The moment Noah stepped into the open, he looked to his side, to where all the humans gathered.
And instantly he saw it.
A man who was pierced through by Pandora's roots. The body was still twitching faintly, blood seeping into the dirt beneath. The display made Noah curious; his expression didn't shift, but his eyes lingered on the sight longer than usual.
There was no reason for her to keep the body restrained like that. The fact that she hadn't retracted her roots told him enough. She wanted it left as a warning.
The humans could feel his presence before they saw him. Heads quickly turned, freezing the moment they noticed his gaze facing them.
Memories of him stripping the creature of its soul haunted them, but even worse…
When the humans were frantically trying to uncover the culprit for Yossef's death, Noah's emergence filled them with a haunting thought.
