---- dungeon.

Each thud was like the toll of a bell, heralding her doom.

Then she saw it.

The creature stepped into the flickering torchlight, and her breath caught in her throat.

How did it got here? She thought this village was sale.

Its form was towering and grotesque, its hunched form barely fitting within the low-ceilinged dungeon.

Patches of matted fur clung to its mottled skin, and its limbs were unnaturally long, tipped with claws that glistened like blades.

Its face was worse.

A grotesque snarl revealed jagged, yellowed teeth, and its eyes burned with raw hunger.

Its red eyes clash with her scared Hazel ones.

And Alexs heart thundered in her chest.

No! Please! Stay there! ---- Chapter 487 The creature snarled, its head tilting as if mocking her plea.

It took a step closer, and Alex screamed, thrashing against her chains with all her might.

Help! she cried, her voice cracking.

Someone, help me! But the chaos above drowned her out.

The shouts and screams of menwarriorsfilled the air, their desperate commands barely reaching her over the creature's growls.

Hold him down.

Close the opening to the dungeon.

But there is a prisoner there.

Let it eat it, dammit! Or we all will die.

Alecias cries silenced down.

What was she thinking? That they will come to save her? She was stupid.

She accepted her fate.

Waiting for unescapable.

She screamed, a raw, guttural sound that echoed through the dungeon as blood seeped into her tattered clothing.

Her legs buckled beneath her, but the chains kept her upright, forcing her to endure the onslaught.noveldrama

The creatures claws found her legs next, carving deep gashes into her flesh.

She whimpered, tears streaming down her face as the pain became unbearable.

The dungeon spun around her, the torchlight blurring as her vision darkened.

Through the haze of agony, she heard the voices above growing louder, more frantic.

Fucking open it! But Sir- said right now! The voice sounded familiar...

how can she forget his ---- voice.

But then it must be her hallucination.

Like countless other times.

The creature loomed over her, its claws dripping with her blood, its eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure.

Alex mustered what little strength she had left, lifting her head to meet its gaze.

Please...

she whispered, her voice barely audible Don't...

The creature bared its teeth, leaning in close as its rancid breath washed over her.

And then it raised its claws for another strike.

It was over now.

Death would come...

earlier than she had thought.
