Drown in madness and fear

Erste has been smiling that vicious smile of his ever since he learned of the world that had Gods hunting them. Each time he had faced insurmountable odds he would smile that vicious smile of his and like magic all of his fears at the moment would disappear. 

Erste had overwritten his fear with excitement and the thrill of battle filled him with courage. Yet now despite still smiling that vicious-looking smile of his, it did not make all the fear go away.

Even those weaker incarnations of him simply watching it as a video were affected by the aura of the Old God and were also in a state of minor fear. 

It was a good thing that the Old God in front of him was not moving only observing him. It took Erste a great deal of resolve simply to lift his sword and point it at the Old God. 

"How curious, not only do you not show signs of drowning in fear or being consumed by madness, but I also can't seem to read your mind."
