At this moment, far in the upper realms of the Orichalcum Kingdom, the ancient giant beast Fay, who was huddled in its lair recovering from injuries, suddenly shuddered.
A cold, icy sensation surged up its spine, causing it to involuntarily shiver.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like this?"
Fay expanded its perception, scanning the surrounding environment. After a moment, it relaxed slightly.
"Ugh... damn it..."
Regaining its composure, Fay cursed fiercely. The mere thought of that day—the fear it felt when that humanoid monster had dominated it—sent a chill through its heart.
"No, I can't face that monster again, absolutely not!"
It was only a physical injury it had sustained, a loss of some of its essence and blood, but the two other powerful deities that had accompanied it to that place had their souls and minds shattered by a terrifying blow. Even now, they hadn't fully recovered. Fay definitely didn't want to experience that kind of sensation.
