Chapter 129 The Dream

• ~Freya~
• As I sprinted as fast as my legs could, fleeing from an unseen but monstrous presence, the terrifying roar resounded in my ears. Fear consumed me, and my heart pounded wildly as I reached the edge of a cliff, realizing there was no way out. I stopped for a moment and glanced back at the pursuing horror. And there it was—an enormous monster with blood-red eyes, so tall that its height seemed immeasurable. The monster growled at me, and I screamed in agony as it tightened its grip around my throat, lifting me until I faced it.
• "Do you think a rankless wolf has a place in this world?" The voice emanating from the monster was eerily similar to mine, but I knew it wasn't my thoughts. I had never spoken such cruel words to myself. I tried to convince myself that it was all an illusion, that none of this was real. But the pain in my throat felt all too real as the monster choked me, bringing me closer to death.
