The air felt quite oppressive.
The blood-red aura that surged from Kael twisted the wind itself, bending light and shadow.
The once-watching crowd had already scattered. Some had run far away, while others crouched behind broken stalls, walls, or whatever debris could offer a sense of safety from the storm that had just woken in the form of a man.
"What the hell?"
"Just who is he?"
"An assassin…This guy is surely a reputed assassin."
The group of bandit crowd started to falter and step back in fear seeing an intense pressure emanating from a masked man.
They feared getting trampled in the fight against big elephants and crushed to death.
Just then, the one across the Coscoid street who had been gambling came running, hearing about the fight.
One voice rose from the broken alleyways.
"That… that monster's still alive?!"
Another gasped, "No… he's stronger. It's like something ancient just woke up."
While many started to run, few dared to lay tables and shouted.
