As long as...
Abek slightly narrowed his eyes.
The magic power he emitted detected something.
Sure enough, there's something there.
Just as he thought that, a cluster of vines closest to him suddenly started to tremble, and a shadow emerged from it, instantly lunging at Abek.
So fast!
Abek showed a surprised expression and before he could react, the shadow bit his neck.
"Ahhh!!"
He only had time to let out a scream before his neck was bitten off brutally.
Blood splattered, spraying onto that monstrous face bearing seven or eight mouths.
The monstrous face bit Abek's neck, and the other mouths shouted in unison.
"Visas!"
"Visas!"
"Visas!"
Then these mouths opened wide, squeezing out all other facial features, leaving only rows of dense fangs as if to swallow Abek whole.
But at that moment, the blood that spattered from Abek turned from red to black, as if infected, and his entire being turned into a mass of pitch-black mud in an instant.
"Huh?"
