Chapter 54: Abnormal Demonic Phantom

----

Although the deep-red eyes surrounded by pitch-black sclera that fell upon Kieran were diabolical, he didn't retreat in fear. Instead, he felt curiosity.

This being was unlike the dysmorphic figure that resided within the darkness. This phantom was blessed with a monstrous physique, defended by an exoskeleton exuding infernal heat. It was hard to tell in the current conditions, but it seemed like molten flames flowed through this exoskeleton.

Kieran could only infer that this being before him was one of the demons Agrianos mentioned. However, Agrianos helped Kieran understand the crux of their current situation.

"That isn't a genuine demon. It's more so a phantom, if you will. The seal still prohibits any real demons from trespassing into this realm. So what you see now is a manifestation of the power a demon can send through without killing themselves," Agrianos revealed.
