After hearing the piercing scream, there was a silence in the shadows. Then, moments later, there was a splotchy sound of flesh hitting stone.
The noise felt like it had come straight from hell.
At first, the sound was wobbly and unsteady, like a child just learning to walk. But that was only the beginning.
Once it became familiar with moving, it started to speed up, charging out from the darkness.
Blood and flesh, more blood and flesh, for the sake of breeding offspring, it needed nutrients and a new host!
The monster devoured the unconscious mercenary on the ground without hesitation, and after a difficult swallowing, its body swelled significantly.
But still, it wasn't enough, it needed more. It needed everything edible!
The light from the distant dungeon exit brought fear to it. Compared to the light, it was more familiar with darkness. Stepping into the sunlight felt like entering a whole new world.
