Chapter 152 The Most Dangerous Opponent

The ground beneath them seemed to erupt as vile, twisted creatures emerged as far

as the eye could see, bringing with them a stench that was so overpowering a

mult*itude of hands flew upwards to cover their faces with the masks of their attire as

they gagged violently.

The rotting flesh of the gargantuan beast that seemed to detach itself from the

mountainside rippled disgustingly as it lumbered towards them, vile fluids oozing from

the open sores and dripping down onto the ma*s*s of creatures swarming below it.

scene that looked as though it had been ripped straight from a horror movie unfolded

before them.

In seconds, the Enclave’s guards sprung into action. Those that couldn’t shift readied

their weapons and offensive magick as the sound of breaking bones whilst the shifters

cacophony of grunts and otherworldly shrieks, punctuated by the snap of bones and

hum of magick in the air, the only human sounds were the hastily shouted orders and

the manic laughter that seemed to spring incessantly in their ears.

dangerously as it arced through the air in a murderous rampage.

The guards rushed forward, engaging the a*s*sailants head-on, the predatory shifters

savaging those that dared to come within reach as bursts of magick were fired

overhead, decimating the ranks of the creatures that swarmed them.
