Northern was not sure what these messages meant, but as they kept ringing out, the pain intensified, his eyes went blank and the only thing he could see was darkness.
Northern hugged himself and shivered as he felt a jarring pain forcefully drove through his muscles.
He was not sure what was happening to Night Terror at this moment. But the monster was equally letting out pained growls.
At some point, it growls became weak and stopped.
Both of them laid motionless on the floor for a while then eventually passed out.
———
Northern's eyes slowly came open, blurry at first. But things weren't so hard to tell apart because he was in an inky darkness.
However there was a slight ache behind his head. His whole body felt sour.
As he stood up, the sourness eased a little. He rested his back against the cave wall and let out a tremendous sigh.
That sigh seemed to carry a lot than just tiredness.
Northern struggled to remember what had happened but eventually he did.
When he did… he flung up and tried to trace his way back to the dead end of the cave. However something was different about him.
Northern could accurately navigate through the darkness. He could tell which apart from which the moment he stood up, the stones, the tiny cracks that ran through the wall entered his vision effortlessly.
Even though it was so far away. Everything seemed so close to his eyes.
And it caused an overwhelming amount of information to enter into his eyes such that he couldn't help but feel heavy.
And collapsed without barely walking.
'My eyes… feels numb…'
Northern took his and and tried to squeeze his eyes, he closed for a couple of second and opened it, blinking.
'Okay, now it's better'
Indeed it was. So, he stood up. However, he was met by the same amount of information running into his eyes.
It was much and overwhelming.
But it was getting bearable, compared to the first time, Northern was not ridden by headache but instead felt at peace.
He turned around and saw the minute crawling insect with antenna and four legs. Strangely, even with four legs it was still hopping… very slowly as at that.
Northern was not supposed to see an insect of such scale. It was so tiny that one would have needed more than the naked eyes to see it.
To make matters worse it was in the darkness?
'Something is happened to me?!' Nortjern suspected and returned to his main objective.
"I guess it's a good thing I can see extra well now" he whispered to himself and began to walk forward.
After a couple of seconds. He reached the dead and paused with a terrific expression wearing thin on his face.
"What happened here?"
The sourceless light of the cliff was gone. All the chambers…had crumbled to dust.
"How?" Northern's voice trembled.
Immediately, a single possibility entered his mind.
'I'm sure I passed out on the ground in the first chamber. There's only one that could have carried me out.'
Night Terror.
Did it rescue him and destroyed the temple? Why?
Northern thought hard for a while. It was not hard to dig out the reason why Night Terror must have done such deed.
Perhaps even he would have done the same.
'It's a monster, I can't blame its sense… still to destroy the entire place because it does not want any other person to find it out?'
It's just insane!
Northern looked around, he could see the details clearly despite it being so dark.
He felt strange but he liked the new development. Transversing the gloomy forest won't be a problem anymore and really being able to see in the dark has a good number of his problem solved.
"What the hell… did Night Terror really do this?" Northern inquired silently as he investigated the cracks on the wall, the broken walls and shattered stones, all turn debrises.
It would take a colossal being to deliver such blows.
Northern was sure that whatever happened to him that made his eyes so good in dark… amongst many other things would have definitely given Night Terror a power of some sort.
Northern couldn't help but feel a sense of being robbed.
'That bastard'
He turned and headed towards the entrance of the cave. He had gotten out and yet Night Terror was no where to be found.
He sat at the edge of the cave, his legs tempting the deep ground to swallow it.
But Northern was not worried about falling down this time around.
'I feel like I have everything in control. I feel very very good'
Northern commented inwardly, allowing an absurd smile. He wasn't used to smiling so now that one came out, it looked odd on his pale lifeless face.
Northern closed and opened his eyes. Then looked down.
Something shocking happened!
He could see as far as into the gloomy forest. And there, Night Terror was currently decimating the scavengers, destroying them with a primal glee burning in its eyes.
The stalwart monster tore through the ranks of Corpse Eaters like he was cutting pieces of paper. It was melting in and out of darkness, playing with the savage monsters.
For some reason the crimson flames in Night Terror's eyes seemed to burn more ferociously than ever before.
Northern's brows creased to a frown. At this point he was sure.
'That bastard! It has definitely become more powerful!'
But Night Terror's rise in power was not what amused Northern the most.
He was sure, he too must have received something!
Northern's heart danced with excitement as he summoned the panel of his profile.
"Let's see what I've got!"
