Bab 416: Uncanny Beast

Kneeling in front of the crater, she could still see sparks of lightning crackling across the ground.

She didn't know how to describe this feeling except that it was simply uncanny. Like seeing a beast mimic the look of a human but failing.

A human that won't blink, smiles unnaturally wide or their voice and lip movements don't match up.

A creeping dread inside the chest and the feeling of rejection from your own perception.

That was what Alice was feeling.

She saw what the beast was like, she felt its attacks. Yet now that she was looking at this crater… She wasn't so sure anymore.

But the very thought contradicted itself.

Clearly, the being was a beast. It flew in the air, spewed fire and summoned lightning. It cracked open the Void and commanded the lesser beasts. But she wasn't sure if it was a beast or not?

Scratching her hair, Alice frowned in frustration.

"Something wrong?" Selen asked, walking up to Alice.
