Evolving Horror

[Anomalous Entity Identified.]

["J–"] [Level: 28] 

As the assigned level increased in direct proportion to his threat, the man he once found recognizable to humans was no longer there. No matter what he said nor the past he once upheld, the man known as "Jon" was dead–all that stood in that room with him was an inhuman existence. 

"I'm not a coward, am I?" The man-resembling figure asked. 

"--" Leon remained silent, only holding his ground with his sword kept raised. 

The ghoulish figure wiped the blood from his nose, staring with his glazed over eyes towards a sky blocked by the ceiling, "Even now…I'm scared to do it. Even if Lord Schoeller is infected, do I have to kill him…?"

Leon felt the same hesitation himself when viewing the expression on Jon's face; it was that of melancholy, yet it soon turned to resolve.
