Chương 167: Impervious Will

The light from the crystals scattered sporadically across the Middle Stratum's roof illuminated the cliff's wall and the bulbous body of the hideous worm.

Our movements must have alerted it and its harsh shriek reverberated across the cliff wall as it sped towards us with a maw filled with spiked teeth. 

While I knew it was weak, I was more concerned with the monsters below that could have heard its cry.

The dark fae buzzed around my horns in panic, urging me to climb faster when she saw the worm approaching, even though she could easily fly away from harm herself. It was adorable how she often forgot she had wings. 

[We'll be fine, it's weak.] I assured her.
