Rael, on reaching the first boundary ward sigil, couldn't help but feel baffled and, at the same time, terrified by what he saw.
He saw both Ayobe and Yasmin at the helm of the array, obviously prepared to face this swarm. However, this didn't seem like any ordinary withered swarm.
For unlike others, these didn't attack; they all just stood there, staring from a meter away. There were so many that Rael couldn't even count them; his mind could only come up with rough estimates of eighty to one hundred and thirty withered, if not more.
And this particular swarm was made up entirely of the creatures he hated the most: rats fucking Aether rats now mutated and transformed into hellish horrors by the withered parasites.
