Boom!
With a loud explosion, the wooden door—separating the outside and the inside of the warehouse—finally breaks under the relentless force, unfolding the dim view outside!
However, unexpectedly, the enemy that Naib was anticipating to appear was nowhere to be found; instead, only the disturbed grasses and marks from claws greeted their sight, making Naib, who was about to rush and deal a desperate blow to the entity, halt his movement.
"This is bad."
Thinking of it, not expecting that the little monster was more clever than he had initially expected, Naib immediately scanned his surroundings. His eyes focused on the windows above the warehouse as a bad feeling arose deep within him.
Kekeke~
Sure enough, seemingly expecting that the three were waiting through the entrance of the warehouse, an eerie laugh, carrying innocence and mischief, began echoing above the warehouse.
The sound of quick yet heavy movement, originating from the rusty corrugated roof, reverberated throughout the silent place, deepening the unsettling vibe within.
Even without thinking, Naib knew that the one above was the infant from earlier, making his body tense further!
Crash!
While the three were being consumed by the eerie laughter above them, plunging them in fear, the movement above them suddenly halted...
Then, after a momentary stillness, the rusty roof above them suddenly caved in, unfolding a large hole, as an infant that could only be met in one's nightmare dove toward their location with malice.
With eyes filled with hatred and hunger, the entity, while in mid-air, brandished its crimson claws that still had traces of flesh on them!
"RUN!"
Shouting at the top of his lungs, Naib pushed Jerome away with force—away from the latter's initial location—before dashing into the short distance, barely evading the sharp claws of the "Tsanak" by an inch, which saved his life in the process.
Thud—
Hitting the ground, leaving faint marks on the concrete floor, the anger in the "Tsanak" eyes becomes more noticeable upon not hitting a person.
Just standing there alone, its being filled with resentment seemed to materialize around it, spreading like a plague, making the atmosphere unusually heavy.
UWaa!
Then...
Without further ado, gazing at the human in front of it with unprecedented malice, the Tsanak opened its mouth wide, unfolding the densely sharp incisors within that were akin to a grinder before uttering a loud cry.
In an instant, after the cry entered their ears, the minds of the three suddenly became shaken; their vision slightly turned blurry as their control over their bodies weakened considerably.
Naib, who was in front of the Tsanak—only two meters away from the entity—was the most affected, almost losing his consciousness in the process.
Fortunately, knowing that his life was on the line, Naib still managed to viciously bite the corner of his lip, causing it to bleed.
With the intense pain, Naib's blurry mind that was about to plunge into the deep slumber instantly became clear, his vision restored to its original, only to see the Tsanak rushing toward him with a wicked smile.
Shit!
Having no time to evade or time to process thoughts, Naib's body, in the face of death, suddenly moved on its own!
With force beyond what his body could normally muster, his hand, which was holding a rusty knife, suddenly swung toward the Tsanak, who was only feet away from him.
His movement was so swift that the Tsanak, which was in the mid-air—having jumped earlier toward Naib's direction upon uttering its cry—had no time to evade the knife.
It could only watch with wide eyes as the tip of the knife hit the side of its body!
Shriek!
Crash!
With a feeling of hitting a block of ice—inexplicably hard enough but not to the point of being unbreachable—Naib watched the tip of the rusty knife embedded within the flesh of the Tsanak before the being flew in the distance without any resistance, hitting the old wooden chair before falling toward the ground.
Expectedly, even though the being was beyond his understanding, its weight was only comparable to that of an 8-year-old child!
Since that's the case, the strength it could muster should also be limited!
It could be said that, without sufficient weight, one naturally couldn't support a high burst of power.
With that, other than the Tsanak's sharp claws, a cry that could affect one's mind, speed beyond human, and defense that was akin to ice, the entity's overall strength was lower than a normal adult!
It means that they have a chance to beat it if they are careful enough.
...
Uwaaaaa!
At the same time, upon hitting the ground, the Tsanak released a cry of agony, disturbing the spirit of the people around it before touching the deep wound on its side in pain.
Gazing at Naib with palpable anger, the Tsanak, instead of attacking the other party, hurriedly dashed toward the direction of the door, clearly intending to escape, making Naib and Jerome, who had just awakened from the cry of the entity, become dumbfounded.
"Don't let it escape!"
Yelling loudly to mask the fear within his heart upon almost dying, Naib tightly gripped the rusty knife in his hand before giving chase to the Tsanak, understanding that he couldn't let it escape, or else an unknown entity filled with hatred would surely enact its revenge in the future...
Something that he didn't want to experience.
Unfortunately, despite running with all his might, the speed of the Tsanak was on another level. In just two seconds, it was already in front of the door, just about to escape!
Kekeke~
Seeing the entrance in front of it, the Tsanak deliberately halted its movement; with eyes filled with contempt, it looked toward Naib—clearly remembering his face—before rushing toward the outside of the warehouse.
Surely, if it were given an opportunity, it would kill the other party!
Boom!
However, just as the Tsanak was about to step outside the warehouse, a long rusty pipe, originating from beyond the broken door, suddenly greeted its body, propelling its small physique backward in an instant!
"Now!"
Dash!
Seeing this, using the short opportunity presented in front of them when the Tsanak was just about to hit the ground, Jerome and Naib shoot a quick look at Hans in the entrance of the warehouse before swinging their weapon toward the Tsanak...
Planning to end the madness right now!
