The grotesque sound that echoed through the forest until it reached the city seemed to reverberate in everyone's mind. As if it wasn't just heard but felt. A sound that made the heart tremble and the Qi stir slightly.
"W-What was that?"
"That… was that sound from a beast? No, that can't be a beast."
"What the hell is coming now?"
On the wall, the archers exchanged terrified glances. Kyrian kept his eyes fixed on the darkness beyond the treeline.
His fingers still gripped the bow firmly, but a chill ran down his spine.
'Whatever it is that screamed, I don't think it will fall to arrows.'
After the scream, the chaos in the beast tide took on a new tone. The land beasts that hurled themselves against the walls suddenly went mad.
They began pushing one another, biting, and smashing their own bodies against the moss-covered stones of the wall.
They seemed desperate, as if something even more terrifying was driving them forward.
"They're getting even crazier!"
