While Lind heard more screams, he killed 3 more Fiends. They were no longer the hunters, but the prey!
Still, he felt off. The Fiends actually looked terrified of something but he felt no danger at all save from them.
The words of the female Fiend stuck in his mind. Before she died, she had told the man he had been warned. Warned of what?
The forest had not reacted much to them but they had not gone too deep. He had heard Fiends avoided it but not the specifics.
What was killing them? The ones he killed were consumed by their energies per normal but he found pristine corpses from time to time. They looked terrified in death.
He felt nothing inside them. They were just perfectly preserved husks!
He could not reveal his aura or the remaining Fiends might aim to trip up their trap even at the sacrifice of their lives.
The chaos went on for the night and he realized there was another party in the forest! How many Fiends had come?!
