Chapter 102

"So you must be the creature that caused all the fuss I kept hearing about... I heard you even killed my child." The creature spoke... but it didn't?

The way it had spoken was weird. Its enormous maw did not move yet I could hear its voice as clear as day without a single sign of it being muffled or suppressed.

At the same time, as it spoke those words I could not help but feel curious... A curiosity that almost fought back my fear of it.

The keyword in that sentence being "almost".

'That was its child?!' A boiling rage began to rise from deep within my conscience. I could not believe that the very thing that had taken my arm was the child of this freak, yet at the same time, I could believe it.

My mind was being riddled with fear, anger, and curiosity which all made it hard for me to think straight.

My curiosity was speaking to me, telling me that its words sounded plausible yet my anger did the opposite.

My fear on the other hand was screaming at me to do nothing but, yet there I stood motionless and unable to move even if I tried.

I was not sure if it was the fear that had caused me to freeze or the anger and curiosity that had told me to stay and even fight the creature.

"That was your child?" I asked, rage evident in my raspy voice.

"Yes. Do not worry though, I have many children all across these forests. That one happened to have been a mutation that I kind of wanted to see grow but seeing that it had fallen to something as weak and pathetic as you, it meant that it was not worthy of my attention."

I didn't really understand why but those words had only made me angrier.

However, I did not act out of emotions and instead had closed my eyes and gritted my teeth in front of this thing.

It watched me with curiosity, even lowering its body and putting its eyes right in front of me.

Its eye alone was as big as 70% of my body.
