Chapter 169: Requiem [3]

Our attention shifted when we heard a loud flapping sound of wings, looking all around I saw that the source of this sound was not visible. Through the dim light, I could see the blurry details, wings, and tail, but I couldn't see the entire body. 

I already knew what we would be facing since his fight with Leon had been shown in the novel, but knowing that what was is the reason I was more cautious than ever. 

"Be careful," Req warned. I nodded. 

Since it was difficult to call her by her pronouns, for now, I decided to call her Req, short for Requiem. It wasn't the best name in the world, but I can make the changes once we're out of here. 

Another sound fell onto our ears, we went stiff and raised our guard. They were not precisely clouds, but I was able to see something of a similar sort. More like mist…or steam? I wasn't quite able to put my finger on it, but that was the thing blocking our view after the lack of light in the room.
