The Golden Knight vanished.
Time began to move again, releasing every hunter from the strange stillness that had frozen them in place.
Ethan found himself sitting exactly where he had been moments ago, beside Luna and Raiden, as if the meeting with the Golden Knight had never happened at all.
Like a dream.
No… more like a nightmare.
But the creature he had seen approaching from the distance was no illusion.
It was real.
And it was coming for them.
Cold sweat covered Ethan's body as he snapped his head from side to side, panic written clearly across his face.
Raiden and Luna immediately noticed something was wrong. Both of them spoke almost at the same time, asking what had happened.
Ethan ignored them completely.
His bloodshot eyes stayed fixed somewhere far away before he suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs—
"What the hell do you mean one minute?!"
His roar startled everyone in the camp.
Then Ethan realized the truth.
It was not even a full minute anymore.
