บท 414: Entering the city (2)

When Erik turned his attention to the opening in the door, he discovered something that had changed since the last time he was in this location.

When he thought he had barely escaped a month ago, the aperture was noticeably larger than he had recalled.

He looked over the wrecked entrance, scrutinizing it as his gaze moved from the ripped metal to the towering dimensions of the door.

A chilling realization dawned upon him - despite being larger, the opening was still too small for the behemoth of a thaid to pass through.

A cold shudder ran down Erik's spine as the gravity of his earlier predicament sank in. He had escaped death by a hair's breadth, the size of the opening in the door being his unexpected salvation.

He had been chased, cornered, and yet, by some stroke of luck, he had managed to survive the encounter.
