59 - The Ghoul [2]

(Raye's POV)

"..."

I was speechless.

I was frozen in place as I felt the strong presence coming from the ghoul.

My forehead started sweating from nervousness.

-...

Pyro was the same, he was unconsciously holding his breath and doing his best not to get detected by the ghoul.

-...

I didn't know what was on Zephyrus' mind, but he was quiet too.

Anyway, I was about to back away and close the door...

-Hm?

When the ghoul spotted me!

"Shit."

I cursed and tried to immediately close the door...

SWOOSH—

"Urgh...?!"

But my body stopped moving on its own as a strong pressure pressed down on me!

-An intruder, huh.

I heard the ghoul say.

'It can talk?!'

I was surprised—ghouls were supposed to be mindless monsters, after all!

Anyway, even in that situation...

I stayed calm.
