Nobody dared to breathe.
The voice was soft.
And yet, the moment it sounded, it almost felt as though something was crawling at the back of their necks, inching closer and closer to their ears.
It was also at that moment that the 'clicking' returned.
Click!
The tension in the room reached an all-time high; every person was frozen in place, hardly daring to even look at each other, while the repetitive clicks of the keyboard echoed through the air like a ticking clock.
Click. Click... Click!
There was no time to even think.
It was like each click resounded with the beat of their own heart.
The creature that stood before them...
'Just what is it!?'
'H-how can something like this...!'
'I... I...'
Several covered their mouths, unable to calm their nerves as their legs shook under the sheer tension of the situation.
They were all elites.
At least, a major part of them were.
And yet—
'I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe!'
'H-help...!'
