Aectaeon threw the gas mask away. He began cracking his knuckles, stretching his limbs thereafter.
His eyes had become empty. It wasn't like the night sky dotted by a few stars. It wasn't like the darkness of the forest that was mostly the shadow of the trees and animals.
They were just empty.
It was as if his eyes were absorbing whatever light might come his way.
Aectaeon was still a human. Make no mistake. However, there was something else in his body.
Something that could possibly control him.
As of the moment, Aectaeon was unconsciously holding on to his sanity. He was holding on to his true self.
"Manus Celer Dei, Yulier's Spear," Aectaeon muttered under his breath.
There was no proper summoning phrase for the Yulier's Spear, or any artefact at all. The man believed that it would be revealed upon his return at the Obelisk. Hence, Aectaeon took his chance by calling out the spear's name.
