Selina and the High Priest jumped together, and moments later, strange things began to happen.
The monsters within the temple—and even those on the outskirts—who had been baring their fangs and snarling, suddenly melted away into nothing.
Splurt. Red orbs rolled out from the melting corpses, then shattered on their own as if they’d exploded.
The knights stood dumbfounded, jaws slack at the unbelievable sight.
“What… is this…?”
Someone murmured the words.
Even with the monsters gone, Lukas didn’t lower his guard. Cautiously, he stepped closer and examined the black puddle and the shattered orbs.
