Ardyn's heart pounded wildly in his chest.
He didn't know what to feel at this moment. He remembered the vicious scene of the beastspawns fighting in the clearing earlier, and a shiver ran down his spine.
If they fought that viciously against each other, how much more against mere humans?
He didn't even want to imagine it.
Leon's gaze was fixed on the dark horizon beyond the village, his eyes narrowing as he tried to focus on the figure. The air seemed to thicken with a palpable sense of dread, so heavy it was almost tangible.
The moons cast an eerie glow over the small town, highlighting the beast's features. It was large and unlike anything he had seen before.
Although he hadn't seen many beastspawns in his entire life since he spent most of his time in the castle, he had seen quite a few during long journeys in the carriage, especially at night.
