Bab 162: Gods and Dragons

"CURSED HUMAN CUB, WHY HAVE YOU COME TO MY DOMAIN?" Sumaru's voice thundered through the still night, his ancient wrath reverberating across the snowy landscape.

Hours had passed since Sumaru first laid eyes on the young man, and yet the ominous feeling gnawing at him refused to subside.

The human before him exuded an unsettling aura, one that disturbed the natural balance of his domain.

Sumaru had watched the human intently during those hours, hoping to discern whether the darkness that marked him was a mere anomaly or something far more dangerous.

He had allowed the young man to wander, observing his every action.

Sumaru even waited for the Dungeon of the Stars to manifest, its celestial light known to illuminate and purify those touched by darkness.

As the dungeon's ethereal glow bathed the landscape, Sumaru watched closely, searching for any sign that the light might cleanse the human of the darkness clinging to him.
