Chapter 560 - The trophy

"What in the god's name is that?!" Crone exclaimed looking at the humungous shadow that appeared in the distance. 

Following its bellowing cry, the fierce, savage mercenary that even didn't hesitate to attack Aiden back then, felt fear for the first time since quite some time ago. His legs turned weak, the strength left the strong warrior. His knees gave in and buckled, throwing their owner down on the ground. 

Even the mere act of retaining his grip on the handle of his weapon was proving to be an increasingly difficult challenge. 

"H-how could this be?!" He couldn't understand his own feelings. A single ferocious hungry battle cry from the beast was all it took to disarm him? It was ridiculous, yet it was the truth.

Even his partner in crime, Jai was shivering under the monstrous entity's presence. Yet, unlike Crone, he managed to withstand the fear-inducing effect, albeit not without showing its wear on him.
