"Slap, slap——"
Sonice's feet slowly pressed onto the damp forest mud, making slight sounds.
Just as she was about to reach the rocky location of her target.
"Whoosh——"
A sudden, slight sound of wind came from behind her.
Sonice spun around quickly like a startled bird, thinking it was just her own false alarm, but as her gaze landed on a certain spot behind her, her eyes froze.
Deep within the dim primordial forest, a familiar humanoid mecha emerged quietly like a ghost.
Its increasingly massive body blocked the already scarce weak skylight overhead.
On its deep blue, nearly black body, a thick darkness seemed to spread, devouring all surrounding light and casting a large shadow that completely enveloped Sonice.
The Deep Blue Mecha stopped a few meters in front of Sonice, lowered its head, and looked at her silently.
A silent yet overwhelming pressure filled every corner of the forest space, silencing the sounds of insects and birds; the air was still as death.
