Chapter 110: Shadow Demon

The demon bore only the faintest resemblance to its human host. Its towering, thirty-foot-tall form consisted of writhing shadows bound together by encircling runes and scattered shards of dark steel. Three-foot-long claws protruded from its many fingers, with an extra arm sprouting above its left shoulder. Most chilling of all was its face, which was entirely featureless.
