These abnormalities were hidden deeply; they neither breathed nor had a heartbeat, nor did they reveal any sense of danger.
They possessed the appearance of humans, with males and females, old and young among them, all with skin blackened, wearing thin clothes, and with crimson eyes.
Like so many corpses, they hid in the various corners of the underground structures.
They evaded the scout team's detection and activated only after the Church branch detected the invasion.
The moment the rear teams drew near, pairs of red eyes snapped open, and from every angle they leaped out, launching an ambush.
They sought to sever the connection between the official teams.
This was one of Ember Church's defensive methods: to use these hidden abnormalities to block invaders underground!
Fortunately, the alert processors swiftly deployed Spiritual Barriers the moment the creatures showed up, protecting their allies while counterattacking.
