Chapter 317

The girl's heart skipped a beat as she caught sight of the humanoid figure in the distance. Its unnaturally smooth features devoid of facial details sent a shiver down her spine, and she quickly fell silent, her voice trailing off into a tense hush. The rest of Rose's team, attuned to the sudden shift in atmosphere, followed suit, their senses on high alert.

The faceless creature stood motionless amidst the trees, its presence a stark aberration against the backdrop of the forest. Rose signaled for her team to remain still, her eyes fixed on the enigmatic figure. The air around them seemed to constrict with an unspoken dread, each member grappling with the unsettling sight before them.
