Last of a lagacy

As the new deformed creature appeared from the ground, the woman and the group that had run towards Akiel's direction hastily stopped and took a few steps back in a frightened manner. They also showed extreme fear as they looked back the way they came from.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this one," I said to them kindly, trying to ease their frightened faces. However, upon seeing me, they also showed fearful expressions.

Their faces confused me at first, but in the next moment, seeing my demonic hand, I realized why they were afraid of me.

"Are they scared of you because of your weird side? They must think that you're also a deformed monster," said Lafraya.

"Looks like that's the case. I'll explain to them about me after taking care of this one," said Akiel as he suddenly took a step forward and threw the sword in his hand toward the mole - shaped creature that prepared to dig back into the ground.

Eeek!
