The entire area was fully packed with ghouls. To proceed, Josh had to push his way forward. Every time he touched one, he had to refrain from wincing in disgust.
He could feel his palm sink slightly into their wrinkled skin, and the smell was atrocious. The sheer proximity of all these creatures somehow made their auras even stronger. It felt like it became liquid anguish, and he was almost drowning in it.
Josh could feel his hands tremble as he kept getting the urge to kill them all. But, he kept lightly pushing them aside as if afraid to hurt them. Well, he kinda was.
As he finally exited the pack, he was welcomed by a golden light that slowly drifted toward the middle of the circle. It then entered the Boss that was standing there, eyes closed.
