The minuscule flicker of mana within the creature intensified as it devoured more and more flesh, a spectacle invisible to anyone but Alex. "Shit!" he cursed as he materialised near the tier 4…-

Three monstrous abominations, comprised of mangled flesh, bones, and blood, loomed ominously before the elder.

The elder who heard Kalina's question shook his head in disappointment. He couldn't understand her reasoning. Greed! Was it greed when his life depended on it? Without them, he would have died. Does his life hold no value? Why should he put the welfare of others over his? "Kalina, you have yet to see the world. You have yet to see the real face of humanity. And it is not a pretty one. Your sheltered life may have protected you for now. But, there will soon come a day when you understand me."…
