Northern was not sure what these messages meant, but as they kept popping up and ringing in his head, 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 drive through his muscles.

He was not sure what was happening to Night Terror at the moment. But the monster was equally letting out pained growls.

At some point, its growls became weak and then stopped altogether.

Both of them lay motionless on the floor for a while, then eventually passed out.

———

Northern's eyes slowly came open, though blurry at first. But it wasn't really hard to tell things apart because he was in an inky darkness.

However, there was a slight ache at the back of his head. His whole body felt sore.

As he stood up, the soreness eased a little. He rested his back against the cave's wall and let out a loud sigh.

The sigh seemed to carry a lot more than just tiredness.

Northern struggled to remember what had happened but to no avail. Then, eventually, he did.

When he did… he jumped to his feet and tried to trace his way back to the very end of the cave. However, something was different about him.

Northern could accurately navigate through the darkness. He could tell each path apart from the moment he stood up; even the stones and the tiny cracks that ran through the wall were effortlessly picked up by his vision.

Even though it was so far away. Everything seemed so close in his eyes.

And it caused an overwhelming amount of information to enter his eyes and he couldn't help but feel lightheaded.

Then suddenly, without even taking a step forward, he collapsed.

'My eyes… feel numb…'

Northern raised his hand and tried to massage his eyes, he closed it for a couple of seconds then opened it again, blinking away the drowsy feeling.

'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 too much and very overwhelming.

However, he was adapting to it, so it was becoming bearable. Compared to the first time, Northern was not overwhelmed by headaches but instead felt at peace.

He turned around and saw the minute crawling insect with two antennae and four legs. Strangely, even with four legs, it was still hopping… and very slowly at that.

Northern was not supposed to see an insect of such size. It was so tiny that one would have needed more than the naked eye to see it.

To make matters worse, he could see it despite the darkness.

'Something has happened to me?!' Northern thought to himself then 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 a dead end and paused with a terrified expression wearing thin on his face.

"What happened here?"

The mysterious 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 creature that could have carried me out.'

Night Terror.

Did it rescue him and destroy 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 a 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 did not want any other person to find it out?'

It was 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 wouldn't be a problem anymore, and really, being able to see in the dark had solved a good number of his problems.

"What the hell… did Night Terror really do this?" Northern inquired silently as he investigated the cracks on a wall, the completely broken walls, and the shattered boulders that had all turned to debris.

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 the dark… amongst many other things had definitely given Night Terror a power of some sort.

Northern couldn't help but have a feeling of being robbed.

'That bastard.'

He turned and headed towards the entrance of the cave. He had gotten out, and yet, Night Terror was nowhere 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 under control. I feel very very good.'

Northern commented inwardly, breaking into 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, and 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 tearing pieces of paper. It kept 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 into 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 that 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!"
