Chapitre 1048: Inner Layer

Emery and Klea followed the spiraling path, made their way down below, and found themselves arriving at the second layer of the forest. 

As soon as they arrived, both of them felt a sensation as if dozens of eyes were waiting for them from beyond the dark treelines within the unknown shadows. It felt uncanny.

Due to the eerie atmosphere, the two of them subconsciously drew closer to each other.

"What are we facing this time?" Klea asked Emery to check the data given by the magus guard they met earlier.

Doing as asked, Emery scanned the data before saying, "It should be a Marrow Gnawer."

Klea's eyebrows rose slightly at the name. "What kind of creature is that?"

Before Emery could explain, one of the creatures they were talking about appeared among the trees. It was a hunchback figure with dirty gray fur and spikes at the back of its body. The sight of its gruesome face would certainly make goosebumps for those who see it.
