"W-what… what is this…"
Gladious had never felt such an overwhelming presence in his entire life. It pressed down on him with suffocating weight, turning even the air heavy.
And as he met the purple glow in the head hunter's gaze, his entire body locked in place. An absolute voice rumbled through his mind.
"AN INSECT TRYING TO TAKE OVER ONE OF MY VESSELS. HOW QUINT. YOU WILL BE SHOWN YOUR PLACE."
The dome surrounding the hunters exploded outward in a burst of blinding light. A violent surge of energy slammed into Gladious and the elders, tearing through their bodies.
"Hurk!"
Gladious was thrown backward, crashing hard against the ground. A mouthful of golden blood spilled from his lips as he struggled up, his body trembling.
"Wh-what have I done…?"
There was no doubt about it, he had just offended something he never should have. What was that entity? It carried a crushing weight, one that clearly did not belong to this world.
'I have to beg…'
