章 392: Light and Darkness - Part 10

Zeke's lips lifted in one corner. "As you wish, goddess."

Obediently, Zeke moved away gracefully from her and sat atop the piled-up corpse of the centipede-like monster he had killed earlier. He settled there like a king on his throne, legs parted, resting his elbow on one knee and his chin in the palm of his hand.

"I'll stay here and watch, Alicia," he continued, gazing gently at her.

Alicia turned her attention to the approaching threat, her glowing form a stark contrast to the encroaching darkness. The monstrous shrieks grew louder, but she stood her ground. The fact that her man was watching gave her an extra surge of strength.

The monster emerged from the fog, grotesque and menacing, its many eyes reflecting the eerie light of Alicia's glow. Alicia was almost taken aback because well… this was nowhere near 'a little big'. This monster was huge!!! Bigger than the ones they had encountered before!
