The foul-smelling breath ceased abruptly, only to be replaced by a sound that resembled a swarm of maggots feasting on a corpse.
Lorcan could feel a sense of raw terror envelop him just by listening to the sounds alone, as though it was his own flesh being consumed.
Bones breaking with an almost crystalline clarity, blood and flesh being ground together as if relishing in a perverse delight.
Now, regardless of whether Violet was considered cruel or not, listening to this horrifying noise was enough to stop anyone's heart in their tracks.
The only thought dominating Lorcan and Rolin's minds was to make this cannibalistic sound stop.
This growing sense of anxiety and unease unknowingly began to seize control of Lorcan's rationality.
However, this gnawing sound was not merely a noise; it was a mental spell cast by the unseen monster.
Violet was the first to snap out of it. The moment she heard the sound, she sensed something was off.
