Bab 123: Is something behind me?

POV ???:

A human wearing chainmail and tightly gripping a sword with both of his hands stood in the forest, heavily panting, sweat running down his temple from under his metallic helmet, reflecting the red light filling the whole forest.

Tall trees covered everything with their large shadows, hiding the starry sky, allowing only the red demonic light to enter.

Suddenly a sound of cracking wood came from a distance. The soldier quickly turned his head, his eyes growing in panic with his whole body trembling.
