Chapter 84: Close Call

Kace felt the bile in his gut race up his throat as he took in the sight of their assailants. The creatures had the upper half of rotten fish with two long arms that ended with hands that had three digits. A long claw graced the end of each one of them. Their lower half resembled that of a worm. They wriggled around as they protruded from the walls.

Their eyes were pure white. Marking them as blind. Kace realised now why Grugda had been trying to prevent any noise or vibrations. These strange Earthfish creatures clearly used it as a means to hunt their prey. The closest one opened its mouth to reveals rows of sharp fangs.

A strange gurgling noise emitted from its throat before vomiting a yellowish fluid towards him. Kace sidestepped as best as he could in the close environment. The fluid caught hold of the end of his coat. Kace watched on in horror as it quickly melted the fabric to nothing. Leaving a large hole in what felt like a second skin to him.
