As Vic watched Angelica walk away with Silas beside her, a low growl reached his ears, pulling his attention to the side. Turning, he spotted a creature just a few meters away.

The mutant stood no taller than five feet, gripping a short, crude dagger in its right hand. Its body was covered in rough green scales, glistening under the dim light, and its mouth hung open, revealing a long, twisted green tongue that flicked out as it stared at him with intense focus.

Before the creature could react, Sebastian swung his fist with powerful precision at its head.
