Reid continued forward and weirdly enough, even though this place was closer to the mother, he hadn't encountered any Voidspawns.
His answer came in an instant—his body moved on instinct, sword rising just in time to block an incoming strike.
"You blocked that," a voice murmured from the shadows "that's unexpected."
Reid didn't even get a chance to identify the direction in which the voice came from before another attack slammed into him, this time with a lot more force.
The force hurled him back, sending him crashing into one of the cave walls.
"Papa!" Beel's panicked voice came.
Reid gritted his teeth as pain shot through his body. He had seen none of the attacks, only managing to block due to his instincts.
The attacker finally revealed itself and like expected, it was a Voidspawn-possessed officer.
This one looked almost completely human, even its skin wasn't ashen like the others, but the black veins were still present.
