Bab 304: Unique Creature

Reign brandished his dagger, flicking off the foul black blood that clung to its blade. The miasma absorbed the droplets, hissing quietly as the train moved steadily along the tracks. 

Thinking the danger had passed, he turned to head back inside. Just then, a low vibration hummed through the air. Reign spun around, eyes narrowing behind his blindfold as the miasma above the train parted. 

From the swirling darkness, a disgusting mass of corpses emerged, bound together by a twisted force. Countless eyes dotted the monster, each one glowing a menacing red. It floated above the train, hovering its massive body over him. 

'How can this thing even fly?' Reign muttered, puzzled by the absence of wings. 'Does it have a jet engine at the back? '

The abomination hovered, defying logic. Reign focused, trying to discern how it stayed suspended. The miasma swirled around it, almost supporting the creature like water.
