Chapter 82: Flame

The bliss that he has been savoring, though, was rather short-lived.

Just like what he had said, it was indeed a fleeting moment.

Perched above a tree, with nothing but underwear covering his body, Lucas looked at the black creature that had just found its way toward him.

The creature, or rather, the beast, was not huge like what he had been encountering so far.

The size appeared normal and rather ordinary.

It was black in color and had emerald eyes. Its face was akin to a lizard, but its body was akin to an overgrown cat or dog.
