10: A DEVASTATING ENCOUNTER

When the monstrous woman is approaching them, in the horror rictus of a cry drowned in an omitted voice that dies in the throat and eyes reflecting the beast near them, humans have their weapons in their hands, however, it is as if they cannot move, there is no spell on them , it's fear.

Being closer to the woman, DWYER manages to move his arms wielding his weapon, trying to defend himself from the beast, which throws his snakes from his head towards them, right now, he hears a sharp catcher, coming from the entrance, the beast turns in the direction of the entrance and can see that the faucet that was a couple of the leader of the group , MUSTELUS, boldly pounces against her.

MUSTELUS fiercely attacks her, grabbing her with her powerful claws and stung her neck fiercely on the left side.

Behind him.

More faucets and two phoenixes arrive from the group in which they came, including HAFU.

Most of the protectors had heard their screams.

One of the phoenixes sees his friend MUSTELUS wreeping with pain, while the beast gives anger, the noise is dreadful and sound, the beast relaxes the wound with its snakes on its head, the poor faucet strains its body for the last time and is lifeless.

That monster still stands and full of fury, pounces against the phoenix, which reacts away from it, the phoenix shines so brightly as if it were a flame and rests its breath on that beast, its breath envelops it in flames, which make it throw a strays of pain, whips on the pillars and the ground trying to extinguish those flames , without succeeding, the beast flees into the cavern. You can still see the flame light that envelops the monster for a few moments, eventually disappearing into darkness.

Humans, out of danger, throw themselves to the ground on their knees fainted by shock.

While some of the protectors guard the entrance to the cavern, two of the faucets pull their brother MUSTELUS' body out of the temple.

Humans have to be helped out of the temple, they are visibly emotionally affected, it has been a terrifying experience, this is the new world, full of evil beasts.

HAFU keeps a close eye on the councillor.

After pulling out the dead faucet, the humans come out, and finally, the ones watching the cave.

The new world is an unwanted place.

They certainly knew it would be dangerous, they were prepared for violent things, but they didn't expect it to be a massive loss of comrades.

From the other island you can hear barely audible cries, coming from the ruins of the temple of that land. they agree to wait a little far from the temple, they carry the body of the faucet to the shore of the island, there will remain the phoenix that attacked the monster, taking care of MUSTELUS and humans, everyone else ventures to the aid of the other group.

The other members of the group accompanying the humans who entered there also arrive.

In addition to four others who had gone to the third island with their riders.

All alert protectors come in.

Inside the temple, you see a show similar to that of the other island, the temple looks quite deteriorated, the floor stained, they look like old traces of blood.

The pillars between them range from 3 meters away, so it is not easy for some to move freely.

The atmosphere smells rotten.

And they manage to smell fresh blood at the end of the temple.

The protectors hasten the passage, they know their humans are wounded.

Along the way as they move forward, a faucet tells the other protectors about the horror they found in the other temple.

Everything takes on a severely gray tone.

Human cries are heard drowning, less and less intense.

Protectors go as fast as they can.

Arriving at the end of the temple, they find all humans mutilated, with body members separated from the torso, including amputated hands and... surrounded by them, there is a grotesque being at the end of it, it is a humanoid monster, resembing a giant caterpillar with sunken eyes, its skin is grayish, viscous, wild-looking and snakes by hair.

The beast is eating part of a human torso, making a shocking noise as it is tearing the skin, pulling it with its teeth and chewing.

That being, communicates with them with growls, is calm, noticing that there are many, he begins to notice his anger in his face that is transforming until he almost disfigures himself as he growls.

Seeing that these are still, their eyes shine and cause a paralyzing effect on humans.

The faucets will attack that beast, the faucet that told them about the temple stops them, the comrades of the last group, asks them to leave with the humans who accompany them, reminds them that, the companion MUSTELUS, died having contact with the blood of that beast.

If they assault this beast, maybe the same thing will happen.

As the phoenixes menacingly surround the beast from the direction to the entrance, the beast looks like the others are escaping from the temple.

Feel the urge to attack them being interrupted by the fire of some of the phoenixes, the body of the beast is lit on fire and gives dreadful lured, fleeing between the pillars of the temple towards a hole in the wall, in which it enters, escaping into the darkness.

Everyone rushes out of the temple with humans, the phoenixes come after them, either outside the temple, they agree to go and meet with the others.

The members of the group of riders and two faucets who had been in the temple separate to go to the temple where the rest of their group is, in the large temple.

For their fortunes, there were no monsters in this temple, they only found human beings with legs instead of legs and horns on their heads, they live in the temple, and hid from them when they saw them coming.

As these small beasts like a human is very agile, they walked away and could not have contact.

When they manage to reunite with the others, the two faucets tell them about the tragedy that happened, that said.

The two leaders of those groups perished, so the leader of this group, BRANCHI, gives the order to meet with others.

No doubt, from what you could see, the new world has a lot of science to learn, but it's also too deadly for the exploration team.

For now, they have gathered valuable information, although the result was too costly.

They agree it's time to go back.

The other groups of 50 will come back when prudent.

Councilman DWYER is concerned, well knows that once he returns, he will no longer be able to return to this new world because of the serious danger to which he was exposed.

Their weapons were powerful, but so were those beasts.

After much thought, he decides that his desire to see the world is stronger than his fear... than that fear that he freed his blood in the temple. Yes, he felt helpless.

Despite carrying powerful weapons, they turned out to be inef practice, against that beast.

As soon as the team meets with them, DWYER asks HAFU for the opportunity to team up with another group, so that they can continue to travel.

HAFU disagrees, however, it will support it if it manages to convince the group leader.
