Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two bloody shadows flashed through the air and swiftly returned towards the entrance of the passage, with the White Stone Plaza almost within reach.
Rumble...
From the air came the sound of a huge mass slowly moving, compressing the airflow.
From the direction of the Water Vortex exit, the light suddenly dimmed. The next second, a gigantic face blocked the passageway. It was a silent, cold, serpentine-like armored head that seemed covered with a mask etched with fierce and rigid lines, faintly emitting a brutal and bloody aura. Two intensely scarlet lights flared up, resembling searchlights scanning the interior of the tunnel. It was as if a giant carelessly dug through the mud to peer at two ants within an anthill.
Greatness and insignificance, power and frailty, cruelty and despair...
That oppressive sensation that solidified the air made it nearly impossible to breathe.
