Chapter 436:...The Abyss Gazes Back At You

A terror unlike any Kain had known before rooted him in place. Every fiber of his being screamed to run, to hide, to do anything but remain where he stood. But he did not move. Could not move.

After staring in his direction for what felt like an eternity, it turned its eyes back forward and continued on its way.

The Demigod being passed him.

'Did it not see me?'

Kain remained frozen long after it was gone, his breath shallow, his body rigid. Then, slowly, he straightened from the rock he hid behind.

Could they not see him?

A realization settled over him. His presence here didn't seem to be detected by the abyssal natives.

With this realization, his fear did not fade. But now, it warred with something else:

Curiosity.

Steeling himself, Kain stepped forward.

If they could not see him, then he would watch. And he would learn more about these creatures who hadn't been seen in centuries.
