1757 The Librarian Monster!

'Let's get started.' Felix said with a stern tone after spotting their enemies rushing up the staircase.

He knew that they had barely a minute or less before they arrived at the Silent Library.

'I am ready whenever you are.' Apollo replied as hepicked up a small, dusty tome from a nearby table, the weight of it surprisingly heavy in his hand.

With a final nod from Felix, Apollo let go of the book and it slammed on the ground akin to a gunshot in the overwhelming silence.

'Noise?! Who is stupid enough to make this kind of noise?!' Tempus Vey exclaimed in shock as he gazed at the origin of the thunderous echo.

Before his teammates could react, a chilling movement disturbed the nearest shelf next to them. They slowly raised their heads without daring to make any drastic movement.

With eyes engulfed in pure dread, they gazed at a hideous spider-like creature with eight long, wooden legs that clicked and clacked against the bookshelves as it crawled...

Its body was a combination of wood and paper, resembling a giant, bound tome, blending almost perfectly with its environment.

'The Librarian is right above us...Don't you dare make a single sound if you don't want to be placed on a shelf for eternity...' Tempus Vey stammered telepathically, feeling like his life was no longer in his hands.

His reaction was more than understandable. Based on the map's details, anyone caught by the Librarian Monster would have his entire being eaten and coughed out as a book!

Based on the provided memories, the book would have an entire story narration from the start to the end of the victim.

The worst part? The victims were trapped inside their own stories without any possibility of escaping the book!

Baaaam!!

Suddenly, the Library was engulfed in another booming noise, causing the Librarian monster to halt its movement towards the Chronowalkers' squad. It lifted its head and gazed with its crimson-red eyes at the direction of the noise.
