89 A Living Nightmare

Six legs sluggishly crept into the tension that sifted through the air as the gate swung open.

Inside wafted with eerie silence, it could be seen that the monsters were currently being extremely cautious.

The colossal monster strotted in slowly, as if to intentionally add to the tension that was already pressing the atmosphere.

Nothing could be seen attached to the beast of burden. Usually, it would have links of chains connected to it and clink with each movement but this time around, it moved alone.

Each monster had their claws out, poised for a strike, they all bent in a way that showed they suspected that something was wrong and were ready to lunge themselves.

The shelled critter fully entered the walls of the castle and stopped. Two bipedal monsters moved to close the gate however before they could as much make a noise.

Their throat was slit and body hidden away.

The gate was not closing.
