Chapter 48

There, in the middle of a battle-ridden landscape lay the corpse of what looked like a pterodactyl...

Its eyes were completely hollow not an ounce of flesh could be seen still sticking onto the bones of the creature.

From how its bones were aligned and scattered, it looked like its organs had been violently ripped out of its body, and destroyed with such a large difference in power that it had taken only seconds to pick it apart.

The creature's wings looked like they were probably made out of a thick membrane, but at the same time, they contained long jagged bones which went down and reached the end of the wings, probably even sticking out as if they were sharp little daggers.

Its head was elongated, and its talons were like three sharp hooks attached to the end of its legs.

This was the same flying creature that had killed the lizard-like beast that had ripped off my arm...

'Holy sh-'

Before I could curse, I heard a distinct rattling in the distance, making my entire being freeze before my head seemed to regain enough energy to finally look back.

My heart was racing at a pace that I only felt when my arm had been ripped off, and now that it was happening again, I knew exactly why...

It was fear...

One would probably retort with 'Of course you are scared. You are up against complete monsters', but to them, I would only have one thing to say.

This was not the same fear I felt on Earth, or should I say in the future... No. This was an indescribable fear mixed with a dreaded feeling which would have made any other man puke their guts out the moment they felt it.

This was something beyond the fear of death itself as if I was scared of something beyond it.
