Chapter 167 - Stabbed
Even after he died, the strange humanoid-shaped, fish-headed creatures continued to hack and stab Jack's dead body. Only after his carcass turned into a mangled mess did they stop their relentless assault. Two of them picked up the shredded remains, and pulled it back into the watery surface, soon descending into its depths.
With that, the remaining four suddenly turned towards Aiden and Cole, looking at the youths with their large, black eyes. As they had no eyelids to blink, nor sclera to discern where their pupils would point at, it just made their gazes all the more uncomfortable.
Cole shivered in fright looking at the horrendous creatures and instinctively took a step back while he continued to nervously hold and grip the hilt of his shortsword. Feeling his fright, Aiden looked at Cole with a gentle smile on his face and spoke in his usual calm tone. This time, however, there was no cold undertone.
