Chapter 411 - Losing Control

"Huh? What's happening…." The change in the behavior of the Skinks was so sudden, so abrupt, that none of the party members knew what to do, how to react. They looked around with bewildered, confused eyes,  tightly clenching to their weapons (or, to their fists in case of Lily), eying the little yellow-eyed bastards as they slowly, but surely backed away.

What was even more baffling was the target of each of the little demon's gazes: Aiden. Each and every one of the small, at most meter-long bipedal reptilian creatures, that, just a moment ago seemed like vicious, feral monsters, were gazing at the long, black-haired youth with surprisingly complex gazes.

There was no anger, or rage in their yellow eyes any more. No, on the contrary, a look of awe, and respect. Fear and Reverence. Strange, conflicting emotions, but most importantly, intelligence that shouldn't be normally possible.
