About 10 minutes later, Lyle and Nicholas were staring at Eric in his room.
Eric, still visibly shaken by Nicholas's demonstration, took a moment to compose himself.
"The aura from you, well, the auras I have sensed from you are not quite like the monster, there is just something off with it."
Eric then started describing the aura he had sensed in more detail. He explained that it felt cold, malevolent, and utterly devoid of any humanity or compassion. It was a sensation unlike anything he had ever experienced before, and it filled him with a profound sense of dread.
Lyle and Nicholas listened intently, absorbing every detail. They knew that understanding the nature of the aura could be key to identifying the creature responsible for the murders and disappearances in Linscht.
"Hmmm ... what you sensed might not have been just the aura of the monster, but also traces of his power," Nicholas said after Eric finished his explanation.
