The first point William noticed was the slow movement that danger had. On top of that, the way it ran wasn't similar to any monster he knew of. If anything, it felt more humane than monstrous.
What made William more puzzled was his inability to see through what was coming. All he spotted was a dark cloud of black fog that surrounded something in a diameter of ten metres and a height of three. It felt less than any monster he faced, and it didn't match any monster he ever knew or heard of.
And yet, he didn't lower his guard. He held his sword up high and was ready to use any of his two techniques. He was even ready to take out his flying weapons and deploy his monstrous pets if needed.
But something entirely different appeared, something far scarier than monsters; a Hybrid between a human and a monster, one of the rarest forms of life in the upper realm. One of the most dangerous beings in this world.
