rocks grinding into dust echoed faintly in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the wind stopped completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange tension filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, everything became unnaturally still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness around the undead Komodo seemed to deepen, thickening like an invisible curtain that slowly wrapped around the

tangible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, faint cries echoed through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were eerie, ghostly sounds that drifted through the darkness like whispers carried by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cries seemed distant at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet strangely, they also sounded incredibly close, so close that it almost felt as if they were whispering right beside the Komodo’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one listened carefully, the sound still seemed to originate from somewhere far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contradiction was deeply unsettling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie cries continued for several moments before suddenly stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the deep vibrations in the ground vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the darkness continued to deepen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowly swallowed the enormous figure of the undead

the world consisted of only four glowing lights within the darkness: the Komodo’s yellow soul fire and the distant blue lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the blue lights doubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two became four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four became eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight became dozens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, the number multiplied into hundreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of bluish lights surrounded the undead Komodo from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hovered in the darkness like cold, watchful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single one of them was locked onto the towering undead creature standing in the center of the rocky plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence filled the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the wind seemed too afraid to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss itself appeared to be holding its breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all the bluish lights vanished at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost within his dreams, Thoren merely shifted his sleeping position slightly, searching for a more comfortable posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remained completely unaware of what had just transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the oppressive darkness faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky began to brighten as dawn approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale light spread across the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren opened his eyes lazily and sat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his arms and let out a long
