Hiss——!
The eerie hissing sound echoed through the gray-blue corridor.
A colossal, pitch-black bat monster that almost touched the ceiling surged across the corridor, its rough skin scraping against the walls and creating a grating noise.
Herard peeked out from a room with the door open and watched as the dark monster disappeared, his expression somewhat grim.
He turned to the empty gray-blue corridor on his left and cursed silently!
"Useless things, they still haven't brought Colin over!"
When Silear approached him initially, he was confident. But now, it was taking so long just to bring someone over!
Herard looked around: the gray-blue corridor was completely empty, which unnerved him.
"Could it be that Silear has been killed by the dark monster?"
It wasn't impossible. Although most of the higher-ranked monsters gathered on the upper floors, some still made their way to the lower levels.
