The man, if he could still be called one, had lost all resemblance to a living being.

His whole skin was missing, resulting in a grotesque sight. The nerves, the blood vessels, and even the blood flow were visible.

The chair he was strapped to was completely drenched in his blood.

From the comm thrown at the corner of the room, Varian recognized the man's identity.

Batran. A Peak level 8. The Commander of a hundred thousand-strong army. The protector of a fortress.
