"Alexander!"
Emily's scream echoed violently through the collapsing chamber.
Time seemed to stop.
Blood spread quickly across Alexander's shoulder as he staggered slightly from the impact.
But even injured—
Even bleeding—
His first instinct was still shielding her.
"Stay behind me," he growled.
Emily's glowing eyes widened in horror.
"No…"
The moment his blood touched the broken floor—
The creatures snapped.
Every single one.
Their glowing eyes turned feral instantly.
The underground chamber exploded into complete chaos.
Roars thundered violently from every direction.
The kneeling creatures suddenly attacked the operatives around them without hesitation.
Screams echoed through the estate.
Blood splattered across the shattered stone floor.
One operative barely had time to raise his weapon before a massive claw tore through him completely.
Daniel shouted sharply,
"Fall back!"
Gunfire erupted nonstop.
The creatures moved impossibly fast now.
Wild.
Uncontrolled.
