They stepped onto the seventh slab and looked at the gateway at the far end. A few moments later, the slab began to shake violently, and the hardened mist moved towards the centre of the slab.
The mist rose and began to spin before taking the shape of a nightmare having jade-like skin with grotesque blue tendrils writhing everywhere. Its upper half was humanoid, its two long hands ending in claws, its lidless eyes were dark blue, and it had two dark horns on its forehead.
Its lower body was that of a spider with its eight legs ending in sharp blades.
Its face had no mouth or nose, hinting at its similarity with the mistwraiths.
The nightmare looked at the six figures before it with its ravenous gaze and began to walk toward them while its eight legs scraped at the ground.
Everyone had terrified looks on their faces as they saw the nightmare making its way towards them.
"D-D rank…" Arden muttered as he froze at his place.
