Hanping Prefecture.
This was the third massive Ghost Tide.
North City.
In the bitter cold of the twelfth lunar month, a grating, teeth-clenching hissing noise suddenly erupted from the city walls. When a guard peeked over, what he saw was an indescribable monstrosity...
It was a grotesque creature patched together from various furs and rusty metal...
Many legs, many hands...
Somewhat human, somewhat tiger, somewhat rabbit, somewhat snake, but overall it resembled a spider.
Leather Spider!
This abomination was scurrying along the city wall at a terrifying speed, cracking and denting the huge stones of the wall with each step, propelling itself upward by leaps each time, reaching the top in a mere instant.
And in the sky, there were Leather Spiders with wings.
The soldiers defending the city reacted instantly, bellowing to embolden themselves while rushing forward with their spears. Their role wasn't to kill the Ghost Servants, but to act as a buffer.
