Army of the Night Marchers, Hidden In Darkness

Clank... Clank..! Clank!

"Can anyone else hear that strange noise?" One of the 9th Division members, Champion, commented.

"Huh? I thought I was just imagining things, but—you can hear it, too?" Revel frowned.

"Yeah, whatever it is, it sounds like it's getting closer," Champion said with furrowed brows.

"Everyone, remain alert! Something is coming this way!" Niflheim called out.

He then said to himself, "I guess asking for the element of surprise while storming through the front door was a bit too much to hope for."

Clank!

Niflheim, who positioned himself at the vanguard, caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a foot made of bone peeking out from the darkness and into the light that was being illuminated by one of the nearby magic casters.

The next moment, a strange creature stepped out of the darkness and fully into the light as Niflheim was finally able to get a good look at it.
