Chapter 190
Aiden had sensed something was wrong minutes ago.
Even when the One-Tailed Scorpions and Two-Tailed variants burst into the open battlefield, his instincts kept screaming—something wasn't right. Something deeper than danger. It felt as though his primal intuition had been forcibly suppressed, muffled, and that in itself was terrifying. That sense had saved his life countless times, yet now it was as if it had been snatched away.
But the moment the Three-Tailed Scorpion Beasts emerged—grotesque, monstrous things, their thick carapaces glinting under the flickering warfires—he understood why.
Their presence.
It was suffocating, like a massive weight pressed against his soul. Though he couldn't be entirely sure, Aiden felt it was their aura—so overwhelming, so unnatural—that it disrupted his instincts altogether.
But there was no time to ponder.
These beasts weren't just powerful. They were menaces.
