What was that thing, a huge mass of black, cloud-like flesh?
Zimmerman and the others had completely vanished, leaving no trace.
Countless black, wispy things grew from the meat mass, spreading all around and almost filling the entire forbidden area, moving slowly like the finest of tentacles.
The meat mass seemed still alive, quivering occasionally, with each tremor releasing a great amount of black wisps.
The wisps writhed in midair, forming twisted whirls.
Weird, eerie.
An indescribable fear.
Upon witnessing this weird entity, everyone was shocked, but for different reasons; Nadia was shocked because she never imagined that at the depths of Wise Mountain, there laid such a weird and terrifying existence—could this be the secret that Master Zimmerman had been hiding from her?
What in the world was this thing? And where had Master Zimmerman gone?
