The husk rebounded against the ground heavily, blood flying from its mouth.
Sylas continued walking forward, crossing by his side as though nothing at all had happened.
A flash came from the eyes of the husk, suddenly reaching out toward Sylas' leg.
But…
PUCHI!
Its arm went flying.
A single whip of Sylas' tail severed it at the elbow.
There wasn't a single groan of pain that came from the husk. But this didn't surprise Sylas in the slightest. How could something that wasn't even really human possibly feel pain?
Sylas' gait remained steady, but when he got to the end of the path, he paused.
A group of several dozen shadows stood, their gazes just as empty and vacant. Some of them held cold weapons, and the others held pistols and rifles.
They didn't seem very organized, and yet there wasn't a single gap between them to be exploited.
