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

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.
