A deep sound came from the center pit.
Then the blood grooves on the ground moved.
The stone wall ahead cracked.
CRACK!
The crack spread across the wall in front of them.
Then a hand pushed out from inside.
The skin was gray, but red lines crawled under it. Half of its body was fused with formation stones.
It pulled itself out of the wall.
Its face was made from several faces pressed together.
The mouths opened one by one.
"Return."
The civilians screamed.
Rovan's face tightened. "What the hell is that?"
Beatrice stared at it. "How could I know!?"
The creature's heads turned toward her.
All its eyes focused on her wound.
Rovan saw it and immediately moved in front of her.
"Of course it wants you."
The creature rushed forward. Its speed was much faster than the infected.
Rovan pushed Beatrice back and swung the metal bar.
BAM!!
The bar hit the creature's arm.
The arm bent, but it did not break.
The creature slapped Rovan away.
Rovan crashed into the wall.
