Kellman effortlessly subdued the village chief.
"Nobody move!" he commanded sternly.
The villagers immediately halted, anger burning in their eyes as they tightly gripped their clubs.
"Let our chief go, damn outsiders!"
"You won't leave here alive today!" they shouted furiously.
Though they were enraged, Kellman had clearly stabilized the situation temporarily.
Howard, getting to his feet, asked, "Why did you poison the food?"
"You Shadow Night Tribe bastards, stop pretending!" one villager spat in anger.
Kellman, still gripping the chief's throat, was taken aback.
Shadow Night Tribe?
He remembered reading about a human tribe in an ancient text, as bloodthirsty and murderous as Night Demons, but they only preyed on their own kind.
Moreover, the Shadow Night Tribe, as mentioned in legends, had disappeared centuries ago.
They were an entity similar to Night Demons in ancient times.
