Here goes nothing!!!

--------############----------------#######

As i watched a shadow approach them, i recalled the tall, humanoid-shaped eggshell back in the nursery area.

‘This… you’re telling me that this is the power possessed by a single monster??’

Eathan ’s complexion paled instantly.

Other and me feeling puzzled finally sensed something was wrong and quickly took a step back from the exit.

“What’s this?”

“Did the termite return here already??”

As  we began falling into a confused state….

From the far side of the ant tunnel draped in darkness, a single winged termite was slowly walking towards the us.

I immediately felt something was very wrong as soon as i saw the  monster leisurely entering the queen’s chamber.

‘There’s… no aura ?’

It was almost impossible to locate the creature without keeping my eyes locked on it constantly; that’s how difficult it was to sense its aura.

There were only two beings out of all the Titan and the monsters i met until now, that had this sort of effect on me . One of them was this termite monster right in front of our eyes, and the other one was….

‘….the imdiego skill.’

I inexplicably recalled how overwhelming the mana is, when i form contact with 'imdiego' a couple of days ago.

What if that man stood in front of me as my guardian? But i need to kill it first and thats is someting i not sure if i can

Shudder.

I couldn’t breathe anymore as a crippling chill ran down my spine.

Just imagining it alone caused my expression to harden considerably. The entrance of this unknown ant monster was definitely not good news for us titan and the city , who were still deeply fatigued from fighting the  queen.

“That thing….”

“Something’s wrong with that monster.”

“It feels really creepy.”

It wasn’t to the extent of Eathan or Mars, but other titan and i also felt a certain sense of incongruence here.

Gulp.

It was just a single monster, yet the atmosphere was shifting rather rapidly.

‘What should we do?’

Milo was inwardly worried. When faced with an unexpected situation, a leader had to make a quick decision. Especially so, when they were pressed for time like this.

‘It’s a monster, so we should just kill it, but….’

But.

Just why was i feeling this enormous sense of unease right now?

While we stood there pondering and hesitating, the  monster narrowed the distance between them quite quickly. Its movements were so eerily quiet that goosebumps automatically rose up on our skins.

‘We don’t have the time to hesitate like this.’

By the time Milo finally managed to suppress the warning bells rung by his instincts and made the next logical decision….

….The monster suddenly disappeared from his view.

“Where?!”

Milo’s eyes opened super-wide as he hurriedly scanned his vicinity. The reactions of me and other titan weren’t all that different, either.
