"Hmm?!"
The Demon's eyes widened in disbelief, as he was pushed back despite Zagreus not even being strong enough to make a scratch on him!
CRAAASH!
And Zagreus' eyes, alongside his friends, widened. They were as shocked as he was after discovering this new, yet sacrificial power.
"T-The souls…! They were souls?"
