'Oh, he noticed them too.' Alex praised inwardly after seeing the direction that Eric had gone after blending with the shadow of the forest.
The kid had moved towards the closest beast that had been stalking them since they entered the forest, the beast was approximately ten meters to their left and was hiding behind a huge tree root.
If one looked closely, one would notice the anomalous dark patch on the ground that moved like a log floating on a stream. That dark patch was Eric who was currently dashing toward the magic beasts.
In this form, his footsteps wouldn't be heard and his movements wouldn't generate any wind. Eric quickly appeared behind the beast that was patiently observing Alex since the second human had suddenly vanished. It knew that other beasts were also around and was waiting for the right time to strike.
Unknown to the beast was that a dark mass of shadow had risen from the ground behind it and formed into the person of Eric.
