After flying for only a short while, Dillon stopped. Neither of them dared even breathe loudly, for a dense mass of Void Beasts had appeared ahead-at least a thousand of them.
A thousand Void Beasts was a truly terrifying number. Never mind a thousand; even a hundred could easily destroy countless Dimensional Domains, leaving every Liberator and Controller helpless.
