The red shadow suddenly froze and stood blankly in front of the shadow where Lynch was. The sharp claw slowly retracted before it.
"You... you can see me? Heh..." A voice came faintly through a sound similar to the pulling of bellows. "You... can see?"
Lynch slowly stood up from the shadow and faced the red gaseous shadow. "What are you?"
"I... I don't know either..." The red shadow retreated a step, slowly began to deform, and returned to looking like a cloud. "I... don't know what I... am now..."
Lynch furrowed his eyebrows. Earlier, with his eyes closed, he had been watching using the ability of the Eye of Insight, so he was able to detect this strange entity rising slowly from the ground. Although this cloud hovered distinctly before him, without the Eye of Insight, not a trace of it could be seen.
