Bab 223: [Hollow Town] [5] [Child]

Upon hearing the singing voice, Azariah's heart skipped a beat.

He had an ominous feeling about it.

Stepping back, he grabbed Nella's hand tightly before a golden thread bound their hands together.

"No matter what happens, stay close to me," he whispered, his voice serious as he looked at her.

She nodded her head, reflecting his seriousness.

The singing voice started to grow louder, the soft melody making Azariah's mind go numb.

Just as he took a step forward, ignoring the melodic chimes, he stopped.

A pair of bright yellow eyes were glaring at him.

He stepped back as the fog slowly parted, giving way to a Redom.

Its body, bigger than most buildings, slowly moved closer.

It brought the skeletal head, which resembled a human torso topped with antlers instead of legs, closer to him.

But as if the melodic voice had an effect on the monster, it ignored their existence completely and walked past them.
