บท 255: 255. The Silent Hunt (1)

The encounter with the dark entity left a heavy weight on my mind. It was no longer a matter of just the Temple's corruption or the Saint's hidden plight. Something far more insidious was at play, a third force lurking in the shadows—one that felt ancient, powerful, and calculating. It wasn't human, of that I was certain. And now, it was here in Denril, most likely for me.

The implications unsettled me. If it had been lingering in the kingdom before I arrived, then perhaps my presence had inadvertently drawn its attention. On the other hand, if it had followed me here, that was even worse. It meant that whatever this entity was, it had been watching, waiting, and now, it was closing in.
