Inside the hidden passage, the three of them were nearing the end of the route when the space suddenly changed. The walls lit up, seals activated, and the path ahead was completely sealed.
It felt like they had been trapped inside a confined space.
Kayn frowned.
"What happened? What is this?"
"Looks like they've caught up," Daniel said quietly.
At that moment, a deep, powerful voice echoed from behind them.
"Did you really think you could escape?"
The encirclement slowly closed in.
Dozens of armored demons surrounded Daniel, Kayn, and Melia, holding spears and blades, their eyes shining with bloodlust. The pressure of their auras stacked on top of each other, making the air heavy, so heavy that even breathing felt harder.
Melia took a step back. The color drained from her face, and she instinctively clutched her clothes. She thought they had finally managed to escape the demons.
So why?
Why were they surrounded again?
Was this really their fate, to be killed by demons?
