One of the men furrowed his brows.
"You see something?"
He spun around, observing his surroundings.
"...I don't see anything."
As for the man with glowing eyes, he only panicked more.
"It's a... a monster!"
His breathing became heavy.
"Run... we have to run!"
He bolted off, coincidentally heading towards Apollo and Layla. The entire time, he was screaming.
The other men brushed it off as a joke.
In fact, one of them could not stop himself from laughing.
"Haha, since when was he such a wuss? Heh, let me tell you about a time he acted all high and-"
The man was interrupted.
The upper half of his body was ripped from his legs.
Blood sprayed across the trees.
While his lower body fell lifelessly, his torso was held up in the air.
There was a dull expression on his face. He died before he could even register the pain.
The upper half of his body rapidly transformed to a deep black.
