บท 228: Creatures of the Abyss

Never before would I have imagined such a thing was possible. This monster seemed to be breaking some fundamental law of nature. It was simply too unfair!

In what way was this allowed? 

How was I supposed to beat it if it could undo everything? And how exactly was it doing it? 

I recalled the odd sentence Sensei had said about the creatures and tried to make sense of it.

They despised light, but they were drawn to its power. What else was this light except for our magic? 

It made sense why they wanted to capture Sylrin and I so much. With his abundant flame magic and my dazzling snake looks, we made quite the catch. 

Perhaps the torment the shadow creature was inflicting on these creatures was a form of magic transference. 

Yet, it didn't explain how the other monsters that came after us got their due. Sensei was quieter than usual, which made me suspect he knew something about them.
