Chapter 582 - The Darkness Takes Form
From the encroaching darkness amidst the faint, hollow, flickering trapezoids that were cast by the sparsely placed half-burnt candlesticks on either side of the rocky wall, Scarlet could just barely make out what seemed to be a roughly humanoid-looking silhouette.
Rough because whilst it had a bipedal, standing posture, the upper half of its body, had some strange peculiarities.
From the distance, as it made ragged, jagged movements as it closed in on the brother and sister duo, Scarlet couldn't make out the finer details as of yet.
"It is coming this way." Scarlet said, her voice filled with a mixture of anxiety, pity, and concern. "We are not ready."
"I know." Was the only response Drake let escape her closed lips, to let something for Scarlet to bite on. His stance was firm, his eyes cold, his expression showing an emotionless, calculating determination.
